When it comes to artists carried or bolstered by strong appearances, nothing comes higher than Waynes deads. they're such a strong part of his identity that when you look at him they don't even really register as a hairstyle, but as biological as his skin or face; it can't be changed. Really wish new-age rappers would start taking after the dreadlocks wave instead of the face tats.

Wayne is up there. Snoop and Coolio are a couple others where you could just see the top of their heads and know who it is

Dreads braided to the back.
I’m chillin...but my swag on full attack

Yes

Trying to imagine Wayne without the dreads is like a lion without its mane

does 2pac bald head count as a hairstyle

Wayne the most copied rapper ever.

2pac bald head.

Future’s dreads better 😉

Wayne’s dreads obviously iconic

Ngl I was thinking the very same thing as I made this thread lol. I wouldn't call it a hairstyle, but the lack thereof, but hes definitely the icon of shiny head rappers

Iconic dreads
