Questlove conditions, moisturizes, gets his ends trimmed and keeps a pick on hand to tighten up his 'fro as needed. Please Prince, go all Questlove on my ass. That'll certainly teach me! Yet but quest keeps his fro unshaped. | |

* While I think we agree that the OP is full of it, I think that your notions about this being a generational thing is a bit sweeping for two points. One, this is the first time I have spent this much time discussing Prince's style, and I'm only doing so to show that the OP's issue with style is really a cultural or racial issue. Two, I think it is more of a cultural/background thing than a generational thing. It may not be common for you and your friends, but I'm 45, my father is 68, and fashion has always been up for socio-political discussion in my household with my father's friends and my friends. | |

* No, I didn't think you were throwing shade (I think that's the first time I've ever used that phrase.), I just wanted to make sure I answered your question. | |

What if he already is bald and we just don't know it? ......Some already accuse him of wearing a wig after all. | |

BECAUSE a Press and Curl would require far less actual effort and maintenance? I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

That's a choice for an individual to make for themselves. NOT YOU. for SOMEONE YOU DONT KNOW, because you dont like their hairstyle in its natural state. | |

The only difference I see with QuestLove's hair is that he wears in one way all the time. Prince styles his afro. | |

It is also a strong possibility that Prince's hair texture isn't 100% of his African genetics Even in that pic and I've seen many others from early days and from the RNRLoveAffair video that he has a little curliness to his hair vs Questlove Which could cause his hair to need a different kind of attention to make sure it's right for photos. Go wild when rocking out on stage | |

I'm not panicing at all. I'm loving wild rocking colorful Prince. Like I've said since he first started the fro I hope he grows it out huge and fluffy the suits bored me | |

. . . We all know how attentive P. is to his appearance. I seriously doubt he is being in any way neglectful or careless with his hair (though it is perhaps meant to look that way just for this photo.). I think his afro was intentionally styled to take on the dishevelled appearance you mentioned so that it goes with the overall Rock ‘n’ Roll aesthetic of the shot. . IMO Aerogram probably said it best when they stated something to the effect that Prince is simply sporting a Jimi Hendrix style cut here. I Googled some pics; looks like Aero was right on the money:

. P. certainly seems to have modeled part of his look after Jimi for this photo, so his afro is similarly unbounded and wild. . The angle that his head is turned, in combination with the 'do hanging a bit over his right eye, gives it what you called a "lop-sided" appearance (though I personally don't see it as being that accentuated). Compare the two pics of Jimi and you’ll see how different they are in terms of symmetry. Prince's photo is actually very stylized; Similar to the first Hendrix pic, the Prince pic features a number of asymmetrical visual elements: his gaze, turn of head, triangular piece of hair (reminds me of ‘80s new wave?), and shadow are off to the (our) left; the halo of light and guitar lean right; only one hand is visible; the guitar is multicolored with irregular flame-like designs; colors on his clothes and guitar do not match or coordinate. The jacket is his signature color from Purple Rain with the left sleeve visibly ripped. Look more closely and you’ll see the edges of the jacket are frayed--much like his hair is in the shot. We can all agree Prince can afford an intact jacket as much as a hairdresser so the frayed appearance of both is clearly intentional. . You don’t have to like it, but maybe this will help you understand it. . A rock star is supposed to look a little rough and tumble. That seems to be all P. is doing here, he's just way better than most rockers at looking pretty while doing it.
