The '''Demoman's Fro''' (Also given the name "'''Demofro'''") is an unlockable headwear item for the [[Demoman]]. It appears as an afro hairstyle with a team-colored headband. The Demoman's Fro, with its small size and headband, is intended to resemble the afro worn by rock legend [[wikipedia:Jimi_Hendrix|Jimi Hendrix]], rather than the oversized "disco" fro.
