As we brace ourselves for the Oscars on Sunday, there's one film we consider to be a cut above the rest and that's American Hustle. Full disclosure: Our love for the '70s makes us completely biased, but we've fallen in love with the film, from the groovy soundtrack to its coining of the term "science oven." And then there's our obsession with the costumes and makeup - particularly the pivotal hair motif.
We pined for Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) and her magical perm curls, as well as Rosalyn Rosenfeld ( Jennifer Lawrence) and her hair piled on top of her head like some kind Long Island Brigitte Bardot. We even appreciated Richard "Richie" DiMaso ( Bradley Cooper) and his prowess for hand-rolling tiny mini-curls. We were less enamored with Irving Rosenfeld's ( Christian Bale) toupée, but it was a triumph nonetheless.
Since we already have a wealth of '70s-inspired clothing in our closet, we thought the best way we could pay further homage to the film was with our tresses. Here, you'll find the 5 hairstyles we believe best encompass the era, as well as a few of the characters who made them famous. 1. The Foxy Fro
If you're a whole lotta woman. 2.The Farrah Fawcett
Full-on Farrah
3. Modern Farrah
"Modern Farrah Fawcett inspired hair is all about the flick in the front, not about flicks all over as she wore it in the '70s. The rest of the hair can almost do whatever it wants," explains hairstylist Sam McKnight.
4. The Felicity Shagwell
It's lost on us how there isn't a single Felicity Shagwell hair how-to on the internetz (it's giving us ideas), but essentially it comes down to some Lana Del Rey-esque teasing and a twisted, braided poof. See below:
5. The Bo Derek:
RESPECT if you're bold enough to take on this look, but unless you're some kind of cornrow wizard, we suggest leaving it to the professionals. If stubborn, see below:
6. The Petra Collins
Collins may be a millenial, but she has the '70s look down. We don't see her as the kind of girl who sets her hair every morning and considering that she's a fan of au natural hair, this might be a case of painfully envy-inducing good hair genes. Still, it's nothing you can't emulate with rollers and hair fluffing.
