Move over Kid! There is a new high top fade champion in town!
Benny Harlem, a model based in LA but originally from NYC, made a huge splash on social media with his extremely long hair, and glamorous, Afro-empowering photo shoots with his young daughter, Jaxyn (who also has an impressive amount of hair). He recently broke the Guinness World Record for having the tallest high top fade at 20.5 inches above his head:
When asked about his and his daughter’s hair regimen, he tells Paper Magazine:
“I mean we have a regimen. We wash our hair every week. We make our own shampoo and stuff like that, which consists of natural [ingredients like] coconuts and certain berries and things. I think it’s really just what most people do to their hair. [But we also] take care of [our] bodies. I think a lot of it is positive self-image and great thinking…”
Everytime we see a high top fade we can’t help but think of our favorite record from Big Daddy Kane…
TELL US: When was the last time you saw someone rock the high top fade?
