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!

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!

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.

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.
