23-year old Mexican rapper, Dansur, surgically implanted gold chains into his head to serve as his hair.

Looking to stand out in the music world, 23-year-old Mexican reggaeton rapper Dan Sur decided to surgically implant chains into his scalp. With the drastic move, Sur now accepting that he is “the first rapper to have gold hair implanted in human history.”

Like every other person, Dan Sur did not want to dye his hair or add normal extensions to it, he wanted to do ‘something different’. “The truth is that I wanted to do something different because I see that everyone dyes their hair. I hope not everyone copies me now,” he said in a video as translated by NME.

“They introduce an easy path for bacteria between the outside world and the internal body. In this case, the bone covering the brain. In addition, I am concerned about the amount of weight these hooks are supporting,” plastic surgeon Dr Frank Agullo told Yahoo Life. “The weight or any accidental tug on a band of gold could cause the implant to dislodge and even fracture the skull,” he added.

In a video on Tiktok, Sur offered some insight into why he decided to replace his hair with chains, “the truth is that I wanted to do something different because I see that everyone dyes their hair. I hope not everyone copies me now.” Going on to outline the procedure in another video, “I have it as a hook that is implanted in my head and that hook has hooks and they are all hooked in my skull, under my skin.”
