What year did nikkas start caring about hairlines?

I was watching a documentary that took place in the 80s and I noticed no one had an edge up. What year did this become common place in the black community? and who started it?

Whatever year it was, Terrence Howard and Tommy Davidson obviously didn’t get the memo

Shape ups were popular in the 80s. All of those gumby/box cuts were shaped up

88 and into the 90’s is when it became serious…real serious in the 90’s(sharp lines), somewhat hip hop induced (high top fade, slope, Gumby etc,)……the 80’s cats was still wearin geri curls til bout 87
