This question arose when I was watching Krillin vs Jackie Chun who is Master Roshi. When Yamcha pulls the hair thinking it is a wig, but it won't come off, then he thinks it is real hair and asks that then the bald one should be a wig? Please, could anyone explain?

Yes, Master Roshi is really bald. He mentions it himself in Chapter 25:
In the first tournament, he used a special glue to attach his hair. He mentions it when revealing his identity to Nam, who was just defeated by Goku (Chapter 46):
There is a very detailed explanation in the second movie of Dragon Ball "the sleeping princess". minute 6:40. Krillin arrives. Goku tells him he's bold. Krillin says all great Martial Artists shave, just like Master Roshi. Master Roshi says he's simply bald, nothing else.

For people that don't understand it I said exactly what solalito wrote in the first 2 images (it's the same scene, just check it) and I said it first (he added that 10 hours after my post). I don't think a -1 reflects how good the answer is. Dec 5, 2016 at 22:03

1I think it's probably since Solalito's answer is from the manga and that specific scene takes place in the anime too. I'm also not certain, but I believe the movies are not considered canon.– WMiosDec 14, 2016 at 6:44

1@trafalgarlaw +1, because I dont think your answer deserved to be negative. Your answer is good, but are you referring from the anime or the movie? As WMios stated, the movies are non-canon. Also, it's always better appreciated when one cites the source itself (in this case the manga) or at least the wikia page. For your case, I don't think anyone is going to take the trouble going to a specific minute of an old Dragon Ball movie just to check if you got your facts right.– solalitoDec 14, 2016 at 7:03
