Women's hairstyles 70s

The 1970s - the era of disco, wild curls, flared pants and shirts with huge lapels. It was an eccentric decade, whose ideas have already been back in fashion several times. And now the clothes in the style of "boho" and "disco", platform shoes, hairstyles - with straight parting, horse tails with a combed top, small curls, "page" and "sessun" are more relevant than ever.

If we talk about hairstyles, fashionable in the West in the 70s, this, of course, straight hair in the style of hippies, fastened with different kinds of feathers, straps, ribbons - at the beginning of the decade. Then the world captured the disco with dancing till you drop, cheerful music, bright outfits, iridescent disco balls, afro hairstyles, prints and flares.

In the USSR, of course, all these trends also came. Fashionable girls of the early 70s wore straight loose hair - with bangs and without. They were combed on the part or laid back, combing the top of the head and fixing the hairstyle with a rim. After the fashion for "boyish" haircuts and "babette" in the 60s, long hair was rare, so their owners were given increased attention.

With the arrival of the disco style (including the Soviet one), the hair began to curl. The Babett returned again, both for a short length and for everyone else. The hair was trimmed with a smooth edge, there were no “ladders” and “cascades” yet. As before, round bangs with straight, hair inside were in fashion. I didn’t give up positions and direct parting: strands were twisted both on large and on small curlers. Owners of curly hair by nature wore a super fashionable hairstyle “afro”.

At the same time, haircuts “page” and “gavrosh”, as well as “sessun” become relevant. All of them require straight strands from their owners, are easy to lay and look very impressive. In addition, the hair “sessun” is universal in the literal sense of the word, as it fits any type of face.

Moreover, the oval of the face can be corrected with the help of this haircut: soften the “square” by the rounded bottom line, trim the “triangle” with the fringe with the elongated sides. The only type of women who do not want to choose this hairstyle is the ladies “in the body”, because the volume and round hairline will add unnecessary smoothness to the face and figure.

In the late 70s, a bleached blond came into fashion. He became incredibly popular, but the hair dyes of that generation (especially brighteners) did great damage to hair, so often the strands lost their attractive appearance and looked burned, dull, or even resembled a sponge. "Burn" hair with a radical lightening was easy, just enough to overdo the composition for a few minutes, but this did not stop beauties who want to become blondes.

Modern compositions for lightening hair are much more gentle, sometimes they do not contain ammonia. However, the radical white (and yellow) blond has long gone out of fashion, giving way to more complex shades.

Hairstyle “sessun” is a haircut “under the cap”, bangs remain long, and the contours must be perfectly smooth.Both the contours and the type of bangs are different in each specific case - taking into account the type of face, but the principle of the haircut does not change - it has many levels and smooth, graduated ends of the hair laid inwards. The length of the "sassun" can vary, going down on the shoulder blades and scattering on the shoulders. Some fashionistas who have chosen this haircut, hair reached the belt.

Haircut "Gavrosh" is like the representatives of both sexes. Maybe asymmetrical and not, classic gavrosh will suit women with a perfect face shape, and for those whose lines are slightly “floating”, it is better to stay on asymmetry. This haircut is very suitable for girls with thin hair, it will visually add volume to them. It is performed on hair of any length. It is well combined with fantasy, bright staining, makes the image bold and bold. "Gavrosh" is, first of all, a cap of hair in the area of ​​the crown. Thus, the required volume is achieved, the crown looks combed.

Pixie haircut was introduced into fashion in the mid-1960s, but did not lose its relevance in the 1970s. For girls with delicate features such a hairstyle can be a real find - it will emphasize the line of the cheekbones and neck, eye shape, beautiful chin, clearly defined lips.

"Pixie" triumphantly returned to fashion several times - each time slightly modified (in the 90s it was a symbiosis with the “grunge” style, in the 2000s - with a romantic one), and now it is experiencing another wave of popularity among Hollywood stars and ordinary women.

The appearance and development of rock music popularized the style of "unisex". Of course, the hairstyles did not stand aside, for example, the fashionable “shag”, which Jane Fonda demonstrated in one of her films, became a role model among both sexes. Further, on the basis of this haircut, other female and male hairstyles appeared - with more ragged and uneven lines, angular, aggressive. They were especially popular with punk and rock music.

“Sessun” is the easiest to put in - just dry your clean hair with a hair dryer and a round brush, directing the ends inwards, and that's it. On short hair in order to give this haircut shape, and the brush is not needed, it will be enough hair dryer. Curl strands can also be with the help of tongs, and on curlers, but the shape of the "sessuna" is so beautiful in itself, that perhaps you do not want. But all sorts of weaving - not for this haircut.

Graduated strands will constantly slip out from under the fingers and will not stay in the braid. In addition, "sessun" is so elegant, sophisticated and refined that any element that introduces negligence will look alien. This haircut is beautiful for its clear lines, without additional decorations.

Laying "Gavrosh" do not need, just dry the hair dryer. Tousling the strands with your fingers and adding mousse or foam, you can create even more volume, but there is no urgent need for this, the haircut is volumetric in itself.

As for the hair of medium length, they will fit boho-styling, and horse's tail. To make a boho hairstyle, it is either combed into a straight parting or tilted back. In the latter case, you can slightly comb the top. Strands need to rattle your fingers, then decorate with a leather head strap or a rim with flowers. If the hair is thick, you can supplement the composition with small pigtails and fix them with beads.

To create a stylish ponytail "a la 70s", you will need forceps to form curls and means for smoothing hair. The entire shock should be carefully combed into a smooth tail, fastened with a reliable rubber band, and in order to avoid the appearance of protruding short hairs, use gel or wax.The ends of the tail must be twisted into curls with forceps and fluffed well. Further, the hair can be decorated with a silk scarf.

There are many options for this styling - you can release one wide strand of hair and wrap the tail with it; You can make a pile at the top of the head, and the tail itself can be lowered to the back of the head, making it low; You can, on the contrary, raise it to the top (this option is called a fountain in children).

Romantic styling was equally popular in the 1970s. Large “waves” of hair, laid in the direction from the face, became a landmark hairstyle for many actresses and pop stars. And since this kind of hairstyle gave femininity to any woman and was universal in terms of relevance, it was possible to appear with her at work and at a holiday - the degree of her demand is difficult to understate.

Only the size of the waves varied - someone chose large ones by twirling hair on a curling hair, someone used hair curlers or heated hair rollers. (those that had to be boiled in a saucepan), and then curls turned out smaller. The resulting shoal (after all, no one will deny that curly hair is always more magnificent than straight) could be divided into a parting and stapled with hairpins or removed under a rim or silk scarf, combed back.
