This year, the 1970s vibe is everywhere—from fashion and decor to hair. The hippie chic era's signature retro blowout, known as the "Fawcett Flip," is the most sought-after hairstyle for spring 2021.
Drawing inspiration from icon Farrah Fawcett's legendary voluminous blow-dry, this style features wide curls and flipped-up bangs for a face-framing, feature-enhancing effect. The key? Flip the curls outward for that effortless lift and refinement.
Celebrities are leading the charge with modern twists on this retro brushed style. Brie Larson rocks a polished version, Matilda Djerf has made it her signature, and French influencer Clara Berry amps up the volume on long locks.
TikTok is buzzing with tutorials from Gen Z creators recreating this emblematic 1970s hairstyle, sported by Farrah Fawcett, Donna Summer, Catherine Deneuve, Tina Turner, and even Lady Di.
For this boosted-volume flip, grab curlers (or a round brush and dryer for a subtler effect). Curl the face-framing sections outward and upward. Shake your head gently to loosen, mist with hairspray, and you're set with the perfect "Fawcett Flip".
