Shape-up

Shape-up

Also called a "line-up". Hair that has an even line across the forehead and then turns sharply at a 90-degree angle and blends with the sideburns. It can be worn with almost any other hairstyle. Primarily worn by Latinos and some African Americans. Well-known examples include Canadian hip-hop artist Drake and Vinny Guadagnino from MTV's Jersey Shore.

From the Wikipedia article

A shape-up, also called a line-up or an edge-up, is a hairstyle where the natural hairline is trimmed to look straight and sharp. It became popular in the 1980s, especially among people with Afro-textured hair, and influenced styles like fades, parts, and waves.
