In 1970 Sindy changed a little, The first new doll in the 1970s had a Centre parting in her hair instead of a side parting like the earlier doll, but  her size and markings remain the same as the dolls from earlier years . She is known as a Sindy centrepart amongst collectors today.

New in 1971 is Sindy's head. It can now turn 360 degrees on a neck knob which gives her a more natural appearance. The head is marked 033055X. Sindy is now advertised as Trendy girl.  Trendy girl is one of the favorite Sindy dolls for collectors. She has a sweet high colour face, very long stick-in lashes and has lovely long hair in a flip hair style. For the first time more shades of hair are available, blond, ash-blond that is sometimes almost grey, auburn, copper, chestnut and dark brunette. Sindy is marked 033029 on her shoulders and 033030 on her bottom. She has a twist waist and pose able legs (with a wire inside), her arms do not pose. She is almost 11 inches or 28cms tall. Trendy girl was sold until 1974, during these years she is also sold with rubber bending legs, these dolls have unsightly holes in their feet near their ankles but are otherwise the same.
