Like many men his age, Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming, 46, is very conscious of his hair thinning.
The 46-year-old was recently spotted attending an event in his hometown of Qingdao, China signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.
After videos of the actor’s appearance were posted online, sharp-eyed netizens noticed that the hair at the back of his head seemed to have been layered differently.
It is as if they were separated into two sections that differed in colour and texture.
Many took to the comments and questioned if Xiaoming was wearing a wig, even becoming a trending topic on Weibo.
Netizens opinions were divided, with one defending Xiaoming saying: “These days, men wear wigs the same way women get fillers. Is there anything wrong with that?”
Others felt Xiaoming should have gotten a different wig or hired a better wig maker as the piece he was wearing “doesn’t look natural”.
“You have so much money, can’t you afford a better wig?” asked a comment.
Last month, Xiaoming confirmed his relationship with Chinese influencer Ye Ke, 32.
Ye Ke has come under scrutiny for her ever-changing looks, which led one netizen to make this joke: “While Ye Ke removes her make-up at night, Xiaoming removes his wig”.
