It's pretty obvious from some of his recent pictures he is thinning. You can't have a wig on and look thin on top. I heard from some people around during Purple Rain (and who knew Earl- the guy who did his hair) that he did have a wig on in some scenes because they did some pick up shots right after he had bleached his hair (which is what you see on the cover of ATWIAD- he was spotted at nightclubs with that look in Miami).... that it started breaking really badly. It is what also precipitated the Raspberry Beret look cause that's as much of his hair had grown back in.

You can be thinning and have a hair piece.

no that's his hair.

Everyone claimed P wore a hair piece in purple rain era and the curls were synthetic looking LOL.

I don't see why everyone thinks his hair was fake it's not like his hair looked like THIS

He'd have had to have hair to thin. BALD!!!

he isnt bald! he is 53 for god sake, most people start to go bald before that! he still has plenty of hair, more then my dad, and he is 48.

Right! Male Pattern Baldness is eivdent early in a man's 20's. If Prince were balding it would've been very apparent by his late 30's at least. Sure, he's probably had some extra pieces sewn in from time to time. Most celebrities do these days. In fact Prince has a pretty good head of hair for a 53 year old man who has been perming his hair for more than 30 years. I'm sure he takes care of his hair as well as he takes care of himself. Prince appears to be in very good shape, and in good health.

did he use them regularly? extensions YES (Graffiti bridge)

Wigs? Not sure. I know he used wigs from time to time. But the ones I can think of were not meant to be taken as his real hair. (like the old man get up "come on" video and at the GQ awards)

All I know is that I loved his hair during this era. It appears to have added hair but, hey, I don't mind because he looks GOOD with it. biggrin

I don't see a break line for the weave. Usually you see that. Unless everyone thinks he had next to NO heir and it's ALL a weave. Take a look at Lovesexy era. That all seems to be his and it's long.

I believe Prince has a head full of hair. I think he's FAR from bald. It's just the way the hair appears to be two different textures in the attached photo. If you look at the hair as it flow to his chin, it looks the same. Once it begins dropping pass his chin and to his shoulder it appears to change in texture, at least to me. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me lol

C'mon, y'all. Prince went from weird and clumpy in his pre-Purple Rain days to being a darn-near Dark N' Lovely poster boy since. He's clearly been using "help" to augment his length for years.

Even I can see this isn't all his hair here:

Yo, I'm sorry but everytime I see this picture I can't help but notice the lady on the right {in the blue} looking like she 'bout ready to morph into a monster or something. I know she pissed they have that pic of her. lol

Prince is not bald, barely thinning. His hair is very real and never used extensions. When you get your hair done by a professional like he did (Earl Jones) in the 80's and early 90's, your hair will grow with the quickness cause you're constantly cutting the dead ends which will make your hair grow and flow.

Some people also believe in Father Christmas and that the Smurfs really do exist...it's a choice that I respect.
