1970's Hairstyles

With some of the fashions from the 70's back on the catwalk this year, it wouldn't be a surprise to see retro seventies hair styles back in too.

You can check out some vintage hairstyle and fashion items from the seventies at Fashion-Era.com 

The seventies was the era of punk, short spikey punk hairstyles were all the rage!  It was also a time of some strange fashion trends!

If you're going to a 70's party cute punk hair do's are a great idea and so easy to create.  You'll find fancy dress stores will have wigs, or you can buy a hair color to add striking stripes or zigzags .

Otherwise, try long hair (for men) and flared trousers or bell bottoms as they were known.

Women's styles in the seventies included the bob and shag hairstyles were also in vogue as they were easy to maintain and create.  Look for archive images of Farrah Fawcett to get idea of just how big hair was!

Dig around in charity or thrift shops for some platform shoes (which have strangely been back in fashion) to complete the look.

Another look that was memorable was "hot pants" -

Films that epitomise the era:-

• Saturday Night Fever
• Jaws
• Close Encounters of the Third Kind
• The Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Superman (the original movie with Christopher Reeves)
• Star Wars
• and, of course, who could forget the performance of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John in Grease, the movie?!

Cool punk hairstyles

If you're off to a fancy dress party, it's easy to re-create the cool punk hairstyles of the 1970's.
