Excellent conversation Daffy and Howard guys! ;)
Anyway...
Yes,(straight) long hair was the top notch hairstyle of the 70s until punk came indeed.And that style is that most recognised one amongst many others.Just look at this:

Hair styles in the 70's were sexy.

Respectfully, straight hair was really only in the 1st part of the decade. By the disco era hardly any1 was wearing just straight hair - look at the 1st website link. There are plenty waves and curls in there, and those are the latter era. (You can also tell by make-up - overdone heavy eyeliner and fake lashes on the straight hairs - all leftover from the '60s.) And I'm talking real life, not just the elites in entertainment.
I gather the so-called "big hair" (at least, what every1 seems to think it was) in the '80s was not much more than a further poofing of the Farrah Fawcet look.

I had a shag haircut in the early to mid 70's. I think the shag was the precursor to the godawful MULLET!!

I can't believe it took ten posts on this topic before someone mentioned Farrah Fawcett. To me, Farrah is synonymous with '70s hair. Everybody wanted the blow-dryed "feathered" look. Heck, even the guys were wearing the feather before trends outmoded it in the early '80s.
A lot of guys had the shaggy look with the bangs parted on the forehead. A friend of mine eloquently referred to this as the "butt cut."
If you ever see the clip of Elton John and Kiki Dee doing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," you've just seen a prime example of '70s hair.
Then there were the disco citizens who had every strand in place, exemplified by John Travolta. As Tony says in SNF, "You hit my hair! I work real hard on my hair, and you gotta hit it!" OK, not the exact line, I know.

I had a semi-afro, it was really cool.
Subject: Re: hair styles
I was getting a perm done at a friend's house when Skylab fell to Earth. Isn't that weird?
Subject: Re: hair styles
When I was in middle school, I sported the feathered-back Farrah look. To keep your look, you'd have a bright-colored long-handled comb that you'd stick in the back pocket of your jeans -- or in the side pocket of your painter's pants -- and then you'd whip it out and use it to feather back your hair. The Farrah look was really popular in Pittsburgh -- even into the 80s, sadly.
Then I had a really bad perm in the mid 70s...it was the last perm I ever got. Too bad the hair products that exist today weren't available to me back in 78!
Towards the end of the 70s I had the Dorothy Hamill wedge cut. God, I couldn't wait for my hair to grow back!

Man, that's a flashback to my childhood. All those wome with that handle-style bright-colored comb....and designer jeans. Girls like my sister who had curly hair had to wail on it with a curling iron to get it straight. That is, they'd use the curling iron to it's opposite purpose. Hell, some of 'em used a clothes iron.
Later in the '80s she was more in luck, she really liked the Thompson Twins, so she did this bleached frizzled Allannah Currie style.
I noticed among "townies" (for lack of a better word) the feather style persisted until the mid-80s. Then in 1987 they were all big hair and Bon Jovi t-shirts
So Dorothy Hamill is responsible for that wedge cut! I associate that style with my friends' moms from the '70s. Wedge cut looked absolutely dorky on 9 out of 10 women.

Well, all I got to do is open my yearbook for 1971. Most of us were wearing a flip at that time, at least in my school.

A gym teacher's hair cut! OMG, I can just see that right now. The female PE teacher's often had a look I'd call "butch-sporty." I can just picture the neato '70s Adidas sweatsuit to go along with that wedge do!

Early 70's the fad hairstyle in my High school was the Shag
*Giggle*(I guess that was the predicessor to the Mullet.)
Mid to Late 70's the Farah Feathered look kicked in.
