Boy wonder Jaden Smith recently got a haircut. But fortunately, since one strand of his hair contains the infinite wisdom of galaxies not yet discovered by mankind, he held onto the dreads chopped off by his very embarrassing dad.

Now, his dreads have made their red carpet debut as an independent entity at the Met Gala.
