1969—Modern Bouffant
Towards the end of the 60s, we saw a resurgence of a hairstyle that had been popular at the beginning of the decade.
That’s right, 1969 saw the return of the bouffant—but with a twist! This later “modern bouffant” had all the size and style of the earlier version, but with a bit more of a toned-down sleekness to it.
Here we can see actress and singer Diahann Carroll rocking the iconic look. That year, Carroll won an Emmy Award for her work on the TV series Julia.
1970—Long With a Center Part
The 1960s were a tough act to follow, no doubt about it. But the following decade would certainly hold its own in terms of style, and making its own reputation as an era of hedonism and decadence.
And the beginning of the decade saw hairstyles slide into something a bit more extreme, with this super-long and straight style, with a perfectly split center part.
Here we can see Love Story Ali MacGraw kicking off the starry seventies with this perfect example of the iconic look.
