Trivia: Will Smith wore what popular style in “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”?
Cornrows
Jheri curl
Afro
Fade
Correct Answer: Fade
So why is this answer correct? : As hip hop became more popular, so did hi-top fades. While Black barbers had more or less perfected the technique by then, the ’80s saw more creative expression, combining fades with other styles, like cornrows. Will Smith only popularized the style further when he wore it on “Fresh Prince,” and many Black music artists also displayed fades on album covers and during performances.
