Who's fro' reigns supreme? We loved it when these men grew out their hair.
Check out the Top 10 Afro Goddesses here.
We’ve already made our Top Ten Afro Goddesses list, so it’s only fair that we give the men their time to shine! The following gentlemen prove that growing your hair out into an afro never really goes out of style.
Maybe this will encourage the men in your life to do the same? Hmm…we like that idea!
Jimi Hendrix
Blast from the past! Hendrix starts off our list with his simple afro – not uncommon in the 60s and 70s. Just like his music, we consider his fro a classic.
Maxwell
Yes, we know, the Grammy award-winning singer no longer sports big hair, but doesn’t a little part of you wish he did?
Maxwell before…
…and Maxwell after
Lenny Kravitz
He used to swing his locs, but for a couple of years, Kravitz rocked out and head banged with an afro.
Questlove
It’s no question…we love (get it?) the head of hair on the inquisitive and artistic drummer for world renown band The Roots.
Andre 3000
Half of the dynamic duo Outkast, Andre’s hair changes as much as his eccentric style, but we’ll always hold his afro near and dear.
Musiq Soulchild
Summertime is the perfect season to turn up the volume to Soulchild’s music and feel the wind run through your coils!
Afta-1
We’re big fans of the musical projects he produces, but we go crazy for his neatly cropped fro.
Jesse Boykins III
Doesn’t his hair remind you of a lion’s mane? We love JB3′s hair, and his sweet serenades have our hearts as well.
K’naan
You may know him for the World Cup 2010 anthem “Wavin Flag”, but K’naan, also known as the Dusty Foot Philosopher, has been rocking his afro for years as a rapper born and raised in Somalia, East Africa.
Young Michael Jackson
His hair takes the title for most adorable afro! Period.
Who did we miss? Comment below and name who you think is an Afro god.

I love a man with hair. Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes had a beautiful curly mane. And I think Jaden Smith could give young MJ a run for most adorable fro. Qtip and Mos Def also sported cute fros.

I did a similar post on my blog recently and I have to say that Jaden Smith’s fro is looking GREAT these days. Also, check out the video of the Jackson 5 and Cher, all of whom have amazingly large fros!

Ahh Jesse. I personally told him that organic unrefined coconut oil was fabulous for his gorgeous hair.
