HITOPFADE

Hi-top fade

A hi-top fade is a style of haircut where hair on the sides is cut off or kept very short and hair on the top of the head is very long . The hi-top has been a trend symbolizing the Golden Era of hip hop and urban contemporary music during the late 1980s and the early 1990s. The hi-top fade was common among young African Americans between 1986 and 1993 and to a lesser extent in the mid-1990s . The style fell completely out of fashion by 1997, though it has slowly made a return in the public eye since the late 2000s.
