Braid My Hair…Or Not: Famous Men We Were Glad To See Let Their Cornrows Go
Ludacris
The biggest transformation might be a tie between Trey Songz and Ludacris. The rapper often sported his braids (in a variety of designs) and huge fro all the time to events and in videos, but in 2006 he traded the look for a traditional fade. I can’t say that it helped his career (I think his music was more popular when he had the braids), but he looks great!
