Lenny Kravitz is an American retro rocker. He is half Jewish, half black, and half white with most black men's hair texture. Because most black hair is coarse, tightly curly, & need more maintenance than straight hair type, short hairstyles are their favorite style.
To achieve Lenny afro hair, you need to keep all around (top, sides, & back) in the same length. Tightly curly, coarse, & thick hair are required for best afro look.
Dreadlocks tied back with medium sideburns make his appearance stylish & chic, although it is little harder to maintain long dreadlocks.

Paul Garred has cool hair. Please look at his style and tell me how to get it like that. Thanks!
Good site btw.
yeah his hair goes into hall of fame, definitely, along with brad pitt
I'm just wondering how Lenny Kravitz can be half jewish, half black and half white because there's one more 'half' there than fits! lol
Half Jewish, half black, half white, and half not good at fractions.
Lenny Kravitz's mother was black, his father was jewish, maybe that is what the owner of the blog meant with all of the halves.
What's a black man's hair texture? I wasn't aware that a certain texture was exclusive to Black men. For the record, not all Black people have coarse, tightly coiled hair. And that is certainly not the reason why they opt to wear shorter hairstyles. What kind of ignorance is that?
it's not ignorance, merely a generalisation, as it is common for african americans to have a coarser or rougher hair texture as opposed to many other races such as anglo-caucasians or those of Spanish decent. It is a genetic fact, i can't be bothered looking up the facts but im sure you can find them, i recall watching it in a documentary. I don't think its fair on anyone nor do i think it promotes equality (which is ultimately what the majority of Human-kind is striving for [i believe]) when people cry sexist or racist at even the most fickle of evidence. A fear of being penalised for expressing a view is deconstructive to what fantastic equal rights activists like Martin L. K have fought for. I believe the forums for debate which were established to provide equal discussion and debate are the best ways of influencing someone into sense, Im sure some people live with an inherent racism that comes from growing up or experiences in life, but rather than calling them a racist or a sexist and immediately thinking they're below you, as they think of others, trying to educate them is the way!
he is hot
Martin Luther King was a racist, and what is the white race? I've never understood the white race. We have the Spanish, (white) the Asians, (white) the Jewish, (white) the Cubans, (white) Hawaiian (white) etc. And then we have the blacks and the whites.
Anyway, I believe what he meant to say is that he has half afro hair and half non-afro hair.
since when is "black" a religion?? The person should have said half-Jewish and half whatever else he is not black. it's very rude and offensive to many people!
being half black, half white, and half jew is possible. If you have white jewish parent and a black parent, you fit the description.
We don't actually call Jews "white". compared to blacks, yeah, they have fairer skin, but we don't call them that. "White" usually means European. We call Spanish people "Hispanic". some people call Indians "brown" but some call them "black" too. And Asians are also white, but some ppl call them "yellow" but i believe that's considered offensive. So actually there's a lot of colors for different races. and by the way, there is nothing racist about saying african/ african americans have tight, coarse curls. that's like saying asians have straight, black hair, or that the irish have more red-haired ppl than most races. it's just true! if a black man doesn't have coarse, curly hair, it's because he had a big genetic influence of another race in his lineage.
Why turn everything to race, racism or racist, I believe the blog is to discuss different hairstyles for black men not African Americans. Which unfortunately hasn't help me much at all. You Bloody Racist.lol
Lenny Kravitz is hot with dreads!!!!
HE HAS NO WHITE IN HIS BLOOD. HE IS HALF BLACK AND HALF UKRANIANN JEWISH WHICH EXPLAINS WHY HIS SKIN TONE RESEMBLES THAT OF A LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK PERSON.
The poster was trying to say that one parent is black, the other is a Caucasian Jew.
Also, the Spanish are also referred to as Caucasian. Hispanic actually refers to Latin Americans.
WHO CARES WHAT HE IS, THIS IS 2008! GO READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING!
WHO CARES!!!!!!! lol im half black half greek big whoop! go get laid or resd a book or plant a tree or somethin lol
To the person that said MLK was a racist... FUCK YOU!!!!! That is all.
*clears throat*...Umm...just breaking the silence...
You people need to get a life. I was just on here browsing hair styles and was almost immediately disrupted by a novel-long race discussion of a celebrity.
How about we all care more about ourselves and not make such a big deal of someone else.. or argue with the pedestrian comments and the ignorant idiocy spewing from the mouths of the horders of uneducated internet surfers.
That is all.
i wish i had hair like lenny...
i love brad pitt and vote him to be the best Celebrity Hairstyles 2009.
i also ask my boyfriend to follow his hair style..
sometime i dream about bradpitt... lol!
Well, fxxk me if I'm wrong but I think that the author of this blog meant to say that Lenny is half Black half Jew, which he is (that's an awesome mix BTW). And to the person who said not all black people have tightly coiled hair: True. But enough of us do to generalize. And yes because of the hair texture most blacks wear their hair short so that it is easier to manage. If my hair were tightly coiled I'd wear my hair short or in dreads so that I wouldn't have to spend hours styling my hair every morning. Gosh why cause an argument over something so stupid when you know damn well it's true? Sheesh. I tell you about people who have nothing better to do but throw the race card all day. And who said hispanic and Asian were white? Whoever did is a moron. I think you need to complete junior high before you post about this subject again. Anyway, Lenny Kravitz has/had really cool hair (I think now he still has it cut super short which looks a mess) and is smoking hot. Almost as hot as Travis Mccoy and Billie Joe. Man I love rockers!!!
does it even matter, his hair is what this blog is about. Why bother to leave unrelated comments.
I am Half black and half white and iam as white as jason kidd but my hair less curly and less kinky but i can wear it in a afro? People please tell me what i shuld do wit my hair!
I luv dredz
I luv Lenny

BeautifulSoul:
I have "tightly coiled hair" and I wear a huge afro. All long hair is a bitch to deal with I dont care if its tightly coiled, loosely curly or straight .
Also spanish people are not white. Thats why there are called hispanic or latino. There enough of them that arent white that they have there own label.
how can you be half black half white and half jewish you can ony be 100% not 150 hes part of all these things lol
Can anybody tell me how to grow that afro on Kravitz. Where it's not Richard Pryorish but all soft and wavy and stuff? Like Will Smith's sons?
Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is sinful.
If we equated ignorance with sinfulness, we would be more inclined to conduct independent research into the origins of our current beliefs and practises.
No wonder this country is in such a mess, too much greed and the need for self satisfaction, all based on the lack of knowledge and understanding.
Boy, I wish that we just cared a little more!!!
lyndon,I strongly agree with you...
omg ur all dumb fuckers those that said how can he be 3 halfs the guy meant half black half jewish white .... and a lot of you are arguing over such dumb things grow up jesus i bet most of u ppl starting the arguments are white gosh!!!
Since some people have nothing better to do...let's set the story straight. Mr. Kravitz is 1/2 black & 1/2 white (Jewish is a religious preference). BUT WHO REALLY CARES?!?! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HAIR!! I have locs and wanted to know if anyone has seen some styles for them. Normally I wear them straight down, tied back, or in a ponytail, BUT I like to have a little flair for the Holidays. Please post any suggestions you may have.....IT'S ABOUT THE HAIR, REMEMBER?? Peace & Blessings, DeeDee
Hairstyle: You can wear them (locs) cornrowed, halfway or all the way to the back. I've seen some men and women wear a couple rows in their hair. Some men with locs also fade the sides and front and wear the rest back in a pony tail or out. This is best if you have a good thick hairline to show the edged effect of your hair. here is a website that may be of help.http://www.naturalbrotha.com/Home_Page.html
First off to the person who said that they can tell that he is half black and half white just because he is light-skinned is stupid and needs to stfu. I hate to hear/read such ignorance like that. Both of my parents are African-American and may I add neither one is light-skinned and guess what, I'm light-skinned (yellow is what the black community calls it). Not all light-skinned blacks ar directly mixed you moron. Most of us are not. And more bi-racial people come out darker brown than alot of us also. Another thing, yes the hell we do have coarse hair. Its a known fact you idiots. Everyone knows us Africsn American have a different hair texture than whites, hispanics, asians, indians, etc. Get over it! Hence the fact that we can braid out hair and lock it without it unraveling like you wannabe's etc. Get your minds off racial shit and grow up. Just like Asians have black straight hair, we have coarse, tightly curled, kinky, however you wanna put it, hair! I didnt say all but most of us do to generalize it. You dumbasses!
Oh my god, is this all you guys do is sit at home judging celebrities hairstyles, i cant even look at descent hairstyles without a fucking page long blog on this and that! Get a fucking life!!!!!!!! And to all you people who are just doing what i did and saw this page and said something similiar, great job on accomplishing the goal of life!!!! HAVE ONE YOU BASTARDS!!!!!!!!
how the hell u no black people like short hair mo then longer hair. maybe cause we don feel like keepin up wit longer hair. Shit since im black my favorite hairstyle is short. come on man thats racist as hell
I feel like as a African-american that its hard for us to have long hair and be expected in corp. america...also think about this why did GOD give everyone the same hair(whites,asians,spanish.ect) then when it comes to black ppl we have different then those races stated and why when we mix with any other race are Traits are more dominate??...
There is a Secret behind the black race!!!!
Some people posting on this blog are very stupid. The point is that many different ethnicities have different hair types. Asians and tend to have straight very straight hair. People of European descent do as well, but there are exceptions. "Spanish" which refers to Latinos are an ethnic category and not a race. Latinos can be black, white, Asian, native or a mixture of anything. Not all people of African descent have tightly coiled hair, but the majority of us do. There are also white people, and Latinos with tight, kinky, curly hair. People need to think before they make stupid ass comments.
Ok first off I love all of Lenny's hairstyles!
Secondly
-ALL long hair is a fuss. Tightly Coiled or not.
-Tightly coiled is not an insult. Nor is coarse. (Althought for some people that part could have been left out, because it can be deemed offensive) It's true and we should embrace it. My hair is tightly coiled and coarse. I take care of it though and it's long and HEALTHY coarse or not. But it feels nice to the touch.
-Spanish people from Spain are light skinned but not white. When talking about race most people will say white black and brown. Brown for hispanics and basically everyone that isn't white or black.
-Generalizations suck. We're all different.
I still LOVE lenny!
BLACKS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE COME FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF AFRICA JUST LIKE WHITES COME FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF EUROPE. SOME BLACK PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF AFRICA LIKE ETHIOPIA,MORROCO AND EGYPT HAVE DIFFERENT TEXTURES OF HAIR. JUST LIKE IN EUROPE MOST WHITES ARE NOT BORN WITH STRAIGHT HAIR THEY'RE BORN WITH THEIR HAIR CURLED WHICH MOST WHITES CREDIT THAT FROM BLACK BLOOD FLOWING THROUGH THEIR VEINS. REMEMBER PART OF EUROPE WAS CONQUERED BY A BLACK ASIATIC RACE CALLED THE MOORS. SO EDUCATE YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE YOU SPEAK ON A TOPIC.
Again, why does a certain hairstyle promote a race? It's the same with the idiotic idea of a certain sexual orientation being promoted from a certain hairstyle. It's getting tabooed now.
fucking great singer, great hair.. love him so much
grow up!!!!!
judaism is a religion and in some cases an ethnicity. it's very confusing but look it up. try "what is a jew"
It's amazing how an article about Lenny Kravitz's hair turns into a racial debate.
Suwarnaadi simply stated that black men [B]usually[/B], not all, have coarse, tightly curled hair and keep our hair short. Both statements are true.
I have hair like Kravitz in the second picturem i get stopped in the street by people that think i'm him, its so fun
dudes who want to be judging lenny like this should listen to that song by deathklok
"deathklok-fansong"
that song is totally mostly all of you!
stfu go get a job and get off ur COUCH JUDGING Celebs!
im african american/village.
i have a 2009 african american mohawk
with waves on the side of my hair
im going to be making my hair curly...how can i make it like lenny's 2nd pic and what kind of relaxer can i use yet affordable?
well has probably the most interesting personality of a singer. if you put all things next to each other. thats cool! black-jewish-white. that makes a cool whole.
being a african american...fudge it a black guy... welll jamaican..well whatever. i find it silly that people are getting heated up over the coarse hair thing.. black people have coarse curly hair.. you finding that vulgar means you have some interior stereotype thats conflicting you.. next up... theres absolutely nothing wrong with saying lenny kravitz is a black jew..because being jewish doesnt imply a religion really its just commonly accepted as being hebrew..so yup hes a black jew with ruff hair
Wow... I swear I can't go on a site with dreadlock styles and ideas without abunch of idiots argueing about races.. you all need to grow up, and set your differences aside and get along. Who gives a fuck if your black or white, your no diffrent.. I'm white and I have dreadlocks, and i dont give a fuck if someone tells me its black people hair, because its not you cant own a hair style alright? and this is coming from a 15 year old.. sad.
... His father is white AND jewish. Everything clear now?
I believe it is extremely stupid that people are still arguing till this day about this man's race. So he's mixed??? Who the hell in America isn't?? People took everyone else's comments way too seriously. Comments that are well over a year old. If someone decides to add their two cents after me then they need to get a life. Anyway his dreads are HOT!! And his hair texture clearly comes from the Jewish and African influenced decent. GO LENNY! With his fine a**.
Scientists say that there are 3 races:
1.Negroid(Africans and Australian Aborygeens)
2.Euroid( Caucasians, Semites{Jews,Arabs,}, Meditereans{Italians,Spaniards,Greeks}Indians{Hindu}
3.Mongoloid(Asians, Native Americans,Siberians)
Kravitz is half Negroid, half Euroid(Jewish).And yes, curly, tight coiled hair are exclusive to African genes, some Euroids have also curly hair, but much diferent.
Also Kravitz is totally hot due to being a racial mixture(when you mix different races, phisical traits are averaged to Aristotelean Golden Harmony of Beauty).
