feathered hairstyles

Feathered hairstyles are very 70's but they are very trendy and popular today as well. Come and see what all the talk is about. We have some great authentic retro pictures and well as today's versions.

What an awesome picture picture straight from 1976.

Father and Two Sons

Back in the day, boys wore their hair much longer than their fathers would have liked. This picture is from the 70s, probably about 1976 and shows a man standing next to his two sons who are sporting long locks down past their ears and bangs. One guy has an embroidered jean shirt and since styles seem to keep rolling back around, I wonder if we will start seeing these again; and it is tucked in. We already see the younger generations copying the hairstyle on the left which has bangs and a length to the shoulders. Feathered was the way to be.

Miley Cirus is all about retro country style here in this picture of her taken during a performance on ABC's Good Morning America Friday July 18th 2008. Her feathered hairstyle might remind one of Farrah Fawcett's popular 70s 'do back in the day. She has a side part with hair that is styled smooth down to about ear level where the strands transition into a curled back fashion. Her long locks cascade over her shoulders and intermingle with the ruffles on the front of her checkered cowgirl shirt. She is wearing jean shorts and funky scrunch boots which some of us remember from the 80s. She is all smiles with microphone in hand.

Kelly Ripa even looks great when she is out exercising to stay fit and at the same time The Regis and Kelly Show hosts the "High-Heel-a-Thon" for the March of Dimes Charity in Central Park. Her long blonde locks are styled in a feathered fashion that looks good and still works for a work out especially if you are not wanting to do a ponytail for updo.

Bree Williamson has pretty blonde locks that have some retro appeal here with a feathered appearance and loose curl. This look hearkens back to the 70s when Farrah Fawcett hair was popular. Hair is parted near the middle and is curled back started at about eye level. Winding sections around a medium barrel curling iron held vertically and wrapping toward the back help to achieve this style.

If you are looking for a lovely long formal hairstyle that can be worn down, take a look at this one. This young woman has a straight feathered hairdo that is reminiscent of decades gone by (late 70s) and looks glamorous with this simple style. Using a large round brush and blow-dryer it would be easy to create this look as you would point the dryer in a downward motion as you run the brush under the sections. Next, direct the air toward the back while brushing the side in the same direction. Having some layers cut into locks is important to help achieve that feathered appearance.
