Top 7 Women's Hairstyles of All Time
PA News and Observer | 4/25/07 | Pissant Sasoon

Posted on 04/25/2007 7:31:26 PM PDT by pissant

Straigtened, flat, messy and spiky. What a load. Hollywood types today spend almost as much as John Edwards on their hairdos, only to have them look purposely tussled as if they just rolled out of bed. No style, nothing to complement them. Granted, long gorgeous hair is nice anytime----if its combed. But the gals I grew up watching on the tube or in some cases, dating, at least took the time to try to be pleasing to the eye.

Enough grumbling. Here are the top 7 sexiest styles of recent decades, in no particular order.

7. The Farrah look. Feathered, thick, and nice to sink your paws into. A late 70s phenom.

6. The Farrah Plus. Bigger, better and fluffier. best exemplified by Stephanie Powers and my 10th grade girlfriend.

5. 1980s "every hair in place" Perm. Even the wind did not effect this style.

4. The bob. Not the modified, modern, messy pseudo bob, but the real thing. Neat and short.

3. Updo. Not just for special occasions. Hot all the time. With infinite variations of the theme.

2. Boy cut. Also worn most exquisitely by one of the greatest all time beauties, Audrey Hepburn.

1. The Flip. Laura Petrie and Emma Peel. No more needs to be said.

They missed the “pixie” which my hairdresser told me was coming back this summer.

And the pponytail,,probably one of the most popular ever.

“They” is me. LOL. I love short hair on gals, but not the pixie, at least as I remembered it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....or something like that. $400 goes a long way.

When you spend 3 times as much as your wife, you know you got problems.

If I could look like Audrey Hepburn I’d cut all my hair off too. Gosh, she was beautiful.

Or for that matter, Veronica Lake herself. Zoinks. Lauren Bacall also wore her hair that way for a while.

I saw some pics of Marge on a certain website once...let me just say that, well, her blue hair is natural...in other words, the carpet matches the drapes.
