Love Island's Ronnie Vint has opened up about whether he wears a wig or not, here's what he's said.

Love Island’s Ronnie Vint entered the villa full of confidence, already knowing ex-islander Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack.

The islander was initially coupled up with Jess White and after getting to know bombshell Tiffany Leighton he ended up leaving the villa coupled up with Harriett Blackmore.

Fans of the show noticed that Ronnie's hair didn't look completely natural and had them wondering if he's wearing a wig.

So, is he wearing a wig? A lace front? Did he get implants? Or maybe he’s been experimenting with something else. Here's what he's said.

Is Love Island’s Ronnie Vint’s hair real or does he wear a wig?

No Ronnie is not wearing a wig, he uses hair fibre spray to fill in his balding spots. Talking to Olivia on her podcast 'So Wrong It's Right' he said: "My hairline, if I ain't got this powder in, my hairline's back in Mallorca, it's that bad."

Ronnie made light of the situation and explained that he uses a 'topic fibre' and has used it for about 7-8 years. He also explained how open he was about it and was confused it was never shown on the show.

"If it rains, I'm f**ked," he joked after Olivia had recalled him telling his mates to 'watch his barnet' when dashing drinks around on a night out.

Proving just how open he was, when ex-islanders Munveer and Patsy left the show they spoke about Ronnie's hair, or lack of it, on the Not My Bagg podcast with George and Joe Baggs.

Munveer started: "He was very open about it, he spoke to the boys, it's basically hair fibre."

"The fallbacks are gone, he's using hair fibre," Munveer explained quite nonchalantly. Patsy finished with, "That's the tea!"

The conversation began after Munveer brought up how bizarrely Ronnie slept, "have you seen Ronnie sleep?"

Patsy jumped in saying "he literally sits upright" whilst Munveer reenacted the position with his arms crossed across his body.

According to the ex-islander, Ronnie slept with three pillows propping him up at a right angle, which fans online believe was to protect the fibres on his head.

From the angle the camera captured, fans found Ronnie’s hairline seemed further back and the hair itself was thinner on the top.

Following this, a number of men shared their own experiences with using spray on hair fibres online.

“I used hair [fibres] years ago, and this is what it looks like. Thinning upfront, so Ronnie boy dashed it with [fibres] and a ton of hairspray. Confirmation will be if or when he goes in the pool. [Fibres] don't like water,” someone wrote on one Reddit thread.

Another concurred, adding, “It’s a sort of thickening spray that adds colour, you can spray it onto very very fine and thinning hair to make it look like there’s more. That’s why it has that matte finish.”

There has been so much conversation surrounding Ronnie’s hair that one fan joked at the situation, claiming “Ronnie's hair is an honorary Islander at this point.”

But if the girls in the house are welcome to wigs and hair extensions, then as far as the fans online are concerned, so are the boys, “Every single girl has hair extensions to cover bald patches on the side or some even full on wear wigs,” a fan said in defence of Ronnie.

Appearing on Love Island means contestants get analysed to the nth degree and this fan felt there was a double standard if people felt fans were going in too hard on Ronnie, “Every girl's appearance gets analysed right from the jump so men should also be fair game,” they claimed.
