Two Ladies of County Music who went real long in the 70's -silky and beautiful, one almost touching the behind:

In the 80's however they didn't succeed in escaping the almighty perming trend:

When I think about how much beautiful long hair was lost, cut off and permed, at the beginning of the 80's from stars as well as from the "avarage" women in the street because it was "out of fashion", but now their long and straight "before" dos would be, a styled bit differently, quite "in" again...

Thank God Crystal escaped this trend - and she is the woman who managed to look classy and timelessly elegant over all the tiime with her moving, swinging mane and beautiful updos - without even sacrificing a bit of her floor length hair.
