Seventies Hairstyles
The popular 70’s hairstyles get Buffy-fied.
Popular 70’s hairstyles were widely acknowledged even in the nineties and even today. I was watching my copy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer again when I realized the impact that decade had on hairstyles. Even Buffy sported the look.
The hairstyles of the 70’s were all about being natural. Women let down their hair, let it grow long and straight. When Sarah Michelle Gellar first appeared as Buffy, she was sporting a very stylish hairstyle that fit the cheerleader more than the slayer. But as time went by and as she began to accept her destiny, the simpler her hairstyles became. It wasn’t usual to see Buffy fight with her hair down, flowing with every move she made. It was only right, I thought; after all, would the world’s only hope against demons have time for the salon? Buffy would surely answer that she would love to if only Evil would give her at least an hour to get her hair done.
The 70’s hairstyles are back… by popular demand?
Nowadays, we have tons of salons and ways to style our hair. After all, not all of us are Buffy and not all of us can face the world with our hair down—and still look stylish while doing so. This, however costs a lot. My suggestion? If you can’t achieve the Buffy-has-her-hair-down look, why not try the Buffy-has-her-hair-tied-in-a-ponytail look? That would be a neat and easy way to keep your hair in place while you tackle the world. There are a lot of popular 70’s hairstyles to choose from; try to see what fits you best.
