BRET MICHAELS FINALLY ADMITS HE WEARS A WIG… SORT OF

 Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 at 12:04pm by

bretmichaels4.jpgThe worst kept secret in rock is that Bret Michaels and his natural hair parted ways long ago. It’s why he’s also wearing those stupid bandannas that went out of style in like 1990 or so. Remember that story about the girl with the thing tied around her neck, and when her husband finally got her to remove it her head fell off? Such is the relationship between the Poison singer and his head gear.

Now, in an interview with the Associated Press, Michaels has come clean… almost:

AP: What are you hiding under that bandanna?

Michaels: My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer. I do [Rock of Love] without it on all the time and they won’t film me. They are like, “Put your bandanna back on. It is your image.” It is my signature thing.

Well, I don’t buy for a second that he offers to let them film him without the bandanna; Slash’s top hat is a “signature thing,” but eighteen gazillion morons wore bandannas in the 80s. Still, I give Bret credit for admitting that it’s not all his real hair; that’s more than you’ll get out of most over-the-hill hair metallers.

    Well, I think you could probably safely say it’s his “thing” now that he’s the only one still clinging to the style 20 years later.

    I find it hard to crack TOO hard on Bret Michaels. I liked Poison back in the day, and he seems genuinely THERE for his fans to this day. That said, there was a bandana-less shot of him in the Rock of Love Season Finale the other night, and let’s just say that, while we appreciate how forthcoming he is about his folicle state of the union, it was obvious to even the most casual of observers.

    actually, last weeks show had him on there without the bandana.

    for that case, for fucks sake, he’s 44…of course he’s balding…some 28 year old metalheads parted with their own hair at the age of 20….

    yea dude im 18 and my hair line is already receding, it fucking blows man

    Some of us certainly didn’t have a choice in the matter. When nature calls for the locks to go, they go.

  • SickSixSeth

    “the finest extensions Europe has to offer” what a bitch.

  • Bonnylynn

    I don’t care what anybody says, with or without hair Bret Michaels is still sexy. I wish more men in their 40′s could look half as good!

    • terry

      I think he would look better without the bandana,it looks so fake with the wig

  • GG

    Michaels/Poison are not and never were Metal. They are Pop. Really bad, cheesy, trannyesque Pop. Bret’s a douchebag.

    • john

      i agree 1,000 % GG.
      + i knew it all along. his ‘hair’ just doesn’t look natural.

    • MM

      Don’t hate! I think somebody might be jealous. . . so where’s all the hard core bands ??? I love them all. Poison had a lot of fans and still does. Not to mention how Brets’ solo album has done… it’s good stuff. Where are all the others? Metallica… yeah, ummm, they suck now, uh, Anthrax, oh yeah… bioterrorism is the last time I’ve heard that name… I would agree that Poison didn’t represent metal bands, however, they have a good time and they rock. GLAD TO SEE THEM STILL AROUND….. A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR A LOT OF OTHER BANDS… AND THEY ARE SELLING OUT TO THE DAY, MORE SO THAN THE BS BANDS OUT NOW!

  • Angela

    I knew he was bald!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • john

      yeah, i did too. his “hair” just doesn’t look natural. it is too thick for a guy his age + the way the light hits it most of the time really gives it away. it doesn’t look like his old hair.

  • Chris

    BM I know you like your bandanna but I think everytime you release a girl, you take some of their hair for your weave! The bandanna’s gettin’ bigger & bigger ever show!

  • gutless

  • EMMA BARKEY

    WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL WHO CARES ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ABOUT BRETMICHAELS HAIR HE IS A HOT LOOKING MAN NOMATTER WHAT HISHAIR DONT SING OR TALK TO HIS FANS HE WILL BE NUMBER ONE ALWAYS A FAN ALWAYS EMMA

    • MM

      YES HE IS. I agree with you 100%! People are just jealous… Bret is hot, ask half of the female population and they would agree… these guys on here are probably just pissed because they are sitting at home with there frizzy hair, receited hair lines, beer guts, and upset because they are single, can’t get a woman, and get sick of Bret being all over the TV. They’re probably also pissed cuz’ their wussy ass high school band didn’t make it. BUT POISON SURE AS HELL DID! LOLOLOLOL! WOW, and they sucked oh so bad, right!?!?!?! Bret Michaels has a huge heart and compassion for others… that’s probably another reason these guys on here are doggin’ him…. Because they are actually thinking and reflecting how they feel about themselves!

  • brett michaels

  • steve c

    Hair transplants work. I have many clients that are very visible that you’d never know about…high profile, in the news all the time. Look into it and the sooner-the-better….age 22 better than 42….

  • OSCAR BENOVITO

    BRET LOOKS LIKE MY AUNT EMMA WITH OUT THE HAT OR BANANA ON HIS HEAD.

    • MM

      You have a fine mother f****in aunt!

  • Karen

    Bret isn’t bald. He wears extensions. I’ve worked with hairdressers for many years and I even noticed they were hair extensions – to create more volume/length to his hair. I had seen him with his natural hair which is shoulder length. He’s 47 and yeah hair thins as you get older but rest assure – not a wig but extensions. Huge difference people.

  • Jodie

    Even if he was bald he still looks really good for almost 50. How does he keep his face so young looking. If it’s botox or injectable fillers or plastic surgery, then he’s going to the right doctor. Good for him.

    • Karen

      I agree with you Jodie! He looks awesome!

    • MM

      Amen to that!

  • Robert

    Brett, I am 48 and I have all my hair and spent 15 years in the army. So you probably do too. You exercise and dont let your age dictate your life style. I found out I had diabetes 20 year ago. That is what ended my career in the army. I think you are doing what makes your heart rock!!! I feel for you having diabetes. I know what a pain in the ass it can be. Take care of it and your life will continue to be the one that all the haters envy. Who cares what is under the bandanna. You rock and I love how you are with your daughters. What a blessing. Rock on and show your fans how you choose to live with diabetes.

  • Mike Hayes

    He’s all mine

  • susan
