Is The Iconic Big Hair From The 70s Making A Comeback In 2024? We Think So!
Miley Cyrus' big hair inspired by the 70s look at the Grammy has gotten several mixed reactions. Do you think this will make a comeback?
Forget diamonds and designer duds ¨C at the 2024 Grammys, Miley Cyrus' crown jewel was, without a doubt, her BIG hair. Just like a rebellious tower, its teased waves and windswept drama stole the show. But this wasn't just any big hair moment, it was a carefully curated moment of inspiration, channelling icons and eras with a modern, "don't mess with me" twist.
While comparisons to Jane Fonda in "Barbarella" were rampant, Cyrus' hairstylist of 8 years, Bob Recine, set the record straight. Their inspiration for the hair? A "punk, Raquel Welch from the '70s." A more rock 'n' roll royalty with untamed volume and textured waves.
Miley's godmother and singer Dolly Parton's famous mantra, "The higher the hair, the closer to god," seems to have echoed in Cyrus' daring choice.
What were the reactions?
Reactions were diverse. Some hailed it as bold and innovative, and others found it quirky, some even recalled our female Bollywood actors from the 90s and 70s. Regardless of personal opinions, one thing's for sure: it sparked conversations and pointed to the fact that this 70s big hair style might be ready to make a comeback.
I was thrilled to see Miley Cyrus put some effort into her hair unlike a lot of looks? #GRAMMYs #Grammy

As per Diet Sabya, who is considered as India's most feared fashion watch dog on Instagram, big hair is definitely returning. Our Bollywood stars from the 90s and 70s also enjoyed big hair dos back in the day. Looks like that's where the fan inspiration and feelings are coming from.
Remember, Karisma Kapoor in Hero No. 1 and Urmila Matondkar from Rangeela, who made us fall in love with their big hair and fashion.

Always wondered how these stars managed to keep such big hair in place especially during movie shoots. Remembering Madhuri Dixit in Hum Aapke Hai Koun, and how we always wanted a look like hers.

But the origin and credit goes to the 70s fashion. If we look at Indian actors from back then, then the OG of them were - Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore. The big hair and winged eye liner was truly a trend setter.
