Looking for a cool holiday hairstyle? In the 1970's just about every woman wanted Farrah Fawcett's hair. Who knew that in addition to her own thick curly hair, she had extensions! So much effort and tears trying to replicate it on our own. Sigh.

Sharon Durfee only to the movie and modeling industries so average women can feel inadequate!!!!

Yeah, my nanna wore extensions way back in the 50's & 60's.
Sure they've been around a lot longer though 😁

Had hair like her in the 70's my hair was very thick and long, was blonde. Took ages to get it like that lol

Isabelle Moretti I didn't realise they had extensions in the 70's , my hair was long but was really fine so I would have loved them 😏

Kristine McWilliam I don't know if they had extensions in the 70's,my hair was that length lol

I didn’t know that they had extensions available back then. All they sold were the whole head fake wigs to the public . 😃

Anna Kakol Oh yeah. Extensions, "falls" (which went from the front of your head to the back so since I had darker bangs and blonde streaked hair, when I put on a fall Iooked like a real brunette), all sorts of hair additions! :)

I had a fall, also. One night I was in a bar in College and the guy next to me grabbed it and pulled it straight off my head.
Not only did it hurt my head, the guy across the table from me was a VietNam Vet with PTSD and he freaked out so badly, he had to be taken home- felt sorry for him and so mad at the guy who did the deed. He was a real cad!

I was a teenager and I had her hairstyle. I spent hours with the curling iron trying to get that look.

Let me quote one fellow student back in her college years in Texas. "She was so beautiful every one us us guys thought the air smelled sweeter when she walked by and we didn't say a word, just watched hoping she'd smile." No extensions. She was all real.
via Facebook
I had a human hair fall bought at my beauty salon and dyed to match my hair. It attached at the top of my head with a comb and then I combed my top hair over to blend in. That fall was below shoulder length, and from my platinum blonde era.

I believe that may have been in your swinging divorcee days before we met - at The Shack
Oakville, Ct- not Oakdale!

Willam Moran you are mistaken. I never went to the place you suggest and the rest of your comment shows you do not know me well at all.

People tagged in this photo
Ferrah Leni Fawcett was born on February 2nd, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas to Pauline Alice (Evans) Fawcett (1914 - 2005) and James William Fawcett (1917 - 2010) the youngest of two daughters. Her older sister, Diane, became a graphic artist. While at the University of Texas at Austin, she was "discovered". Voted the "most beautiful" in her freshman year, photos were sent to an agent and he spent 2 years encouraging her to move to Hollywood.
Of course, she did move and after shooting that iconic poster (in every boy's room in America) the most famous of her acting roles (after numerous appearances on a variety of tv shows) was on "Charlie's Angels". She was only on the show for one season, but boy did she make a splash!
In the late 1960s, Farrah began dating Lee Majors ("Six Million Dollar Man") and they were legally married from 1973 to 1982. They separated in 1979. For that period of time, she went by the name Farrah Fawcett-Majors.
In 1979, Farrah became involved with Ryan O'Neal, the father of Tatum O'Neal, and they had a son, Redmond James Fawcett O'Neal, in 1985. While their relationship was turbulent and they didn't last as a couple, they were involved off and on for the rest of her life.
Diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, Farrah went through treatment but never fully recovered. After fighting the cancer for about 3 years, she died on June 25, 2009 at age 62 at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California with her partner, Ryan O'Neal and good friend Alana Stewart by her side. She was buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles, next to Rodney Dangerfield.

Hair has been called a woman's "crowning glory" - it's certainly been a mode of expression over the centuries.
In the 1800's, brushing your hair 100 times a day was a popular way to beautify it - but hair was usually washed only once a month. And shampoo wasn't invented until the end of the 1800's. For women, ...

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
