Do you think Prince would still have a fro if he was still here? If not what do you think his hair would be?

No - he would have changed it.....Kim you there? speak up!!!!

In my best Peter Griffin voice:

"Oh my God, who the hell cares?!"

I think the early afro was a wig but ultimately the afro was his real hair

because how do you find a wig that shows thinning spots?

I doubt it.. I think he would have been back to flat and on his Guitars tour...

Prince was losing his hair, just like his bald father. Genetics

As usual, you have zero evidence of any of anything and it's typical trolling by you. Even Prince and Kim Berry told the story of why he went back to an afro. Stop being so obtuse. It's very one-note of you at this point. Even Prince knew when to change his sound. Try taking the hint.

As a hairstylist of 25 years, I'll loudly announce you're even more off kilter. You don't get your hair patterns from your father. We used to hear that one tended to have their maternal grandfather's hair genetics. But it's still not directly from one's father.

Have a seat, or several.

lol,it wasn't a wig,folks

Jesus Christ. This is the worst thread idea I’ve ever seen - and I’ve been coming here for nearly 20 years, so I seen a few shockers. I remember back in the day we would discuss cool stuff like, for example, how he dropped that awesome bass track from Partyman to emulate the part with his mouth. About how no-one else in the pop world would have the balls to do such thing and release it as a single. Or the talent. About how he wouldn’t even mention things like that, how he would make you find them yourself, wee Easter Eggs in the music for the real heads. This...is shit. Sorry, I’m not trolling, but up your game. And, for the record, it was a wig. Nothing against that, but it wasn’t an Afro - it was a wig.

It’s just a discussion

Chill fam...can't we have a little fun after so much sad drama? Yes please !!

I think a wig was used at times. Older Black people (usually women, and especially of a certain generation) will sometimes throw on a wig like a hat when they're having a bad hair day. Then again, there's no wigs in any of the police photos, unless they're hidden from view where the clothes racks are. That afro (wig or not) wasn't going anywhere. It was a timeless look (even retro) that fit where he was spiritually, and he could poof it up to hide a lot. He could have also gone the long straight wavy route again. He actually didn't change up that much, it just seemed like he did. I'm not sure why this thread is seen as any creepier than other discussions about his style.

Not this again...

I think he used a wig. When the light shone on it, it had an artificial look.

But, he wore hair-pieces periodically througout his career.

When he wore that pompadour 'do' in mid-2000's (pre-fro), there was a hairpiece involved to give it volume as his hair was noticeably thinning (on top), in his 30's.

There is no shame in this.

Everybody relax.

Didn't know that about the pompadour. Any recollection where that info came from? Makes sense, he got some serious volume in some photo shoots around then, but pomps also allow you to disguise the problem spots. I just recall a spot where his part was, which is normal with age. A clip on hair extension layers sounds right too.
