5. Cornrows
Sasha Obama was the one who attracted a lot of attention to her ‘parallel plaits’ as the New York Times called her cornrow hairstyle. Cornrows have existed for centuries in the African culture and are a staple hairstyle for any Afro-American girl or woman. Of course, guys wear them as well!
6. The ‘new’ pierced nail trend
Many believe that Kim K started the pierced nail trend, but they are wrong. Black women have been experimenting with nails and nail art since the early 90s. You can see Janet Jackson in the “What’s It Gonna Be” single rocking purple pierced nails. It wasn’t such a new trend back then and it certainly isn’t now!
