Then: Bell bottom flares, platform shoes -- in the '70s, bigger really was better, and hair was no exception. Case in point: Diana Ross' gravity-defying curls.

Now: Disco-inspired models at Reem Acra updated Ross's fluffy curls with straight roots and a center part without sacrificing volume.

Then: Blonde bombshell Veronica Lake would have taken home the title of "Best Hair" for every year of the 1940s. Her trademark peek-a-boo hairstyle became her trademark and it's not hard to see why: Those shiny blonde waves are the epitome of Hollywood glam.

Now: Look at any red carpet and there is always at least one starlet paying homage to Veronica Lake's picture-perfect hair. Brushed-out curls and waves always make an appearance, but the signature slick side part gives the look a decidedly retro feel.

Cher's Pin Straight Hair and Center Part

Then: Cher's hippie-chic, pin-straight style still puts all our best flat-ironing efforts to shame.

Now: Spring runway presentations alerted us that the '70s style resurgence is in full force. Model's at Topshop Unique's Fall/Winter 2014 show re-created Cher's glossy locks and emphasized her signature heavy eyeliner on the lower lids for an edgy update.

Then: Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry mastered rock 'n' roll bedhead with thick, eyelash-skimming bangs and a medium-length cut that embodies the "I woke up like this" mentality.

Now: Endless "It" girls have enrolled in the Alexa Chung school of hairstyling and embraced the artfully undone look. Model Suki Waterhouse's perpetually ruffled 'do offers a slightly more coiffed take on Harry's bleach-blonde cut.

Then: Jerry Hall's long, flowy hair made the model a walking advertisement for Mane 'n' Tail.

We love a good lob and effortless beachy waves, but some hairstyles are so classic that they deserve a spot in the Hair Hall of Fame. Whether it's Holly Golightly's famous updo or a disco diva's legendary curls, some hairstyles just stick around -- getting copied and reinterpreted again and again. Check out photos of the most popular hairstyles at recent awards shows and Fashion Week presentations and you realize that some 'dos just never get old.

It remains to be seen if celebs 50 years from now will be finding their way back to ombre, sombre, shaved undercuts and lavender hair color, but we're certain these winning looks will still be going strong down the line.
