In the year 2013, the gender lines of womenswear and menswear are defined by button locations, zipper cuts, and body contouring, but if we were always partying like it was 1999 along with Prince, all of this would be moot. 

The 54-year-old legend isn’t afraid to contour his cheeks and dazzle in a little smokey eye while sashaying in his heels because his confidence rests in this one fact: with just a flash of his perfectly coifed chest hair, your girl is going home with him.

Let’s be real for a second, Prince has always epitomized “gone with the wind fabulous.” He was, and probably will always be, the rare exception to the rules of masculinity when it comes to straight men, and he takes that opportunity to dabble in things most men shy away from, including some damn awesome hair experimentation.

After watching Prince rip the stage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards with his brand spanking new afro, we thought it would only be right to revisit some of his most epic hair moments that explain why nobody can do it better than The Artist…and his hair artist. So sit back and relax.

First, we must say that very few have managed to have a mane this exquisite on any album cover. We’re talking chest and head hair. Follicular flawlessness. 

And could you imagine the frizz that would ensue if you mounted a moist flower? Not when you’re Prince. Pollen in his hair and he is still fabulous. 

Not a single curl flaw can be detected, even in omnipotent Jesus lighting. 

When have you ever seen a mullet with this much attitude…attached to a face with that much constipation? 

Never is the answer. 

And if this isn’t gone with the wind fab…we’re not sure what exactly is.

 

Well, this may actually be a viable second contender fit for a Dark & Lovely box.

Ignore the facepowder and take a look at that baby from the back. 

It just makes you feel like…like…

And there was that one time he dabbled in a little color for his wash and set…

We could barely contain our excitment! 

So when we ask who has the best hair in the game, what’s your answer? 

Prince isn’t convinced. 

Who is the King of mane versatlity? 

That’s right. It’s Prince. Any questions?

Didn’t think so.
