Ghetto Hairstyles come from just that, the ghetto aka the lower class citizens of any community. Ghetto hairstyles are a fashion statement.  You will notice these hairstyles on hip hop models throughout most hip hop music videos. The women who wear them are from ghetto seeing as they have obtained a level of success, but hey it's 'in' to be ghetto. 

Ghetto hairstyles are usually known for microbraids, hair extensions, cornrolls, dreads, natural naps [nappy headed hoes as Bill Imus would refer to em] fades, waves and yada yada yada.

Hair coloring is also important when having the ethnic ghetto look. The most popular colors are the bold, bright ones like green, blue, purple, burgundy, and so on. In fact, looking bold is what makes the ghetto hairstyles what they are.
