With all the interest in retro hairstyles from past decades, the feathered look from the 70s is still sought after and here is a good example in this graduation picture from 1977. This teen girl has medium brown long hair that is curled back around the front from the bangs down to the ends. This was generally accomplished with a curling iron held vertically and curling sections toward the back after blowing drying. There have been many celebrity woman who have opted for this look and here is a modern example.
What an awesome picture picture straight from 1976.
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.

Looking for a way to wear a forehead scarf in retro fashion? This woman is sporting a simple black silk scarf over the top of her head that comes down toward her eyes and it has the functional purpose of holding the hair away from the face and out of the eyes. Her blonde locks are full of casual messy curls that can be created with the use of a diffuser and curl enhancing products. The key is to scrunch with fingers while blow-drying. Her smock type shirt is inspired by 70s colors with bursts of yellow, orange, teal, and olive green. This certainly has the feel of the hippie flower child experience.
