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.

LOL. I knew her picture would make this thread, just didn’t think it would take over 100 posts for it to show up.
To: fortunecookie
I loved the unmovable perm thing in the 80’s. You could fix your hair once a day and never have to touch it again.

Did you do your hair like this when you were in the
Laugh In show in February? (I can just picture it...)

My version of the Farrah I had the Marcia Brady look in the 70s. Long, straight, parted in the middle.
Girls tended to have either the Farrah or the Marcia look in those days.

I sure did!
I curled my hair with a HUGE curling iron, put it up in the head-top ponytail (a look described by our buddy Mike as the Pineapple), and then bobby-pinned the hell out of it to make the big can-curls. Then I lacquered my head with Aqua-Net.
It felt precarious, but it looked great!
