LeBron James’ receding hairline has been a topic of discussion for years now. Some speculate just to amuse themselves, but there are many, including Jaylen Brown, who are genuinely curious. What did Bron do to make the comeback of all hairline comebacks?

Well, the way Bron was going (hair-wise), he should have gone completely bald by now. However, there are remedies, which James seems to have hit upon.
Brown, who has struggled with hairline issues, put spray-on hair on his head. That was until he got a bit too physical mid-game, and it rubbed off on others. Yes, it was not the Boston Celtics star’s proudest moment. So, in a recent live stream, Brown called Bron, asking him what he did.
Brown wanted to know if the four-time NBA champ traveled to Turkey — a notable place for people looking for hair-related remedies — to get a transplant done. He wanted to try it out if that worked for James.
Brown even went as far as searching for flights to Turkey. He didn’t even know where the country was, or how far he would have to travel to restore his hairline. Thankfully, what Bron did isn’t a mystery, and Brown surely won’t have to catch a long flight.
Analyst and former NBA baller Jalen Rose once revealed that Bron simply did a type of hair transplant. “LeBron has something that’s called a unit,” he said, before revealing that The King, who used to wear headbands during games, stopped doing so because his ‘hair’ moved in one outing.
Since then, James has practically stopped wearing headbands. About the ‘unit’, however, it’s not as technical as it sounds. In fact, James didn’t even have to get surgery done, as revealed by Rose.
“What I hear is that it’s not necessarily a surgery, it’s more a stitch in your hair…” he said. It was more of a ‘lace-front’, or a ‘weave’. Basically, the Los Angeles Lakers legend added hair to his existing but diminishing hairline to make his head look fuller.
And the “unit” that Rose spoke about is a follicular unit. This is a naturally occurring cluster of 1 to 4 hair follicles that grow together and are used during transplants.
Well, it’s not clear what James has actually done. Rose reiterated that this is just speculation. What The King did to continue looking like a prince remains unknown. One thing is certain, however: He’s always in good spirits when jokes are made about his hairline.
There are plenty of other things for those around him to be jealous of. After all, who would say no to having James’ hairline if they could walk in his footsteps in terms of an NBA career?
