Farrah Fawcett's Hair Evolution

"Charlie's Angels" star Farrah Fawcett's gold, silken curls defined a decade of hair. Look back on the '70s bombshell's best hair moments in Hollywood.

A hot curling iron and some hair spray is all you need to look like a true Charlie’s Angel thanks to Farah Fawcett. At age 29, the Texas-born actress starred in the 1970s series Charlie's Angels as one of three seductive female detectives. Fawcett’s role transcended Hollywood gender norms at the time. Even more transcendent, though, is her hair. Soft feathered waves curling away from the face were Fawcett’s initial trademark, but over the years the actress has made equally show-stopping switch ups. In celebration of the late star's birthday, L’OFFCIEL looks back on her Hollywood hair evolution.

Fawcett famously stars in the "Charlie's Angel's" TV series alongside Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. Although the show was massively successful, the blonde bombshell left after only one season.

During the height of her “Charlie’s Angel’s” fame, Fawcett stuns in a red swimsuit and her signature blonde curls. The image was originally released as a poster in 1977 and sold out in a flash, making it the best-selling poster of all time.

The feather bangs and extra large curls became synonymous with the actress and women began asking for "The Farrah" at the hair salon. Fawcett also capitalized on her hair's popularity by starring in hair product commercials and launching her own line of shampoo with Faberge in 1978.

After separating from her husband, and later divorcing Majors in 1982, Fawcett began dating Ryan O'Neal in the late '70s. Here, she smiles with the actor with her blonde locks tamed in a braid.
