Default Does an afro affect wind resistence?

I'm proud to be the new Clown in town! Think my "fro" will "slow" me down?

Default Does an afro affect wind resistence?

I have an afro, too, but only around the edges because I have a big
bald spot on top, We call it the "Bozo The Clown Look". Well, anyway,
I did some wind tunnel tests of my head with the afro and without, and
found that my shaved head had a higher coefficient of drag than it did
with the afro! Apparently the afro channels the air over the bald spot
in a very efficient manner. So if you want to reduce your wind
resistance, get a picture of Bozo the Clown and emulate it.
