Interestingly, they did not reference fake hair in his autopsy (unlike MJ).

Good point!!!

Hi... Don’t think that means anything, necessarily … it only means that when he was found he didn’t have a wig/fake hair on, but they did say he had on a cap/hat (IIRC).

.

You can’t list all the negatives… items he didn’t have on when found, only what he DID have on. So he could have been wearing one in public prior to that time, but was not on the morning found.

JMHO

Kim Berry was asked directly on Facebook if P had ever worn hairpieces / wigs and she denied it categorically.

She did say that she did extensions. Around the 17:39

My daughter met him during the Saturday night live time... She was close up on him because she knows I'm a fan. I even named her after one his songs. She said that his hair was real and that his hair and fro looked really soft and taken care of. She was sure it was all his.

Cool. Did your daughter tell him, she was named after one of his songs, and if so did he say anything to her?

She didn't. She said that all he said was nice to meet you and he smiled. They all talked about 5 mins and they all moved on.

His actual medical examiner autopsy described his hair. Autoposies describe the condition of the body from head to toe. I think some of you are confusing the autopsy report with the police report.

. No. I am NOT confused. How insulting! All the ME said was his hair color was black. If you disagree, prove it with a link to a legitimate source. . [Edited 11/5/17 13:59pm]

So you think the ME report saying his hair was black tells us if he was wearing a wig or not?

You realize that people even those that are balding or completly bald have hair on other parts of their body. The ME saying his hair was black does not mean he was not bald or balding. Their is a pic of Prince bending down at a soundcheck before he had the fro and you can see a bald spot in his hair. I will see if I can post the pic.

Unless he used some Rogain or had a hair transplant he is definitly balding in that pic. Balding does not stop it keeps going it would have made sense for him to wear a wig much easier to cover up a balding head.

I’ve seen a similar pic, but I thought he had a fro at the time, where the bald spot was visible. Looked like normal thinning. Maybe it was piano and mic footage. It looked like his hair to me tho.

The one I saw was before the "fro" his hair was short and straight he was bent over looking at some equitpment it was outside in the day and you could see his bald spot. It might have been right before he went into "fro" mode.

Ahh probably so. He looking fine with the thinning spot. Attractively appropriate for his age.

Sure he looked fine and he could have stuck a hat on his head and been good to go.

What !! a man of 57 years experiencing male pattern baldness? Impossible.

That was during a soundcheck in Belgium. I´d post that picture but my computer crashed and I lost that picture.

It could still be a real fro though because his hair started looking much fuller after a comparatively long hiatus after that soundcheck. There were rumors of a hairtransplant back then. As far as I remember the video for Same December also showed a little bit of a bald spot and the newer version of that video had that bald spot darkened so that one could no longer see the bald spot.

This being said, I personally don´t believe it was a wig. I think he had something done, much like some other celebrities who suddenly had a full head of hair after they had been photographed with a bald spot (think of Matthew Mc Conaughey and his mugshot and what he looks like today).

Prince even hinted at getting a hairtransplant in Prettyman.

If it wasn´t his real hair he wouldn´t have been able to have the hairdo he had in 1998/99.

But you are right, I remember that picture with the thin looking hair.

Keep in mind that even when you already have bald spots the roots are not really dead yet and hair can regrow if the bald spot is not older than ten years.

I wouldn´t be surprised if it was indeed a wig but , like I said, I personally doubt it.

Do y'all mean THIS photo, which shows his GRAY ROOTS (not his scalp)?

Give it a rest.
May I also refer you to THIS Star-Tribune article where Jon Bream challenges him about a wig:

OK, people. I've shown TWO references. Where's YOURS (including that "autopsy report" I'm apparently confused about)?

My computer monitor says that is scalp. I don’t see any gray hair in his head in that pic. And I’m fine with bald, balding And thinning.

Im on a computer monitor and uh.... it is scalp. and not gray hairS.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

His hairdresser said that she did add hairpieces for Graffitti Bridge and his short hair looked a little wiggy around the Musicology tour.

[Edited 11/2/17 16:16pm]

Do you have a source on this? I don't believe he ever wore hair pieces for Graffiti Bridge. Kim Berry wasn't his hairstylist for that era either- she joined just about when he transitioned from the long graffiti bridge hair to the typhoon in early 1991.

Personally I don't think he ever wore wigs or hair pieces. His hair was naturally thick so when they added volume through back-combing etc during say, Graffiti Bridge era, his hair naturally looked very full.

Perhaps Laytonian posted the wrong pic, cause that is clearly scalp.

Even so he has a lot of hair. Remember he is photographed with a blitz.

Hairpieces have been mentioned in an article (or was it also part of an interview?) a very long time ago, during the years when he was with Mayté, but the article didn´t explicitly say whether it was him who used the hair extensions or Mayté. But it was worded in a way that left it a bit unclear.

But they were talking about extensions rather than a full wig.

I don´t remember the year or magazine though.

.

But whatever.....Prince had great hair until the very end.

Nope. That's exactly the photo I intended.
ANYONE's part will show some scalp. There is also slightly grey hair there.

If that's the one you're all thinking of, he wasn't wearing a wig. Duh.

At that point I imagine it was probably Mayte wearing the hair pieces. Most probably because A) Prince's hair at that point was quite short, and B) Mayte's hair was more likely to have hair pieces. In fact- my friend who is a MUA mentioned this. I have my hair cut into the V bangs like Mayte did, and she cut my hair for me and noted that Mayte probably wore some form of hair piece because her hair always looked full at the front compared to normal hair. When she tilted her head down, she also noted Mayte's crown was quite far back as well which could be extra space for a frontal piece to have been added. Mayte's hair also sometimes looked very full at the back.

This one:

I think that's just the light or something. They would have caught that and covered it up somehow. Prince was short and knew people could easily see the top of his head. He would have worn a cap or something I believe. He really didn't slip.

His haor was not short during 1986,it was just slicked back

It absolutely was short in 1986. I just watched Under the Cherry Moon last night and it was cut tight to the nape in back. Yes, it was slicked. But it was slicked and short.
