70s-inspired hair: long live freedom
The 70s were a period of great changes in women's lives, which were also reflected in the costume, in fashion and, obviously, also in the "hair look of the time". The watchword was freedom. Freedom to experiment with volumes, short cuts, afro curls, super-voluminous and teased hair or, on the contrary, rigorously smooth hair made cheeky by a sassy fringe a la Jane Birkin. The hairstyles of the 70 "s are back in fashion, thanks to the revival carried out by TV series (do you remember Made in Italy, set in the "Italy of the seventies?), by celebrities and fashion.
The actresses and singers of the time then became true icons, so much so that their looks are still imitated today. Here is a roundup of the most popular hairstyles of the 70s, to be replicated immediately!
Straight hair and bangs like Jane Birkin and Ali MacGrow
A typical hairstyle of the 70s is long straight hair, worn loose and usually with bangs. Girls loved to combine accessories to complete the look such as bandanas, scarves and headbands. The icons of cinema that made this hairstyle immortal are certainly Jane Birkin and Ali MacGrow, famous for their long spaghetti-like hair. The fringe, in particular, is the characteristic feature of the French actress: slightly curtained and never too heavy, it frames the face giving the whole a light-hearted air. .
Ali MacGrow, on the other hand, became famous for her very long hair completed by a central and straight line.
Towards the end of the decade, when the fashion of the 80s was already beginning to appear, the curtain fringe appeared, central or side but always and in any case voluminous. Singer Debbie Harry is the reference point for this trend that is easy to achieve even on your own.
A full volume head with afro style curls
Another typical trend of 70s fashion are the extra voluminous curls, made famous by Diana Ross and Donna Summer. More than a simple hairstyle, it is a real affirmation of one's identity, which has however become one of the emblematic hairstyles of the era. To achieve it, you need a good amount of super curly hair, to be backcombed around the head with special irons. In recent years a less rigid and freer version of afro curls has become fashionable, made famous by the leading actress of the Made in Italy series.
The waves a la Charlie's Angels
What is perhaps the most typical hairstyle of the 70s are the Charlie "s Angels style waves. The slightly curly and wavy hair takes a free, soft movement and frames the face following a barely moved line. Just think of Brigitte Bardot or the protagonists of American TV series all with voluminous hair of medium length. It is a "hairstyle that is suitable for practically all of us and which has returned to great fashion in recent years.
Jane Fonda's shag
Even the haircut called shag is typical of the 70s. Made famous by the actress Jane Fonda, it is a very scaled medium-short cut that provides the final part of the tips less voluminous than the rest of the hair. In recent years it is back in fashion (in a corrected and revised version) especially for younger girls because it gives grit and character to the rest of the look.
