Saturday Night Nostalgia: Hairstyles from the 60s and 70s

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. We had many style icons in the 60s and 70s, and so tonight in Saturday Night Nostalgia, we look back at the best hairstyles from the 60s and 70s!

Mia Farrow

Known for her films and her marriage to Frank Sinatra, Mia’s short hairstyle was an instant hit when it was revealed for 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, no less when Jackie Kennedy had one.

The Beatles

The Fab Four had shaggy mops that are still around today!

Bewitched

It has been recreated since but this quintessential 70s hairstyle belongs to Samantha.

Twiggy

60s 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, for the better.

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

Olivia Newton-John

Innocent and sweet Olivia made this cut half-up, half-down style a trend which still exists today.

Meryl Streep

Hollywood royalty Meryl had the 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!
