I am no expert on hairstyle, but I think this one is meant to be 70s ish

Shaft hair would fit the bill
Darius Male Hair, too.
A wonderful era for men's hair, so many different looks. Think of Jason King (Peter Wyngarde) or John travolta, plus some harking back to the 60s with the Fonz. Even the Beatles, in particular Paul adopted the mullet for a while and Rod Stweart had the shag. One could go on and on. Dreadlocks anyone? or the afro? A lot of styles were also basically gender neutral and could be worn by male and female.(without the sometimes associated facial hair being used for the women of course)
Well among straight or wavy haired fellows this is what I remember:
Mullets are Pure 80s and maybe some early 90s as far as I know.
From what I remember of the 70s generally the traditional styles of the 50s and 60s were still in except kept ungreased and worn a bit longer but not long by any means. The crew cuts, flat tops buzz cuts, and really short way of cutting those "Ivy League" styles had ceased except among some middle aged and older men that had simple kept their hair styles the way they had always been from youth.
Likewise, greasers, greasing the hair had ceased except among middle age and older men keeping the same styles they had always had.
The conservative styles were the 'regular' Ivy League or Princeton cuts that have been around I guess as long as scissors have been around, only not faded and not greased, maybe kept a bit longer than was typical.
The 'cool' styles were hippy hair, that is long hair that basically was only trimmed and not anything special was done with it except like women's long hair then sometimes it was cleaned up with cuts called a shag or feathered. I think a shag cut and a feathered cut were the same thing actually. This was 'natural hair' and 'encouraged' as 'liberating'. From age 9 to age 13 I had such a style, LOL but it actually wasn't very liberating or natural as I was still made to go to school and still made to put on clothing too. I did use more shampoo though.
It drives me bonkers today to have hair on my ears.
Some males, like some females, got perms, sometimes very tight perms, so tight they could be called afros. That's also when these mullets came about that I remember only they wasn't called mullets back then. It was just a short feather or short shag on top. Blowing drying the hair was a must in the 70s and 80s but went out of style mostly in the 90s. That's why so many hair styles, guys & gals seemed very puffy and frizzy then.
So I think looking at the hair styles in the DAZ Store for white fellows is is actually an excess of 70s & 80s longer styles with a deficit of 50s, 90s+ shorter cleaner cuts with greaser styles also being in deficit.
For afro and curly haired fellows, I remember 5 styles afros, tight, medium, and big. Braids, similar to cornrows but had thicker and shorter braids. Sometimes you'd see partially straightened hair. All the styles available today where very uncommon then. Like with the white fellows very short fades and crew cut buzz styles were almost unheard of then except among middle aged and older folk as they gave the wearer a 'uncool' and 'uncouth' military bearing.
Maybe these?

Just use female hairs
thankyou so far guys! got some interesting suggestions. I was trying to find ones to show but Chohole beat me to it! yes I was also going to use Travolta as an example you can't have 70's hair examples with him.
I was bringing up my sons in the 70s and the fun we had with me taking them to the barbers for their first real haircuts in about 76 or 77. The younger, with thick,wavy hair wanted a military style cut - well as he put it he wanted an action man hair cut, and the older one wanted a modern style but he had inherited straight hair from his father, not my natural curly hair. however he was happy with the result, it went nicely with his 70s style best outfit (flowery shirt with large collar and flared trousers) and the Younsters action man style went well with the action man outfit he was wearing when the barber whisked the cape away. By that time we had several other customers in the barber shop, waiting to see the result.
How 'bout this? It would cover Travolta and Redford back then.
I knew a lot of guys with hair like John Travolta in Welcome Back Kotter...and quite a few guys with a perm (a la Christopher Atkins back in the day) ;). Jonas Hair works well for the latter.
And this:
And this:
LOL, not that is classic 70s & 80s hair!
I remember punks as being in the later 70's. That is one style that's easy with strand hair, and you can't get it wrong, because with early punk there was no right way, just make sure it's messy and lop sided to be as realistic as possible. Only later in the 80's did punk stop being a scream of rejection, and when adopted by fashion houses, then it became regimented, and a 'right' way of doing the hair was inflicted on fashion victims.
Can you find this hair? this hair is mid 70s and late 70s
