Ne-Yo: ‘My Hair Started Thinning at 13′

Ne-Yo's Mug Shot for Feb. 19, 2008 arrest in Cobb County, Ga. on charges of reckless driving and driving without a valid license

*Ne-Yo has revealed that he hadn’t even hit puberty yet when his hairline began receding like a man approaching middle age – which explains why you rarely see him without a hat (unless it’s a mug shot – see above photo).

“My hair starting thinning when I was 13. It runs in the family,” he tells The Sun.

The 30-year-old R&B singer/producer said it was hard to cope with when he was younger – but has since come to terms with it.

“I initially started wearing hats to cover up my shame. Now I don’t give a damn,” he says. “I can be sexy without hair.”
