Pete Wentz changed his hair over a week ago, but these are the first photos of his new style that we’ve had access to. Remember how Pete was stuck in flat-iron hell for… well, pretty much as long as he’s been famous (five years? Longer?). So it looks like Pete’s new “look” is to finally kill his flat iron (or donate it to The Jennifer Aniston Flat-Iron Foundation) and let his hair go natural. Who knew that Pete’s natural hair was such a frizzy hot mess?
That being said, I do prefer the white-boy afro to the mess that Pete used to have. Pete used to look like he never bathed, and just applied new layers of eyeliner and grease product on top of the old layers, all in lieu of bathing. Now he actually looks kind of clean. And he also looks like Mr. Middle-American Daddy At the Park. It’s rather nice.
Also, I can’t help it, I think Bronx is adorable. I don’t really care for his parents, but that kid got the best of his mom and dad.

Um, he needs the flat iron! Or a different cut. Something!
This is coming from a black woman with natural hair (I alternate between twists and afros), so I’m not bias about it!
He just needs to figure out how he wants to wear it. The way he has it now doesn’t look so great. Not everyone can get away with the “wash and go” look.

I feel like that’s a perm….or in addition to the flat iron he had it chemically relaxed? Because it’s going to be VERY hard to get a straightener close enuf to your scalp to straighten this mess out as much as he did without completely burning himself in the process….
If i’m wrong – this kid needs to give me tips – because even straightening my “bangs trauma” is a massive pain because I have to get so close to my scalp.

his current hair shows us just how fug he really is. and for the love of all that is holy, DITCH THE SKINNY JEANS. (though I hate those ads, the Miller Lite one with the guy in the skinny jeans is funny…”sort of like your gf doesn’t care that you borrow her jeans?”)
and that child is adorable.

Let him rock his natural hair pattern. Goodness knows that people with curly hair get enough crap from the media telling them that their hair is wild, unprofessional, undesirable, and just plain ugly (especially people with coarser/tighter curls).
Just look at all of those movie were the girl is only deemed attractive after she straightens her hair. The only curls that seem to be accepted are the kind that involve a curling iron.
I wish society would see that there is nothing wrong with having hair like this.

I wasn’t a fan of the flat ironed look (on ANY man for that matter — Keith Urban anyone?), but he looks like Rob Schneider in Deuce Bigalow. Shaving it close might be a better option. And the skinny jeans have got to go.

I’m late to the show because until now I had no idea he was biracial, and a big part of that is because of his former hair.
He needs some kind of help with taming the natural but good for him that he is going back to it

I had no idea he was mixed raced. He was completely in hiding with that flat iron!
However, I didn’t know Slash was biracial for years. He’s also a musician, so eh. Won’t give Wentz the side eye for that. Actors put more of their personal lives out there than musicians do.

Well ok flat ironed it looked a little better BUT i always prefer guys natural so i applaud this look and like it. Anytime he doesnt act or dress as feminine as he usually does its better.
I think he should cut it down and wear it naturally. He could find a hairdresser to give him great shorter cut where it would lay flat without him having to flat iron it.
He looks like he could be Bruce Springsteins son =)

And so begins the slow, downward spiral. Just kidding…but he should trim that thing down a bit.

I’ve got hair almost as curly/frizzy as his, and all he has to do is get a really short cut a la Timberlake and he’d look great.

I so dislike the curly-curl hair on him! He should just cut them real short and keep them under control.
Anywho, can I ask a very dumb question? It just seems that every single American child has really blond hair, even if the parents don’t, and then changes to dark hair when growing up. Does anybody know why? Is it the sun? Is it he genes?

Merry- Well not every single child has blonde hair. I think Ashley may be a blonde she just dyes her hair a lot.
Maybe their parents had light colored hair when they were younger too? The sun usually lightens hair.
I have black hair, my husband has brown and my daughter has red. Weird, huh?

Bronx is a cutie but it’s kinda funny when people who have alterd their looks have kids.
What do you say when they inherit your pre-surgery nose or unflat-ironed hair. Not to extreme in this case but it could be very obvious with some people.
