Jaÿ-Z’s Hair Journey From Dreadlocks to Afro Unfolds in New Beyoncé-Narrated Video
Beyoncé is giving fans an intimate look at Jaÿ-Z’s hair transformation from locs to an afro in a new mini documentary.
On Monday (June 22), Bey's Cécred hair brand shared the video, titled The Blueprint, to their YouTube channel. The seven-minute clip documents Hov’s decision to comb out his signature locs after growing them for over eight years. He ditched them instead for the afro he debuted at the Roots Picnic last month.
"Everyone wants to know the details of Jay’s hair transformation," Bey starts, before revealing that the decision was made in homage to Hov's late father.
"Jay told me a few months ago he was planning on combing out his locs for the Philly show with The Roots," she said. "He wanted to do this in honor of his father. His name was Adnis Reeves and his favorite sports team was from Philly. His dad used to rock a ’fro, so he wanted to rock a ’fro in his honor."
