The Jewfro (or Jew-Fro, Jewish Afro, Isro) is Judaism's take on the Afro. The hairstyle is characterized by a large amount of curly hair. Some examples of people who have had Jewfros are Gabe Kaplan, Dustin Diamond, and Art Garfunkel.
The term has its roots in the 1960s and 1970s when many prominent figures were described as sporting the hairstyle. The Los Angeles Times called Scott Marcus college football's flower child with “golden brown hair... in ringlets around his head in what he calls a Jewish afro style”.
The NY Times in a 1971 article on Harvard’s “hairy” basketball team, wrote that Captain Brian Newmark, “hasn’t had a haircut since last May and his friends have suggested his hairdo is a first cousin to the Afro...in the case of the Jewish Junior from Brooklyn, though, the bushy dark hair that is piled high on his head has been called an Isro." Novelist Judith Rossner was described in a Chicago Tribune profile as the “grown-up Wunderkind with an open, oval face framed by a Jewish Afro."
