I'm dedicating this thread to a younger relative who told me having layered bangs in my hair would make me look like an "auntie." Long straight hair, individual braids, wash and gos are not default hairstyles.

Everyone looked so classy back then. I wish I were alive during that time.

Thanks, OP!

The stylist Jennifer Rose talked about this in one of her IG lives. She said it was a lot more fun being a stylist back in the day because her clients would take more risks with their hair. Now no one wants to get a cut or color, everything is about length retention.

This thread makes me want to get a roller set for old time's sake.

The stylist is absolutely correct! In our family album there are an array of braids, twist, press n curls, fros, wash n his, and what ever else. People don't seem as creative anymore. Thanks for the live recommendation. I'll have to listen to it!

Fluffy roller set, gold jewelry, red oval nails, and a beautiful dress is such a mood.

This is true.... every hairstyle I see now is all the same bundles, inches, and slicked back baby hairs.... they all look the same.... I only see versatility from the Editorial Hairstylists now....

Eh, I like seeing black women with their own long hair. If you want crazy colors or cuts, there are weaves and wigs for that. No reason to cut or color your own hair unless you want to.
If the stylists don’t like it that much, they can find a new niche or find something else to do.
