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.
Yikes. TMI
I like a little French Twist now and again.
(and -- oh yeah -- the hairstyle, too)
Yep. Both.
is it safe to assume you are not in Uraguay?
I rather admire males and their presentation myself. I just think Lake’s hairdo was spectacular compared to some of stuff I’ve seen in the last 30 some years.
Yep. It’s a good look.
just because
Thanks! Aaaah, the Farrah, favored by guys for their girls everywhere. Not that we need proof.
Audrey Hepburn was just so lovely -she ‘made’ that hairstyle. Not many can pull it off.
Aaah, brings back memories. In high school, my sister talked me into getting the Dorothy Hammill cut. Not my best look. I grew it out into a Farrah special, then into the 80’s perms. I also sported the Jackie Kennedy bob as a preschooler.
There - that’s better. ;-)
not my grandma’s day...my great, great grandma’s day...(very long, parted in the middle, pulled up into a bun or a pinned up braid. Haven’t cut it in 12 years)
Not even a trim? Wow. 3 days to dry, I bet. LOL
Gotta run!
I kinda like the Princess Leah look ...
Like these?
Favored by too many hippie types perhaps? LOL. That said, I liked to wear them, too.
Aaah, very cute. Looks best with blonde/blondish hair, imho. But oh the fun she must have had with the hot rollers!
You are sure right about Audrey. One of the world’s great beauties.
Not even a trim.
No, I live in the desert. It dries in an hour or so.
BINGO!!!!.. What great picks.. All fabulously beautiful in their own unique way, all entirely different, all REAL women.. But, I hadn't even noticed, did they have hair, gee whizzzz???.. :)
