Afros are making a comeback, so don't be hesitant if you see a 3 foot Afro on a famous rapper or singer.

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.
