Paris Jackson’s hair secured after haircut in Las Vegas

Last weekend, Paris Jackson had a girls’ day out with grandma Katherine in Las Vegas.

In addition to a shopping spree, Little Miss Jackson went with her grandma for what is, by some accounts, her first haircut. Not necessarily remarkable, in and of itself, but the Daily Mail reported that after the trim, a “minder” gathered up and secured Paris’s shorn hair. Speculation is that the Jackson corporation family wants to avoid DNA testing.

Commenters posited that in order to DNA test, the root of the hair is needed. However, and sadly so, that doesn’t preclude the fact that anyone and everyone who could would probably seize upon the poor child’s cut hair to sell or at least attempt to test. And the three kids are getting old enough that reports questioning their biological parentage could be overheard. Considering the sheltered nature of their upbringing and recent devastating and traumatic loss of the only parent they knew, such speculation could really emotionally harm them. (Remember the girl’s heart-rending speech at her father’s very public funeral?)

A local TV reporter also being serviced in the salon was reported as saying:

‘Can you imagine the value of Paris’s hair? DNA – the truth, finally.’
