It’s crazy how every region in Hiphop had unique hairstyles except New York

[Standing on business]

South:
Houston- southside fade
Dallas- shag
Florida- wicks
Atlanta-
West coast- Variations of that long hair perm shyt

NY cats. No one was rocking the (Hi) hi-top fade like that pre-Kid

[Rhapscallion Démone]

Tapper fades

Locs

 

[old pig]

ironically shags were popular in NY dating back to the 70s...we clowned my boy for rocking one in the 80s and yes it was called shags back then too and looked the same as shags do now minus some dudes rocking parts on the side

The Nas fade.

That shyt was universal

 

[Take It In Blood]

Gumbi's was NY

 

[Wildhundreds]

That curly high top fade like guy..

1988 Keith Sweat.

Think the east coast dudes took the high top fade to different levels..

Your thread is a contradiction cause you only named a few cities?


The south, DC and Jersey being dread head areas is no different than NY not having a unique hair style.

nothing unique about dreads except the wick hair style that’s rocked in Florida.

That shyt was universal

so is dreads.





so therefore 90% of the south and most of the Midwest also do not have unique hair styles.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

I think the very concept of the shape up came from nyc barbershops

Many styles associated with hip hop and the eighties, started in ny

Hi top fades

Tapper fades

Locs

Lots of loc heads in nyc but dreads is more associated with cultured Caribbean people. You’ll barely even see a Americanized Caribbean person rocking them.

The only true unique hair style is the shag in Dallas and wicks in Florida. That’s literally it.


the west coast perm shyt is overstated. When I went to LA a few years back I literally saw not a single person that was under the age of 35 rocking them lol. Even all the videos you watch of LA nikkas now you almost never see that hairstyle in the videos. Lol
