Rapper Wiz Khalifa stepped onto the scene with hit song "Black and Yellow" 2 years ago, with an influence unrivaled by mainstream rappers his senior. He changed the way teenage culture viewed hair, creating trends of afros and longer hair with colored patches. For the New Year 2013, Wiz Khalifa has another new black hairstyle.

DREADS! Wiz Khalifa now has dreads!

Releasing several photographs with his child-carrying wife Amber Rose since Christmas, it's become apparent Pittsburgh's golden child has morphed his afro hair. Wiz Khalifa has gotten his hair twisted to begin, what black haircare bloggers believe is the dreading process.

Is Wiz Khalifa going Snoop Lion? Is the stoner turning rastafarian before our eyes? Likely the answer is no. However, this could lead to another generation of dread-heads, like those influenced by Lil Wayne just 5 years ago.

Keeping the 'steelers yellow' patch in his hair, one can only guess if Wiz Khalifa will keep the entire dread colored long-term. Perhaps his he'll transcend the dreads world by blending the Big Daddy Kane style with long-flowing strings of hair.
