The 60s and 70s hairstyles everyone wanted

Hair has always and will always be one of our most defining features – a great head of hair can frame a face and turn someone from bland to beautiful instantly.

And some of the best looks came from the 60s and 70s, as these pictures show.

Mia Farrow

Known as much for her films as her marriages to Frank Sinatra and Woody Allen, Mia’s pixie cut was an instant hit when it was revealed for the film Rosemary’s Baby.

Dusty Springfield

The beehive is an iconic hairstyle and Dusty Springfield presented it perfectly – she had such amazing hair!

Jackie Kennedy

The pillbox bob was an icon of the 60s, and Jackie Kennedy was the best-known model of the ‘do.

The Beatles

The Fab Four’s shaggy mops are still popular today!

Bewitched

Elizabeth Montgomery’s neatly set and backcombed style has been recreated plenty of times but this quintessential 70s hairstyle belongs to Samantha.

Twiggy

British model Twiggy was a doe-eyed beauty but she also had fabulous locks. This style launched a cutting frenzy in the UK and marked the beginning of the Mod era.

Goldie Hawn

Goldie Hawn has beautiful long hair nowadays but in the 60s she had a pageboy cut that changed her look, some think for the better.

Janis Joplin

Long hair was all the rage in the late 60s and Janis Joplin had wild, untamed tresses.

Debbie Harry

She was so cool and this hair style, combined with a peroxide blonde colour, really screamed rock chick.

Donna Summer

Disco queen Donna had full-bodied, sexy locks that we all tried to emulate, mostly with little success!

Olivia Newton-John

Innocent and sweet Sandy made this half-up, half-down style a trend that still exists today.

Meryl Streep

Hollywood royalty Meryl had the dramatic side sweep nailed.

Joni Mitchell

Fringes weren’t always fashionable but Joni Mitchell showed that they could be.

Farrah Fawcett

Farrah’s flicked out hair is arguably the most popular style of the 70s and it’s no surprise why!
