The ’70s were about change. A move away from stiff styles and attitudes of the past, a time to embrace creativity and fluidity—and hair was no exception. This cut from Alfaparf Milano takes those ’70s influences and reinterprets them to create a long-hair look that is soft, bouncy and juxtaposed with strong, structured bangs. Click though to learn how to do the cut, and see two different ways to style it! See Alfaparf Milano’s The ’70s Collection! (more…)
