This is a typical hairstyle that one may have seen on a teenage girl in 1973. It is long and straight on top with long bangs that are at chin level and hair is parted in the middle. From about chin length down, hair is curled in loose curls that were most likely achieved with hot rollers. This picture was actually taken in 1973 and the style looks very similar to those seen today.

Shandi Fiennessy shows us a modern twist on a retro blast from the past feathered back hairstyle. Her hair is blonde and bright with the help of some highlights that add dimension to this layered hairstyle. Bangs are long and brushed to the side. The length is a little longer in the back with the sides brushing just past her shoulders. There is height at the top which can be accomplished with a little root lift spray concentrated on the roots of damp hair. Using a large round brush pull up while applying heat to the hair near the scalp and then roll hair over brush while drying and finish with a blast of cold air to set. Direct the hair over the brush and toward the back for the sides while styling with the blow-dryer. Touch up ends with a large barrel curling iron if necessary.

Bette Midler is seen here with her long and layered blonde hairstyle. She is wearing it in a feathered back fashion and shows us that even women in their 60's can wear their hair long and look beautiful. Once upon a time, women in their 60's were considered older, but now, this age group is the new young. Bette is 61 years old and she looks great.

Now here is some real retro hair band style. Kimberley Stewart is seen here sporting very long straight blonde hair that is tied back using a blue scarf as a headband. Her hair is pushed up at the crown to give some big hair volume on top. The large aviator style sunglasses top off her rocker style.
