Seventies Hairstyle – Hey, Hey, Hey, Here We Go Again!
Yes, we’ve all heard it before, but here you go again…what goes around comes around; and, it’s now time for the Seventies Hairstyle to yet again take the stage. Encompassing the straight, long hairstyle prominent in the Sixties to the shag hairstyle made popular by music superstars and hair bands, the look of the Seventies was varied and flashy – and it’s on its way back.
The Shag Hairstyle
Made popular by David Bowie, Bobby Sherman and popular hair bands of the time, the Shag haircut was the clear winner of the Seventies. Even today and during the past 20+ years, the shag hairstyle has survived and morphed into the most popular of styles. The bob, layered bob, the inverted bob, wedge, and even – hold your breath – the Mullet, owe their origins to the classic shag hair style.
Long & Straight Hairstyle
What made the layered and Shag “doable” was the pre-dominant style of the day, long and straight. Without that style, layers would not have been possible and Cher might not have been as popular – of course the leather vest helped, too! Leftover from the Sixties, longer hair styles began to shorten and stylists began experimenting with styling tools – blow dryers, flat irons and curlers.
Big Curls
With the advancement of styling tools, big curls popped-up everywhere and the Farrah look was born. Shaped in the minds of everyone, the Farrah poster hung on every 16 year old’s wall. The bathing suit-clad TV star became an icon for big, long, curly hair overnight. Hair dryers, curlers and round brushes were swept off the shelves as that “look” was tried by every women from 12 to 40.
The Crop
The Crop, Bob, bobbed, inverted Bob can be attributed to Dorothy Hamill and soon overshadowed the Farrah look that was worn by one of the top Olympic skaters of her time. Characterized by the enfolding face look and the inversion in the back, the Hamill look continues today – with a modified version just recently becoming “the style” for 2008.
The Seventies Hairstyle is Back!
So, everywhere you look, the standard, classic hair styles that helped define the Seventies are returning to a new generation of women (and men). The layered look is becoming more sophisticated, the shag is modified and toned-down, big curls are now combined with sophisticated cuts and styles made possible by today’s styling appliances and hair products.
The seventies hairstyle is back! So, where did I put those platform shoes?
