As any OG fan will know, Harry Styles has been through a number of memorable hair eras.
Firstly, there were his classic One Direction/X Factor curls, which inspired teenage boys across the UK to grow out their hair. (Believe me, I was there.)
Then there were the true long hair years, around 2015.
And, of course, who could forget the bandana moment?
Well, with so many eyes on his famous locks, Harry has found himself facing speculation about whether his hair is actually real. Allow me to explain.
I’m pretty sure it all began in 2022 when anonymous gossip page DeuxMoi posted an unverified blind item alleging that a certain “A-list musician/occasional actor” was losing his hair and had turned to expensive hairpieces to remedy the situation.
This led TikTok sleuths to analyze slow-motion videos of Harry to determine whether he was secretly wearing a toupée.
Things then stepped up a notch in 2023 when Harry was photographed with a shaved head, which, if you didn’t know, is commonly done before undergoing a hair transplant procedure. (But not always. You can read about it here.)
It’s worth mentioning that there is absolutely no shame in wanting to tackle hair loss. Tons of celebrities — probably more than we realize — have had hair transplants, and others have talked openly about losing their hair; it’s very common, particularly among men.
For what it’s worth, Harry has been aware of the chatter over the years. In 2022, he addressed rumors about his hairline during an interview with Rolling Stone, saying, “What is it with baldness? …It skips a generation or something, right? If your grandad’s bald then you’ll be bald? Well, my granddad wasn’t bald, so fingers crossed.”
Which brings us to this week. Harry, as you probably know, is gearing up to release his long-awaited fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., and he just made a very exciting appearance on Brittany Broski’s Royal Court.
During the hilarious interview, which came out on Feb. 25, Brittany jokingly asked Harry if he had fake teeth, as is common in Hollywood. He denied that, then quipped: “This hairline, though…”
Brittany’s reaction honestly says it all. And the way he just brought it up himself? Excellent.
Naturally, fans are loving his honesty, with one X user saying: “it is so refreshing to see a celebrity who can take a joke and at the same time doesn’t give a single fuck.”
Well, you can make of that what you will! But, hair transplant or not, I’ve gotta love it when a celeb can laugh at themselves.
