retro hairstyle

Throwback hair look

A retro hairstyle is a haircut or styling that evokes an earlier era—victory rolls from the 1940s, beehives from the 1960s, feathered layers from the 1970s.

The term usually implies deliberate revival rather than simply being dated: She wore a retro hairstyle to the rockabilly show.

What counts as retro shifts with time; styles must be old enough to feel nostalgic rather than merely unfashionable.
