Eternally Cool 70s Hairstyles & Tips To Style Them

By A Mystery Man Writer

Diana Ross
Otherwise known as The Boss, the former Supreme rocked a multitude of looks throughout the era. We're especially captivated by the curls in this photo, which could evolve into a good hair day for over a week. You could go up to 10 full days without messing with it, he says. The style would just evolve as the curls loosened and the shape evolved every day. A style that actually gets better over a week? Sold.
Jerry Hall
The Texan supermodel has a legendary mane — to say the least. She was famous for never cutting layers into her hair, says Josh. Yep, folks, that shape is all just regular end trims, no advanced techniques necessary. Let us feast upon its magnificent glow.
Farrah Fawcett
Here it is: The '70s style that launched a million posters and inspired a decade (decades?) of copycats. The Charlie's Angels star's flipped-out style was made even more marvellous by her own natural texture. Her hair was actually curly, and the look was achieved by this very thick, layered cut coupled with blowing and curling her hair away from her face, says Josh.
Cher
The TV singing-and-comedy sensation's hair was famously achieved by rather drastic measures. She used to actually iron her hair on an ironing board to get it that straight and smooth, Josh says. Fortunately, we now have actual flat irons for that — but talk about dedication.
Pam Grier
One of the most influential actresses of her time, the '70s action star brought Black Power to the cinema and further punctuated women's claim to their own unrelaxed, natural beauty. Right on.
Bianca Jagger
Bianca Jagger, the Nicaraguan beauty-turned-jet-setting style icon, remained famous long after her famous Stone (Mick, of course) had rolled on. The woman rode into her Studio 54 birthday party on a white horse like Lady Godiva, for disco's sake. We still want to be her.
Donna Summer
The disco queen had hair for days — and the original Bad Girl owes her gorgeous mane to layers of nighttime-lovin' lift. Curly girls can add lots of layers around their face to get this style, so the curls stack in a different way [rather] than just straight out or vertically, advises Josh.
