1970s Mens Hairstyles 1

Men’s hairstyles in the 1970s showcased a wide variety of trends, ranging from long, flowing hair to shorter, more refined cuts.

Iconic styles of the era included the shag, featuring layered, tousled hair for a relaxed look; the bowl cut, distinguished by its blunt fringe encircling the head; and the afro, proudly embraced by Black men as a celebration of natural texture and voluminous beauty.

The mullet also rose to prominence, with its signature short hair at the front and long length at the back. Feathered hairstyles, inspired by rock stars, were another favorite, characterized by soft layers and voluminous styling. The decade’s hairstyles reflected individuality and cultural influences, making the 1970s a memorable era for men’s grooming.
