The 1970s were a loud decade for fashion, especially regarding women’s hairstyles. Stars like Farrah Fawcett popularized huge blowouts with long, wavy hair to frame their face. It can be difficult to pull off a blowout, but there’s no denying it works well for many women. Like all fashion trends, blowouts gradually became less popular, and now many people look back on the trend and shake their heads.
But don’t listen to the naysayers: A 1970s blowout still works in 2023. We’ve seen celebrities embrace the ’70s blowout style while adding some modern touches, and there’s no reason not to get a blowout if you want it.
The trick to pulling off a ’70s-style blowout is to see a stylist who knows what tools and products are necessary to give you the look you want. But if you’re feeling brave and want to attempt to give yourself a ’70s blowout, here’s what you do:
Your shampoo and conditioning routine – A solid shampoo and conditioning routine is essential to achieving that perfect ’70s blowout. Make sure whatever products you use address any issues with volume or frizziness that could dampen a blowout.
Preparing your hair – Make sure you remove any excess moisture from your hair before detangling it or using a blow dryer. If you don’t do this step, you could damage your hair during the blowout process. Excess moisture can also cause hair frizz and ruin a blowout.
Apply a heat protectant – You don’t want to damage your hair when you’re using your blow dryer. Once you’re through with your shampoo and conditioning routine and you’ve removed the excess moisture from your hair, it’s time to apply a heat protectant. Heat protectant sprays seal hair cuticles (the outer protective layer around each hair) to prevent damage when blow drying. When applying a heat protectant spray, try to separate the strands that frame your face from the rest of your hair.
Blow drying – Now that you’ve protected your hair from heat damage, grab a blow dryer and get to work. If possible, use a blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle to better control the airflow as you’re drying. If you have any natural curls in your hair, blow dry them straight before styling to get that authentic ’70s look.
Styling – Once your hair is about 60-70 percent dry, it’s time to grab a round hairbrush and create those bouncy, cascading curls that define a ’70s blowout. Separate your hair into good-sized strands, then start at the root of your hair and wrap a strand around your brush. Keep the concentrator nozzle on your blow dryer angled down, and don’t remove the brush from the strand until it’s dry and cool. Have the brush bend away from your face when drying the front strands and flip it back up with the rear strands. Those with fine hair should use medium to low heat when drying, while those with curls or coils might need to use high heat to make strands smooth.
Finishing up – After the curls have set, apply a volumizing spray to the roots of your hair and comb through the strands again to complete the blowout look. You can use finishing cream or oil to smooth out the ends of your curls. Flip your hair over and give it a quick shake for some added volume if you want, then apply some hairspray to set everything in place.
Once you’ve finished the process, and after everyone’s marveled at your voluminous curls, when you’re home again, you can use rollers to keep those curls in place. You can also use an iron to redo the ends of your strands and give them that ’70s twist.

If you’re going to say “I do” to your partner at the beach this summer, you want to look your best. Your hairstyle is a crucial element of your wedding look, and not all hairdos are right for the summer heat or a day at the beach. You need a style that enhances your look, won’t cause you to overheat, and will stand up to intense breezes and humid beach weather.
The good news is you don’t have to figure out what hairstyle is best for a summer wedding because the stylists at Therapy Hair Studio have done the work for you. We’ve helped many brides and bridesmaids find their ideal wedding hairstyle, and here are six of our favorite styles for summer beach weddings:
Flower crown accent – If the wind at the beach is strong enough, no amount of hairspray will keep your look intact while you wait to say, “I do.” Flower crowns are a smart, elegant style for a beach wedding because the crown keeps your hair in place. If you’re still worried about the wind, you can use a flower crown to camouflage additional pins in your hair. Finally, flowers add color to your overall look and fit many different hairstyles. As for which flowers to choose, you can use the same flowers from your wedding bouquets or other flowers that complement your dress or the bridesmaids’ dresses.
Traditional ponytail – It’s hard to go wrong with a classic ponytail, and this style is well suited to beach weddings. Having your hair up can help you stay cool during the ceremony and avoid issues with your makeup running. A ponytail is also a good choice if your wedding has more of a relaxed, informal feel. On the other hand, an elegant hairpin or a hairpiece added to your ponytail is a fun way to add glamor to your look.
Tousled waves – Why not have your hair reflect the setting of your wedding? When done correctly, putting waves in your hair perfectly complements beach scenery and can show off your highlights. This look is generally suited to more informal weddings where a bride can let the wind give her hair a more relaxed, natural look. If you’ve got medium-length or long hair, the tousled wave look is an excellent choice for a beach wedding.
Classic chignon – The chignon bun is a timeless wedding hairstyle ideally suited for the beach. The bun in the back keeps everything in place if the wind kicks up, and you can tease your hair out in the front to frame your face. The chignon style works well with veils, flower crowns, scarves, and other accents if you want a more formal or glamorous look.
Headbands – Looking to stand out and make a statement at the beach with short hair? Rock a headband! For one thing, headbands do a fantastic job of keeping your hair in place regardless of the weather. Additionally, a headband presents an ideal opportunity to add color or flash to your style. Pearl headbands offer a classic, refined look for a beach bride, or you can use a band with colorful beads that resemble pebbles in the sand. Either way, you have a look that’s fabulous and functional.
Pixie cut – Short hair is easier to manage at the beach because it requires less work to hold in place. The pixie cut is an elegant, simple style for brides or bridesmaids with short hair. It frames your face and lets you wear your hair without much product, if that’s your preference. Using a hairband, flower crown, beaded chain, scarf, or another accessory with a pixie cut adds a little flair to your style while showing off your beauty.

Few things in life inspire pure terror like a bad haircut does. Your hair is an essential, inescapable part of your style, and botched haircuts are difficult to hide. You might get away with using a hat or elegant scarf to cover an awkward haircut, at least in the short term, but you will still have to look yourself in the mirror every day.
The most important thing to remember if you get a botched haircut is not to panic. At Therapy Hair Studio, we know how unpleasant a bad haircut can be and want to make you look your best. Our highly trained and experienced stylists have many tricks for fixing a botched cut so you can regain your confidence and show off your hair with pride. We’ve included some of our techniques for fixing a botched haircut below, and you can visit our contact page to schedule an appointment.
Tips for Fixing a Botched Haircut
Some techniques we use to fix a bungled haircut include:
Hair extensions – If a stylist cuts your hair too short and you’re not satisfied with your new look, hair extensions are an effective way to conceal a botched cut. When properly added, extensions look close enough to your normal hair that most people won’t notice the difference. You can also use hair extensions to experiment with your style while you wait for your hair to grow back. Try using extensions to play with your hair’s volume, highlights, or length until you find a look you like. Clip-in extensions are a great short-term solution for a botched cut, or you can use tape-in extensions or nano-ring extensions if you don’t want to bother redoing your clip-in extensions every day.
Braids or buns – Fixing a haircut can be challenging if you typically wear your hair loose or down, but braids or buns can help conceal a botched cut. Braids and buns help disguise a bad haircut by drawing attention away from the areas of your hair you don’t like. There are all sorts of braid and bun styles you can use, from French braids and crowns to top knot buns or low buns. You can also mix and match braids with buns to create a stunning new look.
A new hairstyle – If you haven’t tried a new hairdo in a while, a botched cut is an opportunity for you and your stylist to find a different look. If you usually wear your hair long, a pixie cut, shag cut, or another style for short hair makes a statement while still looking beautiful. Those with typically shorter hair can add extensions, clip-in bangs, or other techniques to add volume and length, making it easier to hide a botched haircut.
Hair accessories – One of the best ways to disguise a botched haircut is to draw the eye to a fun or flashy hair accessory. Headbands, barrettes, clips, scarves, bandanas, and other accessories add flair and color to your look while covering up or camouflaging a bad haircut. Accessories with jewels, lots of color, or other eye-catching elements are a particularly effective way to draw people’s eyes away from the areas of your hair you don’t like.
Hair products – You’d be surprised how well the right hair products can clean up a botched cut. Depending on your style and situation, you can add waves, texture, highlights, or volume to your hair and hide a bungled haircut.
Wigs – If all else fails, a wig can completely hide a botched haircut. The fun thing about wigs is that there are so many styles to choose from, and you don’t have to wear a wig that mimics your typical style. Why not try a wig with a different look, length, or color from what you usually wear? You might end up liking your temporary style so much that you keep it once your hair regrows.
