Eric Andre says he finds brushing his hair is too time consuming, when asked about it by Larry King. https://youtu.be/7XR4Ml8FijM (11:45)

This question by Larry to Eric about his hair is mentioned in Eric's interview with Talib Kweli. https://youtu.be/irzhJ4mLMF0 (28:36)

If you're an Eric Andre fan, these are both must-watch interviews.

Yeah, if you don't comb (not really brush as a brush wouldn't detangle) afro-textured hair of that length, it will clump up like that. And afro-textured hair isn't meant to be combed or brushed daily. The less it's manipulated the healthier it is as frequent manipulation can cause breakage. That's why you'll see some people with afro-textured hair keep their hair in braids or twists or locs if they want to look more what is considered "presentable" while also protecting their hair from breakage. These are called protective styles. Braiding and twisting takes time though that Eric Andre probably doesn't want to spend and locs are kinda permanent. If his hairstlye works best for his lifestyle, I think that's good. It's better for people to see the different ways afro-textured hair can exist in its natural state because I think such exposure without ridicule can lead to further acceptance.

Edit: Thank you for sharing those interview links!
