7 Ways to Wear the Perfect 70s Retro Feathered Hairstyle

We've got 70s feathered hair fever and it's highly contagious.

We are happy to welcome back 70s retro feathered hair into our daily styling inspo. Feathered hair was an iconic style during the 70s and could be seen on the big screen, the runway, and everywhere in between. While back then it may have been overly feathered for one head, it has gracefully matured and come back looking modern and refreshed.

This is a great hairstyle for women who love keeping their locks on the longer side but want a more mature and somewhat moodier look.
