probably because they were cautious of the hair/makeup dept possibly fukking shyt up and pushing their line back. Could you imagine getting your shyt pushed back and having to wait a few weeks for it to grow back normal? and back then, those cats weren't ballin to a point where they could bring the barber on set with them, shyt that dudes like Diddy and them constantly do


I honestly think a ceasar is subconsciously threatening to the dominant society (ie white folks in middle america)

Fresh hairlines is whats ruining TV nowadays. Everyone and their momma looks all clean, what happened to the authenticism? If I see someone walk onto a TV show with a hairline better than mine I turn the TV off quick.

shyt come all the way back from Africa, before slavery. Old African drawings/paintings/statues u noticed these nikkas got very visible shape ups. It was a sign of prestige.

Its just one of the many thing we kept despite slavery, but didnt really become practiced widely and regularly until like 20 yrs ago. But it was always in the community. shytt some old american black pictures ull always see 1 or 2 nikka with a crisp shape up.
