It was one of the most intense, revolutionary and at times rebellious decades. A decade marked by revolutions and creative peaks whose reflection has marked fashion, art, and last but not least the world of beauty. Especially the universe hair, studded with hairlooks, cuts, hairstyles, full and fluffy brushing that today would set the trend. From the curtain bang to the explosion of fluffy curls, from cuts stolen from rock icons to smooth Jane Birkin style.
“That of the seventies it was a decade of freedom, of transgression, of political struggles, but also of great creativity in all fields. Years that saw the birth of revolutionary innovations also in fashion and style “he says Alessio Turini, hairstylist and teacher Evos Hairdressers. «The watchwords were imagination and versatilitytwo musts that still remain today because they leave every woman the freedom to interpret herself and her unique, personalized style ».
Style in the seventies
«It ranges between all types of lengths that are declined in voluminous hairstyles, ultra straight and super curly hair (up to afro), also thanks to the looks of many celebs of that period. Starting from Farrah Fawcett, perhaps the most famous head of those years. Voluminous, with soft fluffy waves, the parting in the middle and, a must of the seventies, the long curtain bangs“.

Michael Ochs ArchivesBrigitte Bardot’s French fringe
“The curtain fringe was launched in the sixties by Brigitte Bardot and was called “French style”, slightly open in the center. Today it is back in the spotlight, also thanks to its length that allows it to be moved to the side and worn as a tuft. After all, the fringe was a must of the time: by the rock star Marianne Faithfullwith a long version on long and straight hair, to the short and unstructured one launched by David Bowie with the mullet cut ».

REPORTERS ASSOCIESThe timeless smooth
«Another typical hairstyle of the time is long, straight hair, worn loose and usually with long bangs, often combined with accessories such as bandanas, scarves and headbands. The icons of cinema that made this look immortal are Jane Birkin And Françoise Hardy. Then Ali MacGrow (the Jenny of Love Story), with its boho-chic style with aplomb lengths and parting in the middle. Today his could be defined as a Coachella style ».

«Unforgettable the curly hair from the XXL volume of Diana Ross And Donna Summer still trendy today “.
The cuts of the time that are trendy today
«Definitely the shag cut, which has become iconic thanks to Jane Fonda. Even today it is chosen by many celebs because it not only adapts to all hair, straight and curly, but also because it is very versatile in styling. Among the hot cuts back in fashion then we also find the mullet, and today more than ever cult. The biggest rock stars like David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Patti Smith. With the new Evos SS2022 collection, we have reinterpreted the mullet on one of the coolest cuts of the moment: the Clavicut, from allure gritty that focuses on the fringe. Touching the lashes, it opens at the height of the cheekbones which merge with the length of the rest of the hair, measured in the scales, which reach the height of the collarbones, in fact ».
