‘Full House:’ Did John Stamos Dye His Hair While Playing Uncle Jesse?
Uncle Jesse loved motorcycles, the Beach Boys, and Elvis. More than anything, though, he loves his luscious locks. Did John Stamos ever dye his hair while acting as this hair-obsessed character? Hereās what we know about this loveable uncle from Full House.
John Stamos and his character, Uncle Jesse, was known for his hair
Uncle Jesse first moved into the Tanner home to help Danny raise his three daughters. Although he only planned to stay for a few months, he ended up staying for years, supporting other characters and even starting a family of his own with his wife, Rebecca.Ā
What this character was known for, however, was his love of his hair, which he often thanked his father and Greek heritage for. Aside from āhave mercy,ā this character even had a hair-related catchphrase, ānot the hair,ā which came from other characters touching his locks.Ā
Did John Stamos dye his hair for āFull House?ā
While Uncle Jesse had a few hair dye-related moments on the series, the actor behind Uncle Jesse had not shared if he dyed his hair while filming the sitcom. He did sport a few different haircuts, including the iconic mullet from the first few seasons.Ā
āIt was like two crows had died on my head,ā Stamos said of his Full House hairdo, according to Us Weekly. āI look now and I go, āWhy didnāt anybody say anything to me?āā
The mulletās journey on Full House was short-lived, however, mostly due to an unwanted haircut from Jesseās niece, āMr. Stephanie.ā (Otherwise, only Alejandro, an exclusive hairstylist only referred to by Uncle Jesse and the Tanner family, was allowed to cut this characterās hair.)

Whether it was a mullet or dyed pink from a Sprayguard 2001 incident, Uncle Jesseās hair was often known for its perfection. However, although he wasnāt always going to admit it, Uncle Jesse did have a split end or two as he grew older.Ā
Thankfully, his hairdresser, Alejandro, always pointed him in the right direction. When the Beach Boys visited for season 5ās āCaptain Video (Part 1,)ā Uncle Jesse discovered gray hair and dyed his whole head.Ā Ā
For the season 7 episode, āJoeyās Funny Valentine,ā Joey invited over his new girlfriend, only to find that Uncle Jesse was doing an oil treatment on his head that involved plenty of tin foil and prayer. Even when Uncle Jesse returned for the Netflix spinoff series, Fuller House, the character always had his hair in perfect formation.
