Fashion is an endless cycle, and there's always a case of what's old is new again. Two of the hottest upcoming musicians are illustrating that every day with the way they wear their hair. And I, for one, am loving it!
Exhibit A: Janelle Monae

The genre-defying dynamo is known for her incredible live performances, her entirely black-and-white wardrobe, and that hair. A natural-textured bouffant that she creates with bobby pins, Janelle's hair remains distinctive and amazingly unmoved despite all of her dancing.
To see Janelle's hair in motion, check out her hot new video for Tightrope, featuring Big Boi from Outkast.
For a straighter, sleeker version of retro hair hotness, we present to you Ms. VV Brown

This British import is known for her skills on the guitar, her stunning fashion sense, and her rocker-chic music. To capture that VV Brown style, go for a bold cat's eye with your makeup, and roll your bangs. Check outthis YouTube tutorial for guidance on this vintage hairstyling technique.
And check out VV Brown's super unique and fun video for Crying Blood.
What are your thoughts on these retro hairstyles? Do they look just as good today, or should they stay in the past?

It seems Janelle Monae hairstyle would be too much to keep up with for me. I like VV Brown 'do but then I would need some hair pieces for that length. My hair goes down a little past my shoulders so that 'do would just look like a regular faux hawk or front hump on me.

Like India Arie said, "We are not our hair," so whatever turns you on. I think both styles are beautiful and unique. Congratulations to both, Janelle Monae and VV Brown, for rocking them.

Janell Monae is nothing more than a gimmic...I saw her perform live on BET's Rip the Runway and she sucked big time.. No Talent at all, Puffy needs to lay off the Puffs
