The Side Eye: 'Africa Is Where Your Hair Grows Fast'


K.Will, a South Korean singer, recently returned from Africa with braids. He said of the experience: "I’m back! Leaving behind regrets and [I'm] healthy. After arriving, I’m at peace. The continent of Africa on the other side of the globe is one where your hair grows quickly!” Does he know he sounds nuts? His 'before' pic is below. As one OKA contributor put it: "OH THE HAIRORR!!!!." (via allkpop).
