earning to recapture the
look of the past? Why not
start with a retro hairdo
from the '60s and '70s — an
updated '90s version, of course.
The look is familiar but different.
Remember Brigitte Bardot's upsweep,
Annette Funicello's flip, or Audrey
Hepburn's classic styles? Today's
hairstyles are more casual, looser and
shinier than those of the '60s and
'70s.
Clothing styles have long dictated
what hairstyles will be. Now clothing
is softer and flowing, and hair is more
feminine. Fringed edges and razor
cutting achieve the soft, casual look.
A single haircut can be varied in a
surprising number of ways by using
the new gels, laminates, mousses and
perms. Hair can be slicked back,
pulled up into a soft French twist, or
left loose with the ends flipped up.
Hair has become as much of an ac-
cessory as a piece of jewelry or a pair
of boots, evoking different moods for
women.
Wigs, falls or hair enhancers, once
popular in the '60s and '70s, are back

night when they're feeling wild, not
to cover up untidy hair. Falls, held in
place by wide headbands and long
ponytails, give movie star glamour to
any evening suit or cocktail dress.
Headbands are another example of
retro hair styles. The wide, stretchy
headbands popular in the '60s are
back with panache. They've been
seen everywhere. Women are wear-
ing headbands with their hair pushed
off their faces, exposing their fore-
heads. Some fashion mavens are
combining two headbands or making
their own headband from a scarf.
Long, flat bangs can be used with
any style or cut. As attention focuses
on groomed, healthy, conditioned
hair, the part, placed to the side or
directly in the center, is making a
comeback.
