Lil Yachty Explains Why He Got Rid of His Famous Red Braids

by Daryl Nelson

Lil Yachty just released his Lil Boat 3 album at the same time he ditched his red hair.

He talked about the change with Highsnobiety after some thought the new black hair meant a change in his music. 

"Honestly, it was hard to maintain," Yachty explained. "The bleach was literally killing my hair. My hair was just dying. It's growing now. That's all. It's just hair. I just kept it red because I loved it. But it kept falling out. It never would grow." 

"I think sometimes people just assume things are a lot more complex," he added. "In my world, it's just not that deep, bro. It's just music. It's all fun to me. There's no strategy behind it, like, 'Oh, his hair was red, it's black now. [He's] making evil rap music.' It's not like that."

Are you glad that Yachty ditched the red hair?
