One Woman Recreates 6 Iconic Hairstyles From Classic Black Movies

One Woman Recreates 6 Iconic Hairstyles From Classic Black Movies

Nothing rings in the holiday season quite like grabbing a cup of hot cocoa and cozying up on the couch with a blanket and a movie. Hold the cream with that cocoa because we're talking about classic black films that never get old!

We decided to recreate our favorite hairstyles from these films with a modern twist. Ever wondered what Bernadine's dramatic cut would look like in 2016? How about Cleo's thug-nificent cornrows? We've re-styled all of our beloved characters for the 2010's and we think you'll enjoy their new looks.

Watch the full video at the end of this post!

All the hair being modeled in the video is by Mayvenn.
