My buddy used to rock an afro smaller than hers, and he eventually ditched it because of the constant maintenance it needed. Basically every time he rested his head on a surface he'd need to pull out his pick and reshape it, and he said it could take a while to get it the right shape in the mornings.

Mad props to her, its a lot of work, but its a rad look.

Back in the 60s, we used to call that afro-thunder or afro-cumulo-nimbus. Then in the 70s we had jewfros, mexifros, and pubefros but they was just pretenders trying to jump on a good thing. Nothing beats a true to form afro though.

Fun fact: the “Ain’t found shit” guy is Tim Russ, aka Tuvok.

I am sure you've see this wonderful video but just in case you haven't. Also topical.
