Yes, I’m referring to the sharpness going all the way around, lined up sideburns, etc.
I first saw that in Philly.

Bruh, that’s Scoob Lova, one of his dancers, his boy.

This is 1 of those things that always make me laugh... The Dr truth Asian comment... I trusted you, etc... Bgol legendary moments

....hold on mufuca, where is your shirt??!!!!!
Ol I want mens hair to stick to my chest ass barber
Whats are you talking about?
Yeah I was a kid in the 80's. That's why i was wondering when edge ups came about. I still think the "norm" was probably mid 90's because a few had it here and there but it's a must for all black men's haircuts since the 90's
Nah Brother. I'm telling you it was normal since the 80's. The fro with the nice shape up and long, sharp sideburns was the norm in the mid 80's. (Unless you was just a dusty nigga. LOL)
Put it like this: The flat top haircut got popular in 1986. It was an absolute must (dusty or not) to have a nice line up to compliment the style.
And for that matter, barbers even upped the ante by beginning the designs.
That's the 80's. You may have just seen it in the 90's, but a lot of us who were actually living it will tell you for sure.
TOO MANY OPTIONS NOW!!
Brothers weren't as stressed in the past.
Hairlines were natural since 1972!
The issue then was the back of the neck - round or square or taper?

Started at tail end of afro era.. Late 70s. Became the standard in early/mid 80s.
It’s funny you mentioned the back of the neck. Lol.
We would laugh at any bama who had a square or round neck back in the 90’s. Lol. You had to have that joint faded out or else the jonin would persist. This was a DC/PG County thing. Lol. Good times.
you asking a question cause you saw a tv show with a nig with a fucked up cut like he represented the streets... If you saw a prince video would you ask when did nigs stop wearing ass out pants and high heels? Tv pretty much has never been a real representation of black america...there are far and few things on the idiot box that share the same thing in real life
After the natural jheri-curl s-curl faze....some of you older dudes on here be lying or trying to keep it hush-hush but ya'll had a jheri-curl or one of those s-curls back in the day,tell the truth and shame the devil.I got my older brother's year books and it was jheri-culr fever,even some of the girls...my brother had candy curls looking like Dj Quik so I know some of you dudes were worse than that
I don't know when but since I was a little kid,they would line you up....

I was born in the 50s. I grew up in Lawrenceville, Ga. Clyde Wilburn was one of the barbers in that small (at the time) town. He used to line us up. First week, we'd get a haircut. Next weekend, we'd just get a line. We called it a lineup or a "tape!" That was in the 60s around 1965 or 1966. If a nigga wanted to look "unkempt," he would just not visit the barber every weekend.Watching the Cosby show right now and young theo hairline is hilarious. The earliest I can remember is the mid 90's I remember Nas getting sharp line ups around illmatic. Is that when it started? And do yall ever think it will go back to the "obama" natural haircut without a line again?

Late 80's. My hairline is naturally fucked up. My hairline grows inward unevenly. I wasn't self aware of my hairline until I was 17.
I been using the straight razor for a few months now, I'm surgical with that bitch now. my beard gets hit up 2x a week with the razor.
Razor and hot towels is that Pimp Treatment at the Shop.
