 Kelly Ripa always looks so great. She is in her late 30's and is approaching her 40's, but shows us women that we can look hot at any age. We love her medium length, feminine, and softly curled hairstyle. The top of her style is smoothed out straight while the bottom gently curls around her shoulders. This combination is wildly popular among the celebrities right now. She has a side part with the hair being swept over and brushed back. This slightly resembles the feathered hairdos of days gone by.

Valerie Bertinelli has been in the spotlight lately with her weight loss, but we love her feathered hairstyle. It is simple and very retro. Many of the celebrities are sporting this layered and wispy look. Shandi Fiennessy has a similar style.

Real pictures from the 1970s help to see the what the feathered hairstyles looked like from that time. This young woman has shoulder length naturally golden blonde hair that is layered in such a way to resemble feathers down the sides. This was the hot hairdo of the 70s which got its inspiration from actress Farrah Fawcett of Charlies Angels. Either curling irons or hot rollers were used to help with the styling.

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.

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.
