LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry's former hairdresser Sam McKnight MBE requested the Duke of Sussex to either shave his head completely or go for a hair transplant in a fun yet brutal post on Instagram on Monday, February 11.
According to The US Sun, the hair expert has worked with Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana, and has several A-List clients, including Grammy winner Lady Gaga and supermodel Kate Moss.

Harry, who reportedly loved mocking his older brother Prince William for his hair loss, has struggled with the problem himself in recent years. He was even seen undergoing a thickening treatment at the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic in London’s Mayfair back in 2020, according to the outlet.

Hairdresser Sam McKnight's message for Prince Harry
In his Instagram post, Sam McKnight said that he wanted the 40-year-old Prince Harry to be inspired by his brother and cut his hair short after he was spotted with a prominent bald patch on his head.
He began his post by reminding the Duke of Sussex of his younger years, writing, "It’s time Harry! Many moons ago, when you and your brother were young boys, you both had the most magnificent, thick healthy crowning glories, just like mum. Many an afternoon was spent with me thinning and shaping the topiary!"
"However, just like myself, the lush hedging is no more, a mere wisp or two of its former self," he continued, giving the royal a brutal wake-up call.

"All is not lost, however, a good short clip at the barbers (like your big brother has done recently) would look sharp and clean, and take years off that handsome face," stated McKnight before sharing another way for the prince to appear youthful.
"If I were your age I’d go for a transplant, so much more natural these days, unlike the plug plants of yore. And no need for a quick EasyJet trip to Turkey, you’re in California where they have the best!" the hairdresser added.
"So Harry, from one baldy to another, it’s time. As they say in Disneyland, 'Let It Go'. Sent from your old hairdresser, Sam, with love, a wink and a smile," McKnight said while cheekily signing off.
