Hairstyles change by the decade, and right now we’re all about long and straight hair. But in the ’70s, they didn’t keep things simple. Everything was big, feathered and teased.

So, if you’re trying to add a little dimension and fun to your daily hair routine, these five ’70s hairstyles might do the trick.

1 The Shag

This hairstyle began when Jane Fonda rocked it in the film “Klute.”

It requires layers that progress from shortest (at the top) to longest (at the bottom). Whether it’s short, mid-length or long, all shag hairstyles have evenly progressing layers.

If you’re looking to rock your punk side, it’s a good style for you.

And through the years, celebrities such as Joan Jett and Taylor Swift have rocked the feathered look.

2 The Feathered Look

Actress Farrah Fawcett wore this look on the set of “Charlie’s Angels,” and she started a popular look that refuses to die.

The hairstyle is a mid- to long-length style that’s curled to the back and to the sides. The hairstyle looks like the feathers of a bird, so it’s typically big and voluminous. While a layered look and a feathered look sound similar, a feathered look has more textured layers while a layered look is cut into sections.

Here are some ’70s and modern celebrities who rock this look too well.

3 Straight and Sleek

The straight and sleek style was more a bohemian look. Think Donna in “That ’70s Show.”

The hairstyle was all about the natural, minimal effort look. Ali Macgraw was the symbol of this sleek and healthy style, but here are other celebrities who have rocked their straight and sleek style.

4 The Pageboy

The style started in the ’50s but actress Joanna Lumley brought it back in style in the ’70s.

The hairstyle requires the hair to be cut anywhere from shoulder length to right below the ears. The hair is usually flipped in towards the face and bangs are vital to this look.

The modern version of this look is more of a bob, but here are some celebrities who look great in this style.

5 Brow-skimming bangs

It doesn’t seem like bangs ever go out of style.

Before the ’70s, bangs were short and harsher. But during the ’70s, bangs became softer, looser and longer. They were usually worn with long hair and meant to draw attention to the eyes.

Celebrities such as Joni Mitchell, Olivia Newton-Jon and Jane Birkin pioneered the long bang look, but here are some celebrities who put a modern twist on this ’70s look.

Although it’s been over 40 years since these styles were in style, it doesn’t mean you can’t bring them back with your own modern twist like these amazing actresses did.
