Hair during Purple Rain period is not his

Watching Purple Rain on an Ipad makes it painfully obvious that this amazing look was with the help of extensions.I know this has been debated forever but the clarity of the video on the Ipad makes Princes hair look without question artificial. If anyone has some inside info that could prove otherwise I'd love to hear it. In any case it's actually very disappointing. I thought for years it was real.

Hmm. How common were hair extentions in 1984? I mean, were celebrities routinely sporting weaves then?

when i met my husband his hair was near on similar & he didn't wear a wig so i guess it's unlikely prince needed one?

I know it's not a wig but it's not all natural. You can really tell in contrast to the other actors in numerous scenes. Invest in an Ipad and you'll be sure too.

wtf are you rambling on about the Ipad? Why do you think it has magical properties? Any high definition monitor would show the same thing. Stop drinking the apple koolaid.

What? His hair in PR was not natural but 'extended'?

OK, so I can't like that album anymore. Same for everything done during that period. Period.

Ummm, there's absolutely nothing special about the iPad screen. Its not any more clear than any other display. In fact, the resolution is far lower than most modern monitors/TV's so the idea it would reveal some heretofore unknown secret of Prince's 'do seems rather unlikely. lol

^This.

And your first mistake was buying an ipad which will most likely be outdated in a few months. lol

Secondly, who gives a flying fuck? razz

Just kidding, but seriously. In basing your argument off of your interpretation of what you think you see, I'm not inclined to find you credible wink

This should be an apple ad! See the weave... see the glue...

I dunno, the movie theater cinema screen has better color and resolution than blu-ray on a plasma, led, lcd, (HD) or Ipad (Ipad might be super bright though as a viewing device, brighter than it should be)

And most people saw this in the theater back in the day. Anything fake would show up even more on the big screen.

But who knows, could be some extensions hot glued in there! How can you tell? Seams?

I have a plasma tv with HD. I saw it in the theater and nothing is as obvious as when you view it on an ipad which is right up close to your face. Personally I dislike Jobbs and the Apple business model as well but they're hardware is still much better than any other brand I've tried.

People really don't know black hair, textures, relaxers, and the benefit of having a damn good hair dresser at your beckon call. Get a clue.

Some people(Prince)have a good head of hair. He may not have the best hair dresser now, like Earl Jones in the 80's and early 90's, but when you have a good hair dresser your hair will grow like wildfire.
