Teenage girls of the 70's wore sweaters with printed scenery and feathered hair. One teen girl has a straight version of this hairstyle and one has a curly version. The bangs were even parted and parts varied from in the middle to off center. Parts were very deliberate and even. That was the first thing one did before styling began. This is a fun photograph to see the retro fashions and decor.

The shag hairstyle began in the late 60's and was strong into the early 70's. This photograph was taken around 1970 and shows the hair and fashion that was hot during this time with men and women. This young woman's hairstyle has the typical hourglass shape that came from the transformation of the bouffant which was full and round on top. Then, the fringes of longer pieces that came down the neck and flipped up, just like the Florence Henderson hairdo from the Brady Bunch, made the shag just that.

If you are on the hunt for a rockin' rocker hairstyle, then you must see Steven Tyler with his long 70's hairstyle. This picture of him was taken at an event to donate memorabilia to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida on 12/7/2007. His layered and feathered locks are highlighted to add dimension to this retro look. He has dark brown hair with an artistic flair which is accomplished with the addition of copper color highlights and accessories such as feathers and colored braids added to dangle down each side. These decorations are clipped into place and help to showcase his Native American (Cherokee) descent. He is sporting one of his trademark scarves wrapped around his neck and he usually takes that scarf and hangs it from his mic as he performs. He is wearing a plain white shirt with black vest and his neck wrap is an animal print.

If you are looking for a dorky picture of the early 1970's that shows the typical retro hairstyles and clothing, then take a look at this one. What a beehive she's got there which is actually a decade late but some of the older women back then were still stuck in the 60's, just like we see with some of today's women. Men back then had long side burns as we see here. Older men wore haircuts above the ears and younger guys wore their hair longer and it covered the ears.

The 70's had some really cool hairstyles, but this one is not one of those. This does show the basic idea of how feathered hair was created with the haircut which is layered. The bangs are parted in the middle along with the rest of the locks and then brushed to each side. This was a typical look for this decade and was popular for boys as well as girls. This was hip teenager style for 1977 and we see these necklaces with beads and shells on young people today.
