If I were Prince I would:

1. Go full-on Captain Picard
2. Wail on the guitar
3. Kick somebody in the ass
4. Hop in the limo and peel out.

Huh?

He had his hair cropped up the sides and the back during that period. That's done to hide the plugs you removed from those areas.

You mean like this? I thought that was just a fashion statement.

If Prince had hair transplants, one would see the scars on the sides/back of his head, which he never had. Prince has a full head of hair that's been professionally kept for years. His hair is probably healthier than anyone on this forum.

I love how this thread so quickly reverted to quips and punnery. This is why I stick with this fandom.

a few years ago i had a discussion with my genetics doctor (for my son) and i joked about not losing my hair yet - and he said IT HAS MORE TO do wiTH YOUR MOThers DAD .... it is genetic .

well my moms dad had a full set of hair . my dads dad didnt . so . we shall see .

i am approaching 50 and well i am getting grey

Thank you Col! I was like dayum did URRRBODY on the org skip biology LOL. the bald gene comes from the maternal side of the family! But yeah, he'll cop a wig and rock on! I think he's thinning more so than balding.

But as for Col, if you're 50 and not bald yet, you're good. Your barber can tell in your 20s if baldness is in the cards for you.

Had a quick scan, didn't look like anyone said it...'Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bald...', anyone know what his paternal grandpa's hair was like?

I didn't know Rihanna had a hair problem above her lips.

Well, "She's Always In My Hair" will be off the setlist, that's for sure.

DLR shaved his head, he played Dave Grohl's bday bash last month and he's gone chrome dome!

look at all the rock stars who aren't even thinning and you know they had preventive work done when they were in their 20's cos there's no way that many men could defy the avergae odds of thinning hair and/or balding. The odds are against them...

Actually it is all quite hereditary - thought to be a recessive gene on from the mother. My father is pushing 70 and had as much hair as he had the day I was born. THere are no bald headed men in my family at any age.

That's no longer considered to be the primary cause.

the org hits a new low!

What do you think will happen? The world will end? Jeez..

I wonder about this alot as I age with Prince. When I discovered himin the 70s, we were boys. I have gotten old with him through parts of the last 5 decades. You can tell he is holding onto what is probably his biggest physical tradework - his hair. THe only artist cooler than Prince was Miles Davis and he resorted to an outlandish nead of false hair that actually started looking cool on him. But that was Miles. I dont want to see Prince with a wig or clean-headed. But I surely dont want to see him sporting the George Jefferson either - though I am sure he is entirely too vain for that. Time comes for everyone - evne Prince.

He already is balding. That fro is NOT real.

While you are correct in stating that he is balding, you are incorrect in stating that the fro is not real. The fro is 100% real and the fact that he is balding is the reason that he grew a fro. It gives an appearance of having fuller hair. When your hair thins like his has, you simply cannot keep curling it and straitening it without it looking very thin. When you see him with a lot of backlight the fro looks very thin. I applaude him for not wearing a stupid looking wig and trying to remain natural. The fro is not his best look, but sadly, if he wants to keep the real hair look, it's his only option.

I would go apeshit if his next 'hairdo' would be ALL BALD.

That would be some BOLD shit.

But we all know Princey is too attached to his coupe, just like so many of his 'fans'.

The hairy ones, always smash the picture

he could just simply get a hair weave or hair transplant nowadays,there's no reason for any man to go bald

I don't believe Prince is wearing any wigs. He never has.

Actually he used to have rather cool hair imo.

However: anything is cooler than his current afro "hairstyle".

Prince hair 1978 to 2013:

I am inclined to agree. White people don't understand black hair like black people do (and, for some of the fans of European decent, Prince IS black). It is the one true difference between the races.

What is a coupe?

Baldness comes from the mother's side. His dad's hair has no effect on Prince's hair.

If his grandfather on his mother's side was/is bald then you might have somehting to worry about since everyone is so concerned about things that are meaningless.
