Iconic hairstyle, sure, but I’m not sure about hair, hair. In their Cure in Orange concert movie, as the band is walking onto the stage, \ grabs Robert’s hair and… pulls it off, tossing the wig into the crowd. He had a crewcut beneath. ---

Haven’t seen that footage, but how could anybody produce a wig [like this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Rob_crop.jpg)? Or is just some ragged old mop? ---
