1970s Hair Styling Instructions

The Afro is one of the signature hair styles of the 70s.


Charlie's Angels," "Foxy Brown," ABBA -- these are a few of the entertainment experiences that readily recall the 1970s. But you can evoke a groovy mood without resorting to old films, classic TV, or eight-tracks. Your hair's styling can transport you and those who gaze at you back in time thirty years or more. One of the easiest and quickest ways to go 70s is by wearing your hair naturally. The decade seemed to resist the more intricate hairstyles of prior decades.


Instructions


1. Wear your hair straight and long. This easy and carefree style brings back memories of the 70s hippie aesthetic. If you have curly hair, enlist a straightener to help you achieve this. Employ a hair dryer and a brush to help you straighten your hair gently. Perform this in front of a mirror to let you see the possibilities of putting in an offset part or maybe creating bangs.


2. Grow kinky hair and groom it into an Afro. Use an afro pick (a wide-toothed comb) in conjunction with a hair dryer (on low to medium setting) to add volume. Maintain the health of your hair with moisturizers and oils. Trim the edges of your Afro regularly to maintain a sharp finish.


3. Consult pictures of Dorothy Hamill, and consider her wedge hairstyle. Think of the style as a bowl cut with a more feminine sensibility.


4. Get a "shag" haircut for a style with the wavy grace of Farrah Fawcett's hair. Dye your hair blonde, learn to use a curling iron, and incorporate smooth curves into your locks.


5. Men, include a well-sized bang that parts to the side into your hair styling. Grow out your sideburns and mustache as well, as these are token indicators of 1970s male appearance.
