The Evolution Of Goldie Hawn's Perfectly Feathered Hair Throughout The Years

Goldie Hawn may be best known for being a ditzy character on NBC's "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In," but off-screen she's built a sophisticated career as an award-winning multitalent. Hawn has had a stunning transformation, but she's always been recognized for donning one of the best hairdos in Hollywood. The actor may have won awards for her on-screen performances, but her perfectly feathered hair deserves an Oscar, too. Throughout her career, Hawn's sun-kissed California blond hair was styled into voluminous waves and featured choppy bangs. While Hawn's hair was carefully sculpted for the screen, she favored a signature tousled look for most of her red-carpet appearances.

For years, though Hawn chopped and changed her hairstyle, even cutting it into a pixie cut at one point in the late '60s, she has loved the layered look. The actor understands that her hair is central to her image and protects it accordingly. "I know it sounds strange, but I've never colored my hair. I just put a regular rinse on it because I don't have any chemicals on it," she told Allure in 2013. Not only does her hair look great in any style, but it smells great, too. "I put this oil in my hair the other day, and it had some musk in it and a mix of orange. It was a very exotic, sexy scent," Hawn added. Hawn's hair was perfect, and it still is. Even in her late 70s, the actor has continued to embody the perfect hair inspiration.

Goldie Hawn was only 19 years old when she posed for her 1965 portrait. Donning a seamlessly feathered long bob, otherwise known as a lob, there's no denying that throwback photos of young Goldie Hawn are absolutely stunning. Hawn has worn her hair in a summer-blond shade for years, and the '60s were no different. Her hair featured a choppy fringe that rested on her eyebrows and drew attention to her thick winged eyeliner. She gently flicked the ends of her hair, which nodded to the era's bouncy hair trends.

Goldie Hawn rose to fame after she appeared in NBC's "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In." Despite already making her mark on the show, it's safe to say Hawn made another statement when she chopped her luscious long locks into a pixie cut. In a 1968 episode, the actor performed wearing a blush pink slip dress that featured crystal adornments and added a typically feminine touch to her androgynous appearance. Toward the end of the decade, Hawn clearly started to embrace the era's "boyish" mod-inspired haircuts, but with an elegant feathered twist.

Cut to the '70s, and it's hard to believe that Goldie Hawn was sporting a pixie cut only a couple of years earlier. In 1970, the actor smiled for a photographer in New York City wearing a remarkable feathered blond blowout. A peek inside Goldie Hawn's luxury lifestyle will show all about her fabulous coat collection, so while her fur-trimmed jacket was most likely her own, it's hard to say whether she was wearing a wig or a hairpiece. Nevertheless, as her soft ringlets rested on her elegant collar, Hawn was the picture of glamor.

By 1972, Goldie Hawn had adapted her hair again. Amid the U.S. presidential campaign, Hawn donned yet another feathered hairstyle. The actor's hair appeared straighter and longer, and her golden blond locks featured choppy layers that cascaded over her collarbones. While it's unclear whether she was wearing a hairpiece, Hawn's hair was noticeably thicker at the roots. Behind her set of Birkin bangs, a major trend in the '70s, Hawn's hair was chopped into short layers that were tousled high on her head.

Goldie Hawn undeniably embraced the "bigger is better" approach to hair and the "larger-than-life" aesthetic that dominated the '80s. Despite attending the 1980 Academy Awards clad in sequins, the actor's voluminous golden-blond blowout was undeniably the focal point of her ensemble. Her hair was delicately divided into feathered layers, allowing her to carefully curl each section and create a bouncy finish. Hawn may have curled her hair in the '70s, but her soft ringlets were far bigger now. Her bangs also flicked to either side, framing her blue eyes.

When minimalism took over the '90s, Goldie Hawn changed the way she styled her hair. At the Donna Karan spring fashion show in 1995, the actor was photographed wearing yet another feathered hairstyle with bangs. However, this time, Hawn's long layers looked unstyled, allowing only their natural shape to shine. Her hair fell onto her shoulders in soft waves, while her heavy bangs completely drowned her eyebrows and rested on her eyelids. Yes, Hawn's hair was undeniably less bold in the '90s, but the actor's delicate locks still made their mark.

Luckily for Goldie Hawn, layers and bangs were a big hit in the early 2000s. Hawn was in her element in 2002 when she attended an event at the American Museum of the Moving Image wearing her hair in a simple down-do. Once again, her radiant blond locks featured soft feathered layers and a choppy fringe that covered most of her forehead. Hawn clearly preferred the more natural look she discovered in the previous decade, as she allowed her natural waves to shine again.

In recent years, Goldie Hawn has continued to make headlines for her glamorous locks and has maintained her reputation as a legendary hair muse for women. In 2017, Hawn reaffirmed her role as a hair icon when she arrived at the New York premiere of "Snatched" wearing her hair in a layered blowout. Her sun-kissed California blond hair cascaded over her shoulders in large, loose ringlets. If it weren't for her mature red blazer and bold floral brooch, it would be hard to believe this photo wasn't from the '70s.
