Cher, Brigitte Bardot, Diana Ross, Farrah Fawcett, and Jane Birkin were the icons of bohemian and disco style in the 1970s. Their beauty and fashion looks are still referenced today—just look at recent collections from Chloé, Anna Sui, Dries Van Noten, and others for proof. So what exactly is a bohemian hairstyle, and how do you find the right one for you? Below, experts break down six popular current hairstyles that trace back to ’70s style.

The butterfly haircut

Farrah Fawcett’s layers are still going strong almost fifty years later. According to celebrity hairstylist Guido Palau, the look is easy to achieve at home with the right technique. “Take a hair dryer and run a round brush underneath, then part the bangs so you get that ’70s look,” he says. Not comfortable with a round brush? A blow-dry brush may become your new best friend.

Sabrina Carpenter’s take on the look (called a butterfly cut) has a modern edge. For a less voluminous, shaggy look, leave the layering until just past your bangs at about chin length.

Superlong

Cher has gone through many hair transformations over the years. But to us, she’ll always be the Cher with long, straight black hair from the 1970s, when she was part of The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, which premiered in 1971 and gave us four seasons of unforgettable fashion and beauty moments. More recently, Demi Moore, Naomi Campbell, and Beyoncé have all put their own spin on the timeless style.

Face-framing layers and fringe

Jane Birkin is a forever muse for fans of the boho aesthetic, so it’s no surprise that the hallmarks of her beauty look are often used as inspiration for runway shows. “Birkin bangs”—her signature fringe paired with low-key layering—is the look women continue to want every summer. Make like Daisy Edgar-Jones and curve the face-framing layers away from your face to create body and dimension, or copy Dakota Johnson’s piece-y fringe and add a dab of dry shampoo for fluffy volume.

Curls, curls, curls

Remember, the higher the hair, the more fun on the disco dance floor! Whether it’s your natural texture or curling-iron assisted, these glamorous ’70s-inflected styles look at home on a night out or on the runway.

Bent bob

Twiggy’s iconic pixie cut helped kick-start her career, but the bob she wore in the ’70s signaled a kind of growing up for the British model. Her chin-length haircut was styled with pronounced waves that seemed to hug her cheekbones and jaw.

Across the pond, Diana Ross experimented with a wide variety of hairstyles throughout her career in the ’70s. After an Afro and a pixie cut, she revealed a chin-length bob styled in striking wide waves. A cool update to the classic bob, actor Ayo Edebiri picked up on this retro vibe earlier this year, adding a sweet kiss-curl fringe.

Long curls and waves

Cher is so iconic that she appears twice on this list. In the late ’70s, she sported another equally inspiring cut: a mane of long S-shaped waves. Now stars like Zendaya and Jung Ho-yeon channel the same free, natural energy, and it’s also appeared on the runway. At Chloé, for example, long (someSoft, brushed-out waves were paired with flowing dresses and blouses. The key? Use minimal product so the hair looks voluminous and naturally fluffy.
