I'm pleased and excited to present season-by-season, up-close
photos of Meredith Baxter as Elyse Keaton on Family Ties.
This straightforward visual guide will go year-by-year as we take
an enjoyable look at Meredith's lovely face.

Season 4 saw quite a nice swept-back look, while bangs were
introduced for Season 5. An earlier type of style returned
for Season 6, while we see that Meredith's hair has been
cut shorter for Season 7, in a style that nicely complements
her pretty facial features.

If you've enjoyed this analysis, I encourage you to head over to
the Family forum in the 1970s Dramas category, where I've
done a thorough guide to the many ways Meredith wore her
long tresses on that series, including up-dos. She sometimes
pulled her hair back on Family Ties and always looked so
nice. It's really enjoyable to study this lovely lady.

Here are some pulled-back hairstyles for Meredith as Elyse on Family Ties.
While it's always nice to see the full length of her hair, I think most
everyone will agree that Meredith looks hot in these styles as well.

Season 1 - Wearing her hair up in a bun. Small
earrings complete the elegant look:

Season 2 - Meredith gives us a great smile. Her
lipstick is very light in color, if not just clear gloss.
Cute gold earrings, her overall look is quite pretty:

Season 2 again - Here we have a look at Meredith's
ponytail. Nicely curled ends of her hair:

Season 4 - Close to the style we saw in the 1st post
for this season, but here Meredith's hair is pulled back
significantly on the sides. I love those bouncy curls:

Season 6 - Those eyes! wow, stunning. In addition to
her lovely eye makeup, we see that Meredith is wearing
bright lipstick this time, and very prominent earrings:

Season 7 - Back to a minimal makeup look. A beautiful
lady:
