Show Your ‘Fro
IN THE MOOD for a bit of fun, so I thought I might take a moment to ask you to show your ‘fro!
Now, not every Web geek has a ‘fro. But I think some of the most cool of us do. Here are a few examples.
The Classic
Scrivs often sports the Classic ‘Fro. If you look closely, you’ll even see something more classic: A pick stuck in the back of his ‘fro.
The SideFr0
Ethan Marcotte, aka SideSh0w, is the coolest white man to ever sport a ‘fro. I dub his ‘fro The SideFr0.
The JewFro
I can’t go poking fun at my friends without pointing out that I, too, have a ‘fro. I have what’s known as a JewFro. There’s actually a tag on Flickr for jewfro. Slays me, it does.
Get Going! Go!
Show your fro!

Has no fro – just short-ish hair. Actually at it’s longest right now and will be trimmed again soon.
#Laughs # @ JewFro!
Oh no, no fro. I want a fro but my genes prevent it.
I’m fortunately lacking in fro as well. I’m not a fro guy. Fro gets into the icecream when I’m licking the bottom of the tub. Fro makes its way into all sorts of places and things I have to clean later.
I believe my lack of fro is due to drinking cheap instant coffee from the supermarket which only grows my eyebrows and not proper fro. But that’s an aside cos fro is about being cool.
Unfortunately I’m not sure I am anymore. But years ago I was cool even without a fro. So cool I wore a crew cut and boots. I just never moved with the times… sorry Molly.
I must say, the classic is the coolest one. If I ever wished I was born an african, the ‘fro would be one of the main reasons
Sadly, I’m just a medium-blond norwegian guy (born way up north) – so when are you gonna have a “show your viking-hair”-thingy or whatever? Hehe…
I never thought of your hair-style as a ‘fro, but it looks nice, Molly!
I used to have a “mom-I-really-need-a-haircut” fro when I was a kid. I’ll try dig out some photos sometime if I can bear the embarrassment…
Let’s try this:
Nope. Didn’t think the html would work. Here’s a link instead:

fro envy
Is there such a thing as fro envy?…
Okay, “sidefr0″ is officially the best word ever.
You rock, M.
I havent sported the ‘fro since elementary school… Not even the shag. I shorter, tighter version of the ‘fro. But much love to the people out there keepin’ them tight. Jew’fro… THAT is funny.
Only my closest friends get to see my untamed half-breed jewfro…took me over 40 years to learn how to embrace the kink instead of fighting it!
My half-breed jewfro tamed with my magic potion of 3 hair products can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/glsims99/46175243/in/set-256460/
How about the EuroFro? (Apologies to PPK)

Oh goodness, the EuroFro is genius. I knew PPK was a curly boy but his hair was decidedly not that ‘fro-ish when we met. Good one Drew!
Glenda: You tamed it too much
No ‘fro here, but jewfro for the win.
Molly,
I just started checking out your home on the web this past week and must say, it’s great! I am so happy to have caught on to the web standards movement over the last year. I lose so much sleep due to surfing about sites like yours and the many, gorgeous, other sites lingering about in portals like 9rules and css|beauty. Thanks so much for what you do and your inspiration!

A sign of carelessness with the power supply, perhaps?
I guess I qualify as a fro-bearer myself…

Myeah. It grows and curls and eats small children.
Yeah the semi-mousse tamed fro curls in the we05 photo are all natural, http://www.flickr.com/photos/wlonline/52574271/.
I remember my liberal mom in the 60’s taking me to a salon for black women, where they tried all sorts of goop and curling irons. Nothing worked. My sister used to iron my hair in the morning, between sheets of newspaper, but the humidity in New England would bring out the frizz before I got to the school door. And for awhile I tried rolling my hair on orange juice cans and taping it, until some one took a picture. now its just short and wild.
how about an afro puff?

it’s on the back of my head in that photo.
alas, my hair is now too long to stand in a proper ’70’s style, angela davis-style ‘fro. it’s more free-form.
Welsh Fro. It’s big and red.

Oh dear, there is always one isn’t there! I’m pretty sure that nobody is desperate to take you up on the offer ravi, and I seriously doubt that is your phone number. How mature.
