Women aren't the only ones who care about their hair, today there are a lot of black celebrity hairstyles for men. A majority of black males are beginning to show their sense of fashion by sporting some out of the ordinary hairstyles.
The days of the bold and handsome black men with their shaved heads are beginning to pass over us. Now many black men are sporting styles that at times, (sorry to say ladies), looks better then your hair.
The famous hairstyles for not only celebrity black males, but black males in particular are buzz cuts, fades, afros, dreadlocks and cornrows.
Everyone can recall Bob Marley's rendition of cornrows from his magical career in the 70's. But today, many black celebrities also wear cornrows like the famous little Wayne who is no stranger to the lime light.
Fades are a hairstyle that will never go out of style; a fade is in a way like a tailored buzz cut. Many black males wear a fade just for the simple fact of how versatile the hairstyle is. Regardless if you're a rapper of a successful business man, a fade can compliment any black male or ethnic male's features.
Afros are making a comeback, so don't be hesitant if you see a 3 foot Afro on a famous rapper or singer. Everyone critiqued Lenny Kravitz when he wittingly wore an Afro in his famous video for American Woman, but now more and more people are bringing back this classic hairstyle from the 60s and 70s.
Cornrows are now a mainstream hairstyle. Started by hip-hop stars and basketball players as a way to keep cool without having to shave your head, black males are not the only ones who have been seen wearing cornrows. Cornrows are a serious of small braids that run down your head almost like a French braid. Singers such as Justin Timberlake have been spotted wearing cornrows.
Hairstyles for black men are extremely versatile and never cease to amaze anyone. Who knows what new style will soon be hitting the lime light soon.
