I started re-watching the series including movies, and I'm at Episode 156 and a few episodes ago it was mentioned that pure blooded saiyans cannot grow hair, but Napa had hair in the Bardock special and he was bald on earth. So either he shaved it off, lost it all or he is not pure blooded. Can anyone remember other flashbacks possibly before the Bardock special to see if he had no hair then and grew some?

I'm guessing it's from stress....Vegeta probably wasn't the funnest guy to hang around... ;)

continuity isn't one of DBZ's strongest points... Pure Saiyans hair isn't supossed to change, but even Vegeta's hair changes time to time.

Vegeta says "A full blooded saiyan's hair never changes", but I'm sure they can still cut or shave it if they want.

Right now I'm on episode 162 and a bit of Goku's hair caught on Fire by Gohan's blast, so technically he would be missing a bit of hair now but it seems to look fine afterwards.

Vegeta was lying since SSJ totally changes 1 hair style ^_^ .

Anyways Nappa could of shaved bold or mayb he gotten so old his hair started 2 fall off. Remember Nappa is very old as he served both King Vegeta as his strongest Elite Saiyan and also served Vegeta til his adulthood so likely he should of been in the 60s at least.

I'm sure that he just got tired of it and wanted it to change. They have to be able to grow hair, or else they would all be bald. Do you think raditz was born with that hair? That would be freaky.

That's different though. That's for a transformation, and when the transformation is over, the hair goes back to normal.

If you have seen the Bardock movie you can see that Goku is born with his hair.

Full blooded Saiyan's hair never change from the day that they are born so if you shave or cut it of it can never grown back.

Maybe Nappa was looking for a new hairstyle. Lol it could have been possible that he didn't like the small patch of hair on his head so he shaved it. It does not necessarily mean he is not full blooded saiyan. If he wasn't, I think they'd let us know.

I just remembered something that Nappa has said before to Gohan, something along the lines of.. "Youre only half saiyan, but still, that's pretty good"

I don't think he would've said that if he wasn't pure saiyan.

don't take it to seriously, it was non canon to the Z story line. So is GT, that's why Vegeta's hair changes very much in that series.

Yeah he might've just wanted to shave off his head. Haha It would be funny if it fell off from stress from hanging around Vegeta xP

Actually, the Bardock special was canon to the storyline, since the ending scene does appear in the Manga in a flashback.

I don't think there is even the slightest possibility that Nappa is not pure saiyan. For one thing, he was commander-in-chief of the entire Saiyan army. He was the one that King Vegeta entrusted the care of his son to. I don't think a half-blood would have that high of a position in a culture so dominated by pride. Also, as we have seen, half-saiyans sport noticeable differences from the original saiyan race, so his abilities would have been quite different from a typical sayian's. He would've been either much stronger or much weaker. But there is no evidence of this whatsoever.

As to his hair, perhaps it fell out due to age. Or it could've easily been singed off during a battle. Or maybe, as I saw in a doujin, young Vegeta got pissed and ripped it out lol.

agreed.

but it is possible that he is mixed with something else that would make him fairly strong for a saiyan. because even though he doesnt appear to be powerful before the mighty goku, nappa was as you said very strong in the saiyan world. that could be a combination of something else in the universe. and then all he would have to do is shave his head daily or something and he could pass it off.

Nappa liked ponies and ice cream and Vegeta kicked his ***** too much and he lost it due to stress.

No idea, probably an oversight. Freeza mentions that Nappa was a full blooded Saiyan, saying that the only saiyans left were Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa.
