Yes.
This is happening.
You see, some weird and wonderful characters have gone through the Bachelor franchise over the years.
But none have piqued the public’s interest quite like… Sam Cochrane’s hair.
While in the past some have dubbed it a man bun (*cough* me *cough*), or a comb over, or a weird lookin’ birdnest thing-y, none have really been able pinpoint exactly what kind of ‘do it is.
But then Tara came along and rightly named it a frullet (that’s a front mullet for those of you playing along at home).
We debrief on a Bach in Paradise finale that had us feeling far more than we expected to. Post continues.
But the question remains… what’s under the frullet?
Is Sam bald and is he trying to cover it up? Or is he just really diggin’ the frullet?
Like any good spotlight journalist I decided to launch an investigation, nay, a hairvestigation.
I spent hours highlighting official looking documents and examining the frullet under the microscope, and this is what I discovered.
Sam is kind of bald.
You see, he has a widow’s peak. Which basically means he has a v-shaped growth of hair towards the centre of his forehead. A v-shaped receding hairline if you will.
Sam confirmed it himself on Tuesday while appearing on the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
A listener called into the show and asked the bachie alum whether he was bald.
“I’ve got a widow’s peak, mate,” he replied. “It’s just hair.”
Sam also told the show he liked wearing hats… which is important.
“Hats are comfy. I live in hats,” he said.
So there you have it. Sam is a lil’ bit bald. He has a frullet and he quite likes hats.
Case closed.

Sam can 100% do whatever he wants with his hair - obviously! But I always think it sucks that some people say mean stuff about bald guys. My dad has been bald since his 20s so I grew up thinking it was equally good to have hair or no hair on a guy and unless directly addressed (like in this article) it never goes through my head “oh, that guy’s bald”. It just one of those physical characteristics that’s got nothing to do with anything! If a guy doesn’t like it or prefers to cover it up that’s his prerogative, but if someone else comments on it negatively they need to get a life.
Failing any post-reality TV ventures, there is always an opening for a new "Advanced Hair: yeah-yeah" bogan brand ambassador...
