Women golfers in the early 70s show the hairstyles that older ladies wore during this time period and the fashions. The gal in the middle is sporting the left over 60s bouffant while the other two just have short no care hair. Skirts were popular in primary colors and patterns such as geometric. Purses were not much of a fashion statement as we can see, but those Mr. Magoo big sunglasses were very popular.

This photo from 1972 shows the hair and fashions that one might see at a family Christmas gathering. The pre-teen on the left has a haircut that was called a fluorantine. It was a variation of the shag but a little different. It was layered, had bangs, and was about shoulder length or just past. This was a time when the long, straight, and no-style hair was the most popular but some just did not look that great in that 'do. The younger girl has a simple bob. The older woman in the doorway is sporting the bouffant which was on its way out but some preferred to hang onto to this look for awhile longer.

Hippies were well known in the 60s and 70s. They were usually those in the younger generation (teens and 20 something year olds) who wanted to set themselves apart from the conservative folks. They did this by growing their hair long and often in a no-style fashion. Usually hair was parted in the middle and bang-less. During this time period, long side burns were the thing for men. Headbands were popular and served to keep the sweat out of the eyes, but actually they were merely a fashion statement. Aviator sunglasses along with tie-dye including bright colors finish off the look.

This photograph is straight out of the 70's and to be more specific: 1976. This hairstyle looks amazingly similar to those we see today with the long soft waves. Back in this decade, a middle part without bangs was typical. The early part of this era showed more straight styles, but waves began to make an appearance and usually were accomplished with hot rollers. Here we see how the strands are smooth down to about ear level and then the bends begin. This could be very fashonable by today's standards.

Young teen boys like to wear their hair a little longer these days and this one here is no different. A full bang and sides cut about mid ear with the back coming down the neck makes this style fit right in with today's look for teenagers. His wavy hair is left to do its natural thing which is quite easy in deed. This hairstyle gets its roots from days gone by as we see here in this photo below of a teenage boy from the late 70s.
