Prince Harry’s New Hairdo: Has He Had A Hair Transplant?
Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the Super Bowl in California on Sunday with his cousin Princess Eugenie.
However, it wasn't just his presence that caught people's attention; the prince looked like a new man with a fuller and thicker head of hair.
This has led to rumors that he may have had a hair transplant.
But is it true?
According to Gukhan Vaini, a hair transplant specialist at Vera Clinic, Harry's hair does seem fuller and thicker.
However, he suspects that the prince may have simply grown out his hair and switched up the products he uses.

This wasn't the first time fans noticed a difference in Harry's hair.
During a virtual summit for BetterUp, a mental health startup where he works as chief impact officer, viewers saw his usually ruffled hair cut short, while his thinning top appeared to have gained some wispy strands.
A source close to Harry reveals that the prince has come to terms with his hairline and has no intention of trying to fool the public about it.
The mocking he received after reports emerged of him seeing a hair plug expert shortly after his wedding was enough to put him off.
However, being married to a former actress, he has come round to the LA way of thinking, where aesthetic work is the same deal as a haircut.
The source adds that Harry has to live by Hollywood standards now, and his frown line was nothing short of an oddity to his new circle of friends.
Last year, one tabloid claimed that Meghan Markle was pushing Prince Harry into getting his hair fixed.
According to the report, Markle refused to allow Harry to leave the house without a cap to cover his bald spot.
The source said that Meghan's all about appearances, so when she sees Harry's hair coming out in clumps, she wants him to do something about it before it's too late.
Markle reportedly thinks that Prince Harry will need a full head of hair if she's going to successfully relaunch her acting career.
Dr. Anubh Pachar-Hull, a medical aesthetic consultant at Harley Street Specialist Hospital, agrees that Harry has definitely done something to improve his hair.
However, he recommends a less invasive and non-surgical option, microneedling with induced growth factor therapy.
Kukan explains that if Harry has had a hair transplant, the overall process can take between 8 and 12 months to fill any bald patches he has.
This process will continue as he gets older, and baldness shouldn't be a problem for the prince any longer.
We should notice the thickness of his hair develop evenly, and any off-color hair, which potentially could have been dyed, will come through naturally.
It will need to be dyed again if this is the case.
Dr. Anubh Pachar-Hull also notes that Harry's hair loss may have really impacted his mental health.
Hair transplants are a long drawn out process that are expensive and take time to do.
In terms of mental health, particularly for young people, having lost your hair can be catastrophic as in society we look at hair as a sign of masculinity and virility.
In conclusion, it's unclear whether Prince Harry has had a hair transplant or not.
While some experts believe that he may have used hair thickening treatments or grown his hair out, others think he may have opted for a less invasive option like microneedling.
Whatever the case may be, it's clear that Harry has come to terms with his hairline and is no longer trying to hide it.
As he continues to navigate life in LA, he'll have to keep up with Hollywood standards, but it's good to see that he's doing so on his own terms.
