So, if you’re a sucker for all things vintage and want to know which ‘70s hair trends you should be keeping a look out for here’s your guide:

The Shag

When it comes to ’70s hairstyles, the shag hairstyle is one the most popular looks being sported by your favourite stars. Made famous by rock icons such as Joan Jett and Susie Quattro the shag is probably the most adaptable of all styles.
