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.
I loved the elaborate upswept hairdos of women guest stars on the original Star Trek series.
LOL! I was thinking of making an appointment to cut my hair and I just now came to FR after doing a websearch on hairstyles! Are you channeling my thoughts, pissant?
Alas, I’ve seen no ideas I like on the web and I’ve definitely seen none in this thread so far.
One my favorite guitarists comes to mind.
Yuck, those are awful except Farrah. Long hair (on women) is always sexy to me, never goes out of style.
I’m so jealous of your mullet, Pissy. :P
All three were great in many ways...besides their hair. I am still a big fan!!!
Guess who's on the left?
None of them can hold that candle to long, straight and black or occasionally long, straight and blond. Short hair on a young woman is a turn-off for me. The heavily “done” hair is just a waste of time and effort.
I'll take a wild guess and say John Travolta.
Hint: The hands are a dead give away.
The bowl cut! :-)
how did I know Audrey Hepburn would be on this list ?
Talk about classics! So timeless, two of my 20-something kids have her picture on their walls
LOL. The danish rolls for ears look.
Permed, if I recall.
In Idaho?
$400 for that?
