The 70’s was truly a decade that brought many historical and radical changes. Without this period, the world would not be as it is now from fashion to music. This was the period that surfaced rock and disco. It was a great time for radicals.
It was the decade introduced to the world hairstyles that still make us nostalgic to this date.
There were many hairstyles that made their mark during the 70’s. The following female hair icons and their signature hairstyles still do not fail to induce a giggle and a sigh to those who come to love the vintage strands.

DEBBIE HARRY
Short and blond. This became the signature hairstyle of many female punk rock artists and their followers. No thanks to Debbie Harry, the girl who rocked the world with her band, Blondie.
