Trendy Hairstyles Blast From the Past

Today’s most popular hairstyles are history — just flip through the fashion magazines and billboard ads of the past. A few subtle changes separate some of today’s hot looks from yesterday’s been-there hair styles.

Bangs

Straight cut and thick bangs, once out of style, is now a sexy look that only a handful successfully pull off. Passing from geek to chic in the fashion world, the bangs are back and accentuating straight cuts, curls, and other current styles.

Part and Pin

The dramatic side part is back — the classic slightly-beehived seventies style with its long waves and occasional updo. Ornamental pins on either side add a touch of contemporary sophistication to this retro look.

Big Waves

The “poof” hair of the eighties lives on (along with a touch of Farrah Fawcett) in the big and bountiful waves sported today. With the help of rollers, straighteners, and curling irons, thick and wavy hair is once again all the rage.

Corkscrew Curls

Once Shirley Temple’s trademark, corkscrew curls are now sported in sexy styles reminiscient of Katy Perry. Appearing at proms, parties, weddings, and casual occasions, these bouncy, buoyant curls are back in style in a big way.

Hairstyles of the past come alive in today’s chic looks and hot runway scenes — your own favorite look may be straight from the fashion pages of yesterday, keeping alive the fashion trends from the last decade or even the last generation.
