I have an afro but I would love to have the Farrah Flip XD

Dead on! Love the head scarf with your eyes, the polyester tube top style was ..more early 80s though. 70s were more cottons, rayons and silk textiles with glorious ethnic patterns as you stated. Good Job!

What about the AFROS? lol

[DeanaUSA]

no offense, but where did you get your 70's info. I was in middle school in 71-73 and high school in 73-77....so it's fair to say I was there in the era you are speaking of, I was a teen in the 70's... I dont' remember ANYONE wearing a scarf and as for ETHNIC, not in Portland, Oregon at that time. It was pretty much long and straight with a part in the middle.

She is dumb as a box of rocks. Who let her on camera in the first place? She should really get her facts straight before she goes on making these 70 inspired video's. Her pancake titty video is disturbing!

[wmichswingers]

you forgot the Farrah-do!

Lastly: product was huge: think Aqua Net and Dippity Doo, to name just a few. It was also the first great age of Hair Conditioners to complement the new "herbal" shampoos

I've gotta agree with most of the other commentators here regarding 70s hair, at least as far as women's hair was concerned.

The biggest thing you left out was the ubiquitous center-part. It was absolutely essential for young people from 1970 straight on.

And, at least in SE Massachusetts where I grew up, all the girls cut their long hair sometime between 1975 and 76. The most popular cut was the Dorothy Hammil, though many variations on flips and feathers were also extremely popular.

this isnt 70's. Im sorry but, it isnt. Alright what you are saying are kinda true but you dont look 70 at all.

[brousseaua]

um....where are you getting your information?? Take a look at the youtube video that shows the pix from the 1976 Montgomery Ward catalogues...that was the way it was, hair, shoes, check the pants, they were not tight, you say there were 3 styles of hair? Covered like Rhoda, long and straight after we ironed it, yes, we ironed it, maybe ONCE, then we had to sleep in curlers, and the Farah look...you are so off base. The pictures in the catalogues contradict most of what you say.

From about 1973 to 1976 in Britain, girls had short, layered cuts with a side parting and 'flicks'. A bit like John Travolta's first partner in Saturday Night Fever.

Then in 1976, we all got wedge cuts.

[snoops71]

You forgot the Dorothy Hamill wedge;-)

I like your "Rhoda" look...

[lafatbiche]

that was very interesting and well explained. thank you very much for this!

[impresslover]

I must say that you are very professional with your words and description. The way you spoke explaining the different styles is clear and well done. Awesome job. I really got some great ideas about Retro. Thanks.
