Prince Charles may have a mini-wig
Aug 8, 2005, 14:57 GMT
Britain's Prince Charles has been spotted sporting a full head of hair - sparking speculation he is wearing a hairpiece.
Stylists reportedly believe the heir to the throne may have had a weave - a mini-wig made from real or fake hair, which is attached to the head - or a hair transplant.
Celebrity hairdresser Carmelo Guastella says he is convinced the prince has done something to hide his thinning locks.
He told Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper: "He's clearly had something done and my guess is it's a transplant rather than a weave.
"The problem with a weave is that it requires frequent retying, or tightening, of the wig. This is bad for the real hair it has to be attached to. It also means that, as the hair grows, the weave needs continual adjustment.
"After about six months a person can lose hair permanently along the stress point where the wig is tied, so eventually there's nothing left to tie on."
Clarence House has not commented on the reports.
