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.

You have discovered the principle that makes dimpled golf
balls travel very much further than the old, smooth golf
balls. All bodies moving through a fluid shed vortices.
There is more energy dissipated in a few large vortices
than in many more small vortices. Your clown cut generates
small weak vortices, and your chrome dome generates large
energy sucking vortices.
