I think it is dynamically beautiful: the lines, symmetry and precision remind me of Nefertiti's crown- a symbol of prestige and power.”–@laurenbrevner Beauty standards and the pressure that comes with them, tend to be socially placed on women. However, it is rarely discussed how Black men had their fair share of navigating through hair expectations and discrimination. The evolution of hairstyles has changed for Black men from the 1500s in West Africa all the way until the 20th century. The Jheri Curl, a permanent wave hairstyle, slowly started making its way in the 1980s but a new hairstyle took hold that is still pervasively worn even in the present time. According to Byrd and Tharps, “In the 1980s we had what developed in Philly known as the ‘Philly fade’.” Some men had worn this version of the look as early as the fifties and by the eighties, it was the keystone of Black male visual expression. This carried into pop culture mainstream as many actors and celebrities wore this prominent fade hairstyle. The fade still functions as a popular hairstyle today and it’s presently not solely supported amongst Black men, but the origins started in Black communities. Even today, the stylistic variations of the fade are what keep it a popular and signature look.
