The Fade


It seems like the trend of African-American men wearing their hair in braids or corn-rolls is over. Several prominent athletes, movie stars and musicians have just come home from the barber sans the naps. Richard "Rip" Hamilton, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, and Wyclef Jean are all sporting trimmed hairdos.

This leads me to believe that in the old adage that everything old is new again we are soon to see this phase of hair style go the wayside as well. What it will lead to, I surmise, is the return of the high-top fade. Oh yes like Pookie from the movie New Jack City we will see the heads of African American men model that of the red-rocked plateaus of the Southwest.

I for one will embrace this "new" style and wish all the future wearers luck with their new do's.
