The Typhoon from 1991-1992 was just right.

Yup, I think Prince looked just about perfect during the D&P and album era.

Yeah u are right, it was definietly his best hair cut!

i wish prince would embrace his natural hair texture.


one day.

Who cares? Just as long as the assless pants will come back oneday.

I have always preferred him with long hair but I thing he is gorgeous no matter how long or short his hair is. Except for the blue ribbons and braids look. HATED IT!

I'm a sucker for long hair. I loved Prince's look in GB.

I LOVED PRINCE'S HAIR IN ALPHABET ST.

SO LONG HAIR...

BUT SHORT HAIR IS GOOD...WE DON'T WANT HIM LOOKING TO GIRLY

My kinda thread!! Long haired Prince gets my vote everytime!!!

Def. short hair!!!!!

I love how these kiddies have these fashion requirements of people 40 and over.

In no way were those "jheri curls"...it's a big difference from the actual press and roll look he had then.

Speaking of the Typhoon, how long do you think it took to make it look the way it did?

Several hours and a bunch of gel and haircurlers? It's puzzling.

UndercovaBrotha said:

I could easily do that. Sit Prince in front of a fan and throw gel through it. Then you just smooth his edges down, design them however he likes....soo easy

The 'Ms. Thailand Transsexual Hooker Beauty Paegant' look is definately better best forgotten.

YUP !

LOVE him in long hair. GB was the best hair ever...Rave was a close second.

The absolute worst hair in my opinion was in the era he had the sides shaved, when he was wring Slave on his cheek. Ugh.

Not a big fan of the Typhoon era with the fingerwaves down to the jawbone. Or the GB/Batman era...too Jesus-y.

In general, I like short hair on guys, but I do like his Prince & Lovesexy locks.

My favs are Parade/UTCM and the Versace/Goldera (sans SLAVE) (the latter probably due to the fact that I, myself, would rock that hairstyle & make up...which I guess is kind of weird. I don't know, there's just something I dig about thick black eyeliner with the little extension on the outer corner ...but I digress...)

You're kidding me? That's the look I've been aiming at for the most part of my adult life!

I cringe everytime somebody incorrectly calls that style a Jheri Curl. Makes me wonder what some people think Jheri curls were.

Michael Jackson had a Jheri Curl. Prince (thank the Lord and pass the cheese) never got caught up in that style.

short, long it really does' nt matter

your right..he went the other direction and pressed his hair....all he needed to do was bleach the sh*t blond and he could have been farah fawcett number 2.


prince, pressing your hair straight is old man...celebrate what god gave you. for a change.

sosgemini said:

If you want to get technical about it back when prince started perming his hair it was the style. And as for right now prince is an old man so I guess it's still works for him. Besides plenty of black men press their hair and I don't see anybody calling them out on it (see James Brown, a truck load of rappers, Al Sharpton).

And finally when prince did grow his hair out for a nano second during the japanese leg of the tour he did a couple years back people on this very board dogged him out and said it looked like he had on a furry hat, etc., etc.

SOSG please don't start with me. I'm not in the mood.

:huh:
ehhh? where and why would you think anyone was starting anything with you?

luv that typhoon. but back to the jheri curl - it sure looks like he had one in 1981. everytime i see him doing partyup on snl i think i hate that curl.
-silk
