Is Farrah Hair Back?

In the 1970's, Farrah Fawcett-Majors caught the interest of teenagers and their parents when she posed in a bathing suit for a poster. Over 8 million copies of that poster have been sold over the years.

Girls everywhere wanted to have hair just like Farrah. Faberge came out with a shampoo called Farrah Fawcett Shampoo and there were commercials showing Farrah riding a bike or doing otherwise physical things while her hair moved and shined and looked perfect.

She did a Schick Speed Styler commercial, promoting a hairdryer with attachments and an extra comb for the "flippy" style.

Farrah even did a shampoo for Head & Shoulders shampoo, stating that she knew it worked for the other person's dandruff but she wondered if it would work for her pretty hair.

Girls grew their hair out and flocked to beauty salons to have their locks curled and smothered in Aqua Net, for this ultra-feminine hairstyle.

Jose Eber created the wings that propelled both he and Farrah into hairstyle fame.

When word got around Hollywood circles that it was Eber who created the feathered coif, he got a call from Cher who wanted him to work his magic on her. He then did Elizabeth Taylor's hair and the word continued to spread. Now, of course, Jose Eber is well known as the hairdresser to the stars.

Though Eber has made his living making the beautiful more beautiful, his philosophy is that he simply shows them the beauty that was there all along.

He has recently stepped into the public eye again, working on reality makeover shows.

His famous Farrah cut is being seen again, as well.

It's been tamed a bit but the Farrah flip is showing up on the heads of a number of young celebrities.

For a time, it seemed most of the young girls had sleek, straight hair. By adding the flip, they get a softer and more feminine look.

There is a company with a product called "Big Hair" that is made with natural honey and potato starch. It is promoted as increasing volume and shine.

It seems big hair just may make a comeback.
