A YouTube video featuring the popular hairstyles worn by Black men is going viral.
The video was made by the website cut.com as part of its “100 Years of Beauty” series featuring various people sporting styles from over the last century on its YouTube channel.
Hitting YouTube on Tuesday, the latest video, titled “Episode 18: USA Men 2,” features Atlanta-based singer Lester “L2” Shaw with haircuts popular among Black men from the 1910s to today. Styles include the conk from the 50s, an afro from the 70s and a flattop from the 90s.
The hairstyles were based on those worn by famous Black figures throughout history including Huey P. Newton, William J. Powell and Little Richard.
