Dan Sur says he got gold chains surgically ‘implanted into his head.’
The rapper and content creator, from Mexico, has over 7.7 million TikTok followers, more than 650,000 YouTube subscribers, and nearly 160,000 Instagram followers.
He’s gone viral on social media after claiming to be the ‘first rapper to have gold hair implanted in human history.’
Reacting to his extreme look, one person remarks: “Damn that’s going to hurt like hell if someone snatches all that gold off his head.”
A second asks: “So what happens when his natural hair grows? It’ll get tangled in the chains and be impossible to cut.”
“He will have real spinal problems… his head will be too heavy for his neck. Literally,” insists another.
Someone else quips: “Nightmare going through airport security I bet.”
“There really needs to be a line where doctors step in and say this is too far,” comments a fifth.
Another person questions: “How [is] he gonna sleep though?”
Dan Sur previously had a much more conventional look, keeping his black locks long and stylized.
He showed off his golden chains – some encrusted with bling – on social media, revealing that he ‘wanted to do something different’ by going through with the unusual procedure.
The rapper said: “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.”
In another post, Dan Sur added that he considers his look unique: “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.”
The reggeaton rapper reportedly underwent the bizarre procedure in April 2021. It’s unclear how much it cost.
Since Dan Sur’s bold look has gone viral, an expert has spoken out and warned against the procedure.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Agullo says whether or not the rapper’s look is the real deal, it’s important to understand that it would be a procedure that carries risks.
He tells Yahoo News: “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.”
The surgeon warns that hygiene and sleep are likely to become a challenge.
Dr. Agullo advises anyone wanting to achieve Dan Sur’s look to buy a wig with gold chains instead, adding: “I don’t believe that it needs to be anchored to your skull.”
