QuoteReplyTopic: Want opinions about the "Farrah" hairstyle. Posted: November 20 2000 at 5:30am
In the U.K. thyey are running the Farrah Fawcett biography on the biography channel (probably the exact same show that aired in the States, and I watched it because I like her hairstyles-I like the styles that basically were post-"farrah" hairstyles, that were variations on the famous style.
In one part of the biography, they show a clip of her getting out of a car and her hair was very full and mega layered all over. This was I think a few years after she was on "Charlies Angels" and it was layered from the crown to the ends and I think in the back, too. It was long, too, about midback. The style was a lot more layered than the original famous style. It was a short clip but did any poster notice the style and anyway what do you think about a person having this style nowadays? Frankly I don't think today's styles are that great except once in awhile and I think maybe this particular variation on the famous style style, whether in or out, is one of the sexiest styles to wear. What do you think,would a person just look out of date, or could these variations on the famous "farrah" style be considered a timeless classic look for hair? Hopefully someone here has seen the clip that i saw but feel free to post anyway.
I guess it goes without "writing" that I was thinking of getting this style and I used have a version of it when I was teenager. Right now I have long to my hips hair that I wear sometimes layered on the crown only but now trying to grow out the crown except for the bangs. Thanks.

Actually, I kind of liked the very layered "Farrah" hair - I usually prefer short hair. It does lend itself to a sexy appeal. You do have to watch out that it doesn't overpower your face - you don't want to look like a lion. Also, what kind of time will it involve and are you willing to take that time (I don't know what is involved). I am always in favor of changing hairstyles - I think that too many people get stuck in a rut. Whatever you decide, keep us in touch.

Thanks for the opinion. I wore this style in the early eighties, so I know how much time can be involved!:)
If I go through with it, my Husband will pay for a visit to Jose Eber as a birthday present to get the style from the stylist who, while I don't know if he was actually the original creator of the style, he definitely did variations on the look. However, this won't be probably for a little while, but I will keep you posted.

I loved that style. I think the shag has the greatest hair cut of all time. I always take notice of a women in that haircut. No matter if she is big, small fat or thin, there is something speacial about a women in that style.
If your husband is willing to forgo the money on the originator, take him up on it and post pictures.

Personal board? Please! Trying to promote a great hair cut. The more with it the better.
Tom,
We want the women that visit this site to feel like they can share without men hitting on them. I don`t believe that you were intending to do that, but I suppose that it could be read that way.
I don`t want to be a party pooper, but isn`t "Farrah" hair a bit, well, Retro?? I mean, to me it brings back the 70s, otherwise known as "The decade that style forgot". All those layers, was that not a bit excessive? I always thought she looked like someone dragged through a hedge backwards.

It was o.k., Tom, I wasn`t offended. Thanks to Dave but I was o.k. with being asked for pictures. Thanks to Jeff, too. I just don`t post pictures on the net.
Phil, some of those styles worn by women who try for the "Farrah" look really don`t get the look down right. I don`t really want the style she first was famous with, I want the post "Farrah" look (1978?) where it was layered more on the top and even more layered and down to mid back. Yeah, it has many layers and has a lion look, but I want that kind of a look. Thanks for your opinion, I did ask if people thought it was a classic or a dated look. However, I think your thinking of the "poster" look she had. Do you think the style I described is also too dated, or a classic?
Hope I get more opinions!
Thanks, Happyblonde

Yeah, I tried to see the Farrah pics too. I see all the other pics, but not Farrah`s!
PS Happyblonde...I know which look your thinking of, its the really layered look, not just the side wings, right? Its a cool look, especially if you don`t mind the maintenance. Also, you could always wear it up if you wanted to, and leave few pieces down for an easy option. Anyway, I think some of those looks are coming back so YOU would be helping to set a NEW trend so go for it!!
