Here are some pictures of hairstyles with awesome names that I scanned from one of my 1970s Ebony magazines. These are from an ad for hair products, not from an article. All good haircuts should have an equally good name.

Man, do I miss the 70′s.
The cars, the movies, the toys, the hair… and the women.
Hmmm… is it just me or do they all look the same?
They only look the same cause you’re a racist!
There are subtle differences that the trained hairstyle enthusiast will note right away. The ‘Fro and The Sportsman are however very similar.
Don’t forget that the facial hair configurations play into the complete ‘look’.
I hate people like XuYu.
Next time I get a haircut, I’m asking for “the Suave”!
Oh give me a break, they all do look the same! Only hypersensitive retards would see anything racially motivated in that statement.
i hate people like Broomcup.
It’s just awesome how they all built up to Richard Roundtree on the bottom as “The Private Eye”! I guess it would have been too complicated to ask your barber for “The Black Private Dick That’s A Sex Machine With All The Chicks.”
You will get punched in the uterus.

Very timely indeed.
@ Broomcup and oh man: Hello? Someone isn’t skilled enough to see the differences of thirty years old afroamerican hairstyles and that makes him a racist?
Come on! That’s bullshit. Let me guess, just because I can’t distinguis the songs of two rappers from each other I’m a racist, too, right?
Wrong. I just don’t like rap music.
But the hairstyles are cool.
perche` parli italiano su un website inglese?!!!!
The last one is Shaft?!!
70′s boobs were different…I can’t explain it…they just were.
Broomcup, how stupid can one single being be? Calling someone a racist because not being able to distinguish similar looking haircuts? Was he taking about the looks of the people or their hair?
You are getting 10 out out of 10 points on the “dumb ass scale” for being biased and for sure not without prejudice.
In my opinion someone prematurely acusing another one being a racist by false observations and interpretations is worse than a racist.
So what’s the deal. They couldn’t cut in straight lines back in the seventies? Was the shape up invented in the eighties? I don’t know how they cut a perfect sphere of hair and then fuck up the lines.
I love “the executive” the most!
I like how “The Duke” appears to have a lazy eye.
The ‘fro appears to have pointy area at the back of the do, but I think that is because the man has a pointier head than the Sportsman.
XuYu, they do like very very similar..
glad to see Richard “Shaft” Roundtree getting the biggest pic.. but where’s the moustache?
I think Xu Yu was talking about the haircuts not the people, and they do look the same to the untrained eye, it’s not racism at all, jesus.
I think one guy was making the obvious joke, and then the other guy made the obvious follow-up joke, and then guy #1 got all bent out of shape and sometimes the internet is so stupid, but mostly, MOSTLY, in the comments section.
Those photos are rad, however.
OK, OK, I think all the racism-related comments are overblown. It seemed to me that XuYu was indeed talking about the haristyles (not the people), many of which (the hairstyles of course) do look remarkably similar, which I think is part of the humor to be found in this old 70s hairstyle advertisement. It also seemed to me that Broomcup was making a joke, being fecetious or whatever. I thought it was funny Broomcup. Jeez people.
its funny how ‘the flattop’ of the 70′s is so radically different from the flattop of the late 80′s. i hope the flattop comes back in the 21st century in a new and exciting variant.
I think phil is right- I think Broomcup was being sarcastic with that initial comment and hasn’t come back to the forum to defend his sarcasm.
Arguing with someone over the internet is like winning at the Special Olympics. After everything is said and done your still a retard!
Pantera, qué afro, acá en Soldati llega a aparecer un puto de estos y lo embocamo entre todos, qué son, basquebolista?
Well, I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who thought the majority look like the same damn overgrown haircut. Subtle differences?!?! I wouldn’t assume that is the haircut, I would just assume it is the head shape and grooming of the individual. The Professional looks like The Duke. The Prince looks like The Executive and The Jetsetter. The Flattop looks like a messier version of the same thing (and is not flat, btw). The Suave is the same thing with long sideburns. The Blowup is a Fro but a little bigger or just more picked out??? The Sportsman looks exactly like a Fro but the dude grooms it better. The Natural somehow looks like a white guy. The Perfecto is obviously quite different due to the part-shave. The Private Eye is also more unique in that it is the shortest one there. So, most of them do like quite a bit similar and they all look ridiculous (just my opinion). Much prefer close-cut or shaved head look.
Ooooh. Funky!
Allll-Riiiiight!
Um, maybe it’s me, but I think the people saying ‘racist’ were just joking around.
Cool man Cool
My balls itch.
Not a great decade for hair. But the 80s was even better.
If I could just tease my pubic hair into something like The Duke…. THAT would be a party.
Actually, the first thing that came to mind was, Hey, they all look alike….like a freakin’ chia pet. Dig?
With the exception of The Perfecto, I would have called them all “fros”, They DO all look alike!
They All Look The Same To Me (nearly cit.)
Private Eye model is Richard Roundtree, right?
Never mind. Johnnyneill called it first.
So it’s agreed then, all black people look the same, it’s just their haircuts which are different.
Now that is sorted, we can close the internet.
Reply to post 19. The reason the boobs were different is that they were real.
I’m gonna smack all you honkies! …jive ass turkeys.
i especially love the seventies screenprintings of colored-in-photos look
I’m a racist too than because they all look the same!
Wow. I found this post via another blog. I was going to leave a comment about the good ole ’70′s, but you knuckleheads ruined it…
Gotta love the form of the 70′s fro!
Those aren’t hair styles, they’re characters from the black version of “Clue”
Im looking for the SHAFT Hair doo.. wheres that?
why dont you have webster in there? are you guys racists about short people?
I’ve never seen so much pubic hair on someone’s head before!
My left one is twice as big as my right one.
I can tell the minor differences, but the major difference I’m noticing with the “new natural” style seems to be that it appears to be worn by an Indian guy. He doesn’t really seem to fit in.
To me all “cuts” look just great and I’d really would go back to that time – missing the 70′s!!!
broomcup is right! unfortunately he or she is a racist too. you are all racists. not at least because you see any differences.
Is it just me or does “New Natural” look like a doofy white guy?
“I hear that Richard Roundtree is on baaaad motherfu..”
“SHUT YO MOUTH!”
“I hear that Richard Roundtree is one baaaad motherfu..”
“SHUT YO MOUTH!”
good day folks.
i`d like to post the url again.:

because the media is washing them US citizens them brains. i will never forget the boston paranoia show same days ago. even them blind-ones were able to get an idea of the system in the USA.
it is paranoia and fear wich controls them citizens.this protects the system and its leaders in the USA and other countries.
“hope the flattop comes back in the 21st century in a new and exciting variant.”
I would love to bring back the flattop, but I’m white!
yeah, most I miss of the 70′s is that there was no HIV
Hey you guys are morons. clearly broomcup was making a clever joke and it went right over all of your heads because you are actually concerned that you might be a racist. Hence the defensive attitudes.
There was most definitely HIV and AIDS in the 70s… that’s like saying I really anjoyed the nineties because there were no big prescription pill addictions like there are today.
My janitor was “The Duke” back in Elem. school. Also, it could be argued that Samuel L. Jackson in “Pulp Fiction” was rockin’ “The Professional.”
is it just me but they all seem very greasy
and them 70′s boobs were diferent because the tipe of bras they wore it shapes the boobs in a different form
My opinion is that the hair afficionados notice and appreciate the differences; the ones who don’t, don’t. What’s wrong with that? I happen to prefer hair, and well managed hair at that. . . so I notice. It’s retarded that the discussion even started. There’s ongoing oppression, slavery, poverty, etc. . . .and mutha*bleeps* are seriously having a ‘debate’ about hairstyles? C’mon y’all.
That guy with the hip shades at my local post office has “The Professional”. I always wanted to know its name but was afraid to ask.
I like the flattop best too, but mostly because the man is handsome. The new natural reminds me of Johnny Mathis. On the private eye photo, most men look like idiots with mustaches, but Richard Roundtree is much more attractive with it.
All the photos looks like Ophah!!!
Con mas o menos pelo son casi identicos
Ta bien para nostalgicos
CULUNGUELE!!
Nice! Now may we please get a similar gallery for shaved pussies? “The Tiger”, “Little Miss Kitty”, “Galore”, “The Stripped Miau” and so on? Shaved cats are really interesting!
(Shaved beavers would do as well, even though people may not get the humor in it!)
I love that hairstyles, it’s a shame my hair is so striaght.
And by the way… you oughta recognize that some of them are very similar.
Iliana a ti te gusta el carallo de mandingo cosa mala

Man you are one uneducated kid, so you mean it’s the same person, but they’re doing all they can to make them look different… that is one of the most stupid comments ive ever seen. Maybe if you spend long enough then you will realise that the men are different shades, have different faces. Also someone else said all black people look the same, you ignorant loser. I’m white and i can tell the difference between black people just like any other two white people, you lot who think that are just so narrow minded and uneducated.
On a more relevant note to the actual post. Don’t you love the way the Private Eye is looking lol looks funny too me.
I figure myself for the sportsman.
go to hell – all of you!
The jetsetter is clearly a toupee on a bald dude!
why would anybody care ?
Yea, it was a joke. You are all too defensive to being called a racist.

Broomcup, I should explain for other people’s benefit that your father was a serial paedophile, and that, due to your broken family background, you now prefer sex with animals, so it is difficult for you to engage in normal, sensible communication.
So now everyone will understand. Or they could think this is just a joke. Which it is. Isn’t it funny Broomcup, making spurious insults?
To me… the hairstyles look really weird…
Dude… that last guy is SO Richard Roundtree!!
why r all u losers at a 70′s hairstyle website? freaks! im doing a history project on a decade and we chose the 7o’s
seriously ur dumb
hola
chao
what is wrong with you people ….do you not have anything better to do then talk shit. go get a job or something stop wasting your life away …. lolll,
I agree with Bum Fashion, essentially they are all the same with some minor differences that may stand out more or less depending on who is sporting the fro. Nevertheless, a interesting look back at the good ol days, black or white!
Memories. Thanks for posting this.
“Jojo” at #50 would be correct to refer to all the
styles as “afros”. They are, indeed, all afros;
just different versions of afros. The “flat-top”
is noticeably a little less round on top than
the others. I do not like the flat-top myself.
It looks as if someone dropped something on his
head.
THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME BRO LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
sooo gay put suminc different on there will ya they r all the same
THINGS WERE WAY DIFFERENT BACK THEN.
THESE HAIR STYLES WERE THE HIT.
I ENJOY SEEING STUFF LIKE THIS TO SHOW HOW THE PLAYAS DID IT!! (LOL)
This is the lick. I wish we could rock hairstyles like this now a days.
wow…
Man those where hairstyles!, i have some black friends and i always tell them what’s up with the shaved head? today everybody looks the same!
I’m old ‘white trash’, or what do you say? Cracker. I had a huge fro back in the 70′s – naturally kinky hair (no perm), even though I guess I’m white. (“I’m not white, I just don’t have as much color as some folks.”)
Anyway, I always thought of there being mainly 2 afro styles: the fro, and the bush (when it was so big it was down on your shoulders). I always wanted a bush, but never quite got it there – old fashioned Bible College where I was attending, mostly. (They rained on me.)
Great memories, all around.
Like all young people, I thought I could change the world. Wanted a world free of racial prejudice….
Old Southerner Cracker
thanks, man!
The Hair styles do all look the same except 2 are longer and “New NAtural” Isn’t “Natural” the guy used relaxer to make his hair look less “Afro/Black”
The “Look the same ” comments were meant about the hair not the people , but the funny thing is now that- that has been clarified , to be honest those guys do look the same as each other !

what the hell is going on??
