Harry Styles Addresses Hair Transplant Rumors with Humor and Honesty
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — As Harry Styles prepares to release his highly anticipated fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., the singer found himself at the center of renewed speculation about his hair. For years, Styles has been the subject of rumors suggesting he might have undergone hair transplant procedures or worn wigs, a topic that has fascinated fans and internet sleuths alike. But rather than shy away from the chatter, Styles recently embraced it with a refreshing blend of humor and candor during an appearance on Brittany Broski’s Royal Court interview series.
Styles’s hair has long been a defining feature of his public persona. From the iconic curls he sported during his One Direction days to the flowing locks and bandana moments that followed, his evolving hairstyles have often set trends and inspired fans worldwide. However, the intense scrutiny over his hairline began in earnest around 2022, when an anonymous gossip page, DeuxMoi, posted a blind item alleging that an “A-list musician/occasional actor” was experiencing hair loss and resorting to expensive hairpieces. This sparked a wave of analysis on social media platforms like TikTok, where users examined slow-motion videos and photos of Styles to determine whether he was wearing a toupee.
In 2023, the rumors intensified after Styles was photographed with a shaved head, a style sometimes associated with the preparation for hair transplant surgery. Though shaving the head is not definitive proof of such a procedure — as noted by experts at the American Academy of Dermatology — it nonetheless fueled speculation. Despite the buzz, Styles has been open about the topic in the past. In a 2022 interview with Rolling Stone, he addressed questions about his hairline with a lighthearted remark: “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.” This response underscored his willingness to engage with the rumors without taking them too seriously.
During his recent interview on Royal Court, Brittany Broski jokingly asked Styles if he had fake teeth, a common Hollywood rumor about celebrities. Styles denied this but then quipped, “This hairline, though…,” turning the spotlight back on the subject with a self-deprecating joke. Fans quickly praised his approach, with many on social media commending his ability to laugh at himself and dismiss the rumors with ease. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “It is so refreshing to see a celebrity who can take a joke and at the same time doesn’t give a single fuck.” Another added, “When you’re in idgaf competition and your opponent is Harry.”
Hair loss and hair restoration are common topics among men, including many public figures who have openly discussed their experiences. For instance, wrestler and actor John Cena publicly shared that a hair transplant in 2024 “completely changed the course” of his life, highlighting how such procedures can positively impact confidence and self-image. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that hair loss affects millions of men and women, and treatments range from medical therapies to surgical options.
Styles’s candidness and humor in addressing the rumors stand out in an era when celebrities often guard their privacy fiercely. Whether or not he has had any hair restoration procedures, his willingness to confront speculation head-on and with levity has endeared him further to his fanbase. As he gears up for his album release and upcoming projects, it seems clear that Styles’s focus remains on his music and artistry rather than the endless speculation about his appearance.
