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.

I liked the flat iron & eyeliner look on him!
For a minute I thought it was Arnold Horshack!
ACCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!NO NO NO!
No wonder the kid looks TERRIFIED ! let’s all pitch in and send him another flat iron !!!!!!!!!!!!
His jeans are ridiculous, but the hair I like.
really loving the evolution of wentz. this is one of those cases where having a child motivated him to end the extended adolescence and man up. good for him.
He looks like Kevin Jonas’ mini-me. Not a good look, but at least he’s not trying so hard. Kid is adorable.
Wow – didn’t love the flat-iron look but I suddenly appreciate it a lot more.
I apologize ahead of time for being so critical, but PW seems to have the shortest legs.
p.s. any rocker who can carry a sippy cup in public is okay in my book.
He looks even douchier than before!
Flat iron or not, he is still fugly, a douche bag and part of an awful.
@ Oi

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA! YES! you beat me too it. b4 reading the cap, i could have sworn that was the married jonas’ brother. lol
hey, leave pete alone…ain’t nuthin wrong with his…um, fro. 😆
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.
Is that a wig?
fug. looks like son of sam jr.
he should get a “Brazilian blow out” where they put keratin in your hair and keeps it straight for around 6 months….I agree that any rocker that carries a sippy cup is OK for me.
Terrible hair, cute kid.
Aww, it’s the very small amount of his Jewish heritage showing up. Jewfro for life!
Bronx is a cutie, Pete, not so much.
love this man and his sweet kid.. the mom bugs the heck out of me.. so does her sister!! BUT that is ONE CUTE KID!
I’m not hating the hair..
Maybe he is finally embracing this mothers blackness? He is biracial afterall.
he should just shave his head.
worse. lol at the Arnold Horshack reference…I was going to say a lighter-skinned Juan Epstein.
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.
I have to say that went ashlee was preggo, I was kind of scared of what their spawn would look like. He is actually adorable though. Pete looks better, but he still doesn’t look great.
He looks like a different person, I guess it takes time to get used to seeing him like this. Maybe if he would cut it lower it would look better but the skinny jeans got to go.
He looks like a Jonas Brother now
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.
much better.
Hollowdoll: LOL that was my first thought too.
LOL @Hollowdoll!
@jinni: I totally agree. I was thinking of flat ironing my hair today for the first time in about 6 months, but I think now I’m not going to. Let the cowlicks, corkscrews and frizz do their thing!
God, he’s hilarious!
Now if we can just get him to stop wearing Ashlee’s skinny jeans. He’s 30 years old. I wish he’d dress like it!!!
LMAO! oh no, please go back to the flat iron….NOW!
I can’t believe how many people preferred the douchey, high maintenance, emo, straight iron look.
This is WAY cooler.
Embrace all natural hair types people.
Certainly there is something between Flat Iron Douche and Frizzy Fro Beast that doesn’t offend the eyes?
There’s no improving on how he looks. His hair should be the least of his worries.
He looks like the married Jonas brother…
Looks like he is wearing a chia pet on his head.
Thanks NYMOM10024….thought I saw his parents on Biography not realizing he was bi-racial. Glad he is embracing his natural fro
I think he and his wife are a great couple and I always thought he was super cute but now that he has different hair he looks so different, way nerdy..not a good look at all! Go back to your old look! Where’s wifey lately?
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.
his natural hair is better than the flat ironed, douchey emo look. not exactly good, but better.
I like the look.
He should do dreads like Charles on TMZ. He could pull it off.
The worst look I’ve ever seen..seriously.
Hey, Hey, Mr. Car-ter!
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 🙂
He looks like Carmine-The Big Ragu from Laverne & Shirley.
Aw, every guy looks good when he’s carrying a cute kid.
Aww my son has the same cup. I think his hair just needs a shape up.
Cute kid. They look happy, so I guess that’s all that matters?? Or maybe not, he looks like a dork
Divorced Dad hair.
WORSE. PERIOD.
LOL x10,000,000,000,000,000
Relax that shit! I hate to imagine his pubes good grief…
I think he should cut it down to get rid of the frizz or go back to flat ironing.
still a good dad, that boy looks just like his mom..cutie
He looks so much better now! Yay for natural.
Much better now! He looks more manly and less “old teen”.
NOT A FAN of the new hair !! i too prefer the flatiron / eyeliner look.
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.
Yep…he’s looking like he has no time for anything anymore, now that he’s a father. That’s reality, folks! Crazy kinky hair, but it works on him.
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, on the other hand, will fight my hair until the day I die!
I just figured it out:
It looks like young Bob Dylan hair.
I think that’s why I like it.
haha he looks like a Jonas
1) Shave that shiz
2) Tell me that child DOESN’T look like Jessica Simpson.
The flat ironing was a bit ridiculous, but so is looking like a Jonas. I agree, cut it shorter!
Looks like one of the Jonas Bros.
Jesus. WORSE. The flat-ironed look wasn’t great but it’s 10 times better than this mess.
Next comes the dreads.
He irritates me. So does his stupid wife. Ugh.
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?
It’s very sad to see how freaked out ppl get when they see someone sporting natural hair that is not straight. Why should he have to straighten it just because you don’t like how he looks natural?!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA HAHAAA!
this just made my day! hahahaha
I thought it was one of the Jonas’ Brothers, too! Ha ha!
Well I wasn’t a huge fan of the flat ironing but that hair ages him about 20 years. He needs to cut it short and keep it neat if he doesn’t want to do the flat ironing …
Pete’s hair seems to ask some help. Something’s hearing like a big traumatize! A terrible ugly twist between afro and Elvis banana! So weird!
I think the same thing about Bronx’s in about one or two years becoming like Kingston!
Damn it!
Good thing the baby looks like his mom.
My hair is frizzy and fly-away, which I hate, so I hate his hair by default also.
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?
OMG he looks so awful! Anyone remember Rudy from the ancient TV show Room 222?
I think its the bad combo of afro AND sideburns. He should just shave it off/trim it down like Justin Timberlake did.
*shudder*
Much better. And Bronx is really cute (I never say that about celeb kids, but he really is)
My Husband has very curly hair and it looks to me like he just needs the right product to turn the frizz into curls.
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.
“Oh My! Wherever did that come from??!!”
LOL!! He looks like the younger brother from Royal Pains.
I’m not really digging the fro. If he wants to go “au naturel” why doesn;t he just cut his hair very short?
I am totally showing my age here, but he looks like the love child of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel…
Ahaha! He looks like a Jonas brother.
He has the torso of a 6’2″ lanky man, and the lower body of Shia Labeouf. Gross.
Hey,my Chi died a year ago. At least he’s got his priorities in order. Kid first!
He looks like a Jonas brother.
It is a perm and he is gay.. I love gay men.. I just wish he would admit it..
GROSS.
P.S. The Jonas brothers comments are cracking me up, we should count how many people said that, LOL!
Such a fun, LOL post and comments!
Someone mentioned “perm” and I couldn’t help it, I thought, “Magic Curl Barbie” (circa 1980s)

😀
I love him. I think he looks great. And I love Ashlee. And I love them together and I love them with their baby. Who is totally adorable. I love this family.
HAHAHAAAAAA! Someone, please get him a GHD!!
He needs to shave it. I’d be interested to see how he could pull off the military crop look!
With such a bad hair he could shave it
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. He still looks like a douchebag.
Eww he is still well cute and well adorable xxx but i prefered his emo look the ‘guy’liner and straight hair 🙂 Love his clothes tho. I love Pete Wentz
