What Michael Jackson wore in The Wiz (4)

I believe the answer is:

afro

(Other definitions for afro that I've seen before include "Tightly-curled 4 down" , "Hair cut" , "configuration of locks" , "Hairstyle adopted by the young Michael Jackson" , "Type of 18" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
