Just came from the barbershop and got to skin fade.
Is the bald fade becoming increasingly popular?

I get what Future saying though. I had braids when i was younger, then cut them off because i wanted a real job. I used to wonder why i wouldn't get call backs. Cut my hair = BAM!! Jobs left and right

I been seeing the bald fade a little more common around here.
Also I'd only like long hair unless I could get that ninja type style some Asian guys rock.
I'ma black guy, btw.
Also I'd need to rock like size NINE fitteds if I had long hair, my head is huge.

Maybe fades in general are coming back. I've been with a medium fade for a while though.

I only made my comments because I'm noticing the opposite.
I'm seeing more and more minorities wearing their hair longer.
Dreads, twists, and just kinda that unkempt/loose curly afro going with maybe a little fade on the edges are what I'm seeing more of.

The guys in the military rock buzz cuts, similar but not the same. Bald fade involves more detailing and layers.

I've been growing mine for some months now. My mom brought that same point up to me. It actually makes sense to grow our hair, it's practical. But I guess people don't like the way it looks (white people) so blacks feel the need to cut it. It's like we have to be ashamed of it, for some reason.
It's something with conformity though. Like in the military.

those places are few and far between, trust affirmative action saves many minorities who are indefinitely competent for many "middle class" jobsYou're telling me that a black guy can get a decent job with his hair as long as he wants it to be compared to the average white guy with his long hair slicked back?
Mind you, thats why I like working in meritocracies, not places that care about how I look.

People at my job could care less about my hair now. Best believe my fade was tight when I had my interview though. These days you need to have any advantage you can get in this competitive workplace. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. It doesn't matter what race you are, you will be judged. Some just more than others 
Also, Affirmative Action is a thing of the past at least around my neck of the woods.

no its not, its a federal stipulation, even if your state "abolishes" affirmative action, they can't because it's federal, if you applied for a job and in the application somewhere it said they were a "Equal Opportunity Employer" thats part of the affirmative action programPeople at my job could care less about my hair now.

i always get a ceasar, a taper doesnt look too cool on me unless it doesnt completely fade to nothing, and a fade is probably not a good look, havent had one since i was in the 5th grade
