Free-flowing Long Hair
Ultimate style icon Cher dazzled the public with her creative and experimental looks. Yet no matter how outlandish her outfits went, her long, straight, parted-in-the-middle locks provided both drama and carefree quality.
Actress Ali MacGraw also sported the same iconic 70s-style, center-parted locks, which clearly stood out in Love Story.
Want to achieve this simple yet classic look? Reach for TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum, which can give your hair a smooth and glossy appearance that looks healthy, frizz-free, and polished.
Bouncy Layers and Curtain Bangs
Farrah Fawcett’s feather haircut is seeing a revival thanks to Gen Z style stars on TikTok. Yet it’s no secret that the original Charlie’s Angels star was well-known for her fluffy and bouncy tresses. She's also the OG style inspiration of the trend we know today as curtain bangs.
Fluffy Curls
Here’s a great hairspo for kulot girls: Queen of Disco Donna Summer’s glorious curls. Her hair struck the right balance between fluffy and glamorous. It was a statement piece on its own that immediately commanded attention. No wonder she became an iconic style inspiration for many who loved her, even decades later.
Shag Mullet
Jane Fonda's shag mullet may be one of the most contentious hairstyles out there, and not everyone can pull it off. In previous years, the mullet has an unflattering rep, but celebrities with modern takes on the shag mullet, such as Billie Eilish, Zendaya, or Miley Cyrus, have us rethinking our stance. Done right, it can look chic with just the right edge.
Wavy Hair and Messy Bangs
No one captured flower power quite like Stevie Nicks back in the day. A '70s fashion icon, the Fleetwood Mac singer wore gorgeous, wavy hair and messy bangs that had an effortless-woke-up-like-this vibe.
Take Stevie’s flowy look to the 21st century and get naturally tousled hair with Dove Botanical Silicone Free Shampoo for Fresh Hair Clarify. Its dissolvable petals deeply cleanse and freshen hair. For best results, finish up your shower routine with Dove Botanical Selection Hair Conditioner for Fresh Hair Clarify. It gives your scalp a deep-clean while balancing your hair’s moisture levels.
After showering, reach for your curling wand and make those light curls. You can also twist your hair in a bun and leave it in for 10 minutes, locking it in with a light spray, for a more maintenance look.
Turn back time with these hairstyles, best paired with ’70s fashion. Take these inspirations from the past to get that groovy look you’ve always wanted.
