17. Long Waves
Think loose, natural waves that look like you just spent a day at the beach. This was a popular, relaxed style back then. It feels so effortless and cool. You can get this look with a large barrel curling iron or by setting your hair in big rollers. It’s all about that soft, undone texture.
16. The Wedge Cut
The wedge cut is sharp and bold! It has a stacked back that creates a lot of volume and tapers shorter towards the front. It’s a really modern-looking style even now. If you have fine hair, this cut can give you amazing body. Use a little styling gel to keep those angles looking defined.
15. Disco Curls
Get ready to dance with disco curls! These are tight, bouncy curls full of energy. They scream fun and a good time. This look is perfect if you have naturally curly hair or want to use smaller styling tools. When blow-drying, use a diffuser to keep those curls intact and bouncy.
14. The Pageboy
The pageboy is a classic for a reason. It’s smooth, rounded, and has those ends that curl inward towards your chin or neck. It has a timeless, polished feel. I find a flat iron is great for getting that perfect inward curl on the ends. Just gently curve it under as you reach the end of the section.
13. High Ponytails
A high ponytail is simple, chic, and keeps your hair out of your face. It was a popular everyday style in the 70s. You can wear it sleek or with a little volume at the crown. A strong-hold hairspray is essential to keep it looking neat and high all day long. It’s such an easy way to feel put together.
12. Voluminous Updos
The 70s loved height in updos! Think lots of volume at the crown, often with soft pieces around the face. These styles are perfect for weddings or fancy parties. Backcombing sections at the crown before pinning helps create that amazing lift and fullness. Don’t be afraid to go big!
11. The Bowl Cut
Okay, the bowl cut is definitely a daring choice! It has that distinct, rounded shape all the way around your head. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it can look super cool and edgy. Regular trims are a must to keep this shape looking sharp and intentional. It’s a bold statement style.
10. Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs are soft, versatile, and flattering. They sweep across the forehead, usually to one side. They work well with almost any hair length and face shape. To style them, use a brush and your blow-dryer, directing the air and the brush to sweep the hair to the side you want.
