We requested skilled stylist, Nicole Cain at Toni & Man Edinburgh, what all of the fuss is about and find out how to recreate the type ourselves.

#9 What makes the Farrah Fawcett flip so iconic?

Apart from the truth that this affords oomf, quantity and attractive texture in spades, the type is fairly easy, says Nicole. “It’s actually a low-maintenance haircut because once the shape is cut into hair, it’s easy to style,” she says. Plus, huge stunning hair is all the time a superb confidence enhance.

#10 What must you ask for within the salon in order for you this reduce?

“The Fawcett flicky bangs and layered cut is a simple cutting technique, called uniform layering, which we still use a lot in the salon today,” says Nicole. “We use this technique to create even layers throughout the haircut,” she provides.

“If your hair is fine, ask for a lightly layered haircut with a blunt bottom to create thickness and volume. For thick hair you’ll want more weight removed to soften the haircut and show off the texture,” says Nicole. To maintain it modern, “you want the layers to blend into the hair with no harsh lines,” she says. For one thing extra rebellious, you possibly can go somewhat extra uneven.

“The perfect face-framing, swoopy bangs should be versatile so they can be worn in any parting. If the Fawcett bang is cut too short, it starts to look more like a full fringe, so be careful with the length,” says Nicole.

And, in the event you’re uncertain about committing to swept bangs, you possibly can trial the type first with some clip in bangs. “They can be cut in for you by your stylist and applied/removed with just a clip,” explains Nicole.

#11 What are your high ideas for styling the ’70s flip at house?

“Always use heat protector before drying or using any hot tools,” says Nicole who recommends Label M Protein Spray (£13.93) which can be utilized on moist or dry hair.

“In the salon, we use a round brush and blow dryer to achieve the Fawcett look. But as a stylist myself even I struggle to blow-dry my own hair at home,” admits Nicole. “Heated rollers were the ultimate hot tool of the ’70s, and are making a comeback,” she says, however for a contemporary replace, “using a hot brush will give you the best results for a ’70s-inspired look. A hot brush dries and styles at the same time and is like having your own personal hairstylist at home. Babyliss Big Hair hot brush (£45) or GHD Rise hot brush (£143.65) are very good.”

And, in the event you’re pushed for time, “the quickest method, if you want results fast, is to curl your hair away from your face more tightly than usual with your straighteners or tong. Leave out your bangs and turn them under you. Flip Your hair back and forward and find your parting. Take a large paddle brush and brush through to break up the ends,” says Nicole.

Final however not least, add quantity. Nicole recommends Label M’s Volumising Texture Spray (£15.50) – “this is both a hairspray and dry shampoo all-in-one,” she says. “It’s a dry spray so it won’t make your hair look wet. Apply it through the roots and ends – this is when you can manipulate your bangs and decide how severe you want your flick to be.”

And bear in mind, “this style is all about movement. So shake your hair and get your fingers in your roots to zhoosh it up and flick that hair!”
