"Everybody just knew to be clean because we were hanging around him and he was clean at all
times so we were clean," Berry added. Prince's hair has changed dramatically over the years, from
long, wavy locks to an up-do to a full afro, which Berry said played into his wanting to blur gender
lines.
"He wore more hairstyles then most women would ever try," she said. "He wore it all the way across
the spectrum from pony tails all the way to wraps from cuts to finger waves so he didn't have no
boundaries." For the most part though, she said he was "pretty much laid back" about his hair.

"He knew what he wanted and he had a feel of what he wanted himself to look like," she said. "He
would let me do my thing so that was the beautiful part about it -- he would throw an idea out
there and I would just run with it."
Berry went on to talk at length about what Prince was like
in private. As a vegan, she said the artist would encourage
those around him to be vegan as well, but she said he
also liked to eat sweets and drink green ginger tea.
"We always kept in our pockets, those lollipops, tootsie roll
lollipops, that was a must," she said. Prince was "incredibly
smart" and a "kind of mystical guy," she said. Beautiful
women were around all the time, Berry said, but Prince
would also invite other people's families over and enjoyed
having lengthy discussions on religion. "He wanted to teach, he wanted to impart his knowledge
into you, and I thought that was such a beautiful thing," she said.
