Upon seeing the trailer, fans were convinced that James' hair was actually CGI or some other kind of special effect. Twitter fans tried to come up with multiple solutions, not able to pinpoint what could have altered his hair. As per a report, MPAS Hair Transplant Specialist Jacques Abrahamian spoke to The Blast about the hair, giving his opinions about why James' hair might be looking like that.

“As we are not 100% sure what techniques and avenues Lebron James has taken to re-create his hairline, we can only guess it involved some type of hair restoration," Abrahamian said, agreeing that James' hair is also a topic of discussion. He explained that as hair restoration has come a long way, more density and natural-looking hair is a result. 

He added that if they had to guess, they would say James used either FUSS (and older technology) or FUE (the latest one). The owner of LA FUE Hair Clinic explained how both techniques have their own pros and cons. While FUSS might be old, it suits more hair types. However, FUE is better for people with naturally straight hair. 

Abrahamian then guessed that James must have opted for FUSS because of his textured hair, while probably also using other methods like SMP (Scalp Micro-Pigmentation) in combination.
