Harry Styles is fully aware of those conversations about his hair.
In a new interview with comedian Brittany Broski on her series Royal Court, Styles subtly addressed ongoing speculation about his hairline and whether or not it’s genuinely his or the result of a hair transplant.
But let’s back up a bit, shall we? Where did all this chatter come from in the first place? Rumors about Styles’s hair, which has always been one of the signature elements of his look, began a few years ago, fueled in part by the celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi. In 2022, someone sent a tip about an “A list [sic] musician/occasional actor” who had “gone almost completely bald,” and claimed that the person in question wore a very good hairpiece. After some speculation that it was Machine Gun Kelly, which the poster denied, many people thought it might be Styles, who has done some acting in addition to his music career. However, Styles never confirmed nor denied the rumors. In 2023, he (shockingly!) shaved his head, and has since been wearing his hair short. (And that short cut is how he ended up in the crowd at the Pope’s election, in case you were wondering.)
During their conversation, Broski asked Styles—who also happened to be wearing elf ears along with his royal-themed ensemble—if his teeth were fake, and Styles took that moment to subtly nod at the hair transplant rumors. He denied having fake teeth, then slyly joked, “This hairline, though…” But that was all the Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally singer shared about the ongoing hair convo, so we’ll leave that little wink up to your analysis!
Styles may not have elaborated on his hair situation for the Royal Court appearance, but he has talked about it in the past. In 2022, he told Rolling Stone that he was aware of the discourse surrounding his luscious brunette hair, noting that a friend brought the DeuxMoi rumors to his attention at the time. “He won’t stop sending me messages about [people] trying to work out if I’m bald.” He then told writer Brittany Spanos that he was not bald. “What is it with baldness? … It skips a generation or something, right? If your granddad’s bald then you’ll be bald? Well, my granddad wasn’t bald, so fingers crossed.”
