Jason Statham is one of a handful of bald celebs<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
By the time they reach the age of 21, almost a quarter of men are thought to begin seeing signs of hair loss and, by the time they are 50, up to 70 per cent of men are completely bald, either through choice or genetics.<\/p>\n
Stars such as Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson, Jason Statham and John Travolta have all braved the bald, with The Rock joking he had opted to shave his head because his hair \u2018is a cross between an afro and hair from a llama\u2019s ball sack,\u2019 as Jason admitted \u2018hair doesn\u2019t suit me\u2019 after donning a wig to star in 2013 movie Parker. Meanwhile, John shared he decided to let go of his locks once and for all in 2018 after being encouraged to by an unlikely friend \u2013 fellow bald star Pitbull.<\/p>\n
After going viral when he revealed his smooth head, John said, \u2018He would send pictures of me, I have all my hair, and he\u2019d superimpose no hair and say, \u201cI prefer this,\u201d so I thought, maybe it\u2019s time to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prince William was recently voted the world\u2019s sexiest bald man, with Dwayne, Shaquille O\u2019Neal, Kelly Slater, Terry Crews, Danny DeVito, Samuel L. Jackson, Thierry Henry, Stanley Tucci and Vin Diesel also making the top 10.<\/p>\n

Despite these famous faces being trailblazers in the modern-day reluctance of going bald, it seems that some men in the public eye have a hard time admitting they\u2019re losing their hair, with a trend opting for hair transplants \u2013 and not all of them are honest about it.<\/p>\n
However, some famous faces have been open about their decision to have their hairlines transformed. Footballer Wayne Rooney was amongst one of the first batch of stars to admit to having a transplant, writing on X \u2013 known at the time as Twitter \u2013 in 2011, \u2018Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25, why not? I’m delighted with the result.\u2019<\/p>\n
Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean has also been open about his transformation, saying in 2013 in a now-deleted Instagram post, \u2018Some girls get their boobs done, some guys get ab implants, all to make them happy! This was the one thing I did, and I couldn’t be happier.\u2019<\/p>\n
Journalist Marina Hyde recently discussed the lack of bald men in film and TV on podcast The Rest is Entertainment, saying, \u2018In the pandemic, loads of A-List stars got their hair done, I can\u2019t be that specific about it, but some people will say they\u2019ve had it done. \u2018A lot of US stars, sports stars, pop stars, are having their [widow\u2019s peak] filled in. It\u2019s happening all the time, it is completely widespread to the point that you don\u2019t see anybody who has hair loss or is balding or is completely bald.\u2019<\/p>\n

Dr Roshan Vara says public perception around hair loss has shifted<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, presenter Richard Osman lifted the lid on another treatment the stars of the industry could be using, stating you will notice you are going bald \u2018very quickly\u2019 if you work in TV due to the lights shone on talent in studios. He said, \u2018They have an amazing thing on TV, all make-up artists have it, which is a thing called Nanogen. It\u2019s almost like salt and pepper, and you put it in your hair, and it’s got like 50 different colours, so they match it exactly to your hair. It’s a powder, essentially, and then you hairspray it. It just fills in any possible gap that you might have.\u2019<\/p>\n
Discussing where stars are travelling to in order to undergo hair transplant treatment, Richard added, \u2018Turkey, I think is the place that influencers go. But most TV presenters go to Dublin.\u2019<\/p>\n
In recent years, we haven\u2019t seen male celebrities being so upfront about making a tweak to their hair, despite some of them being under scrutiny about how their hair seems to only get fuller as they age.<\/p>\n
Hair transplant surgeon Dr Roshan Vara, co-founder of The Treatment Rooms London, has given insight on why this could be.<\/p>\n
Dr Roshan tells Closer, \u2018Over the years, public perception around hair loss and hair transplants has shifted. A few years ago, when hair transplants started gaining popularity, there was a surge of transparency among male celebrities, which helped normalise the treatment. \u2018However, in recent years, we\u2019ve seen a pullback. This could be due to an increasingly image-focused culture, where the pressure to maintain a youthful, flawless appearance has intensified. For men in the public eye, admitting to having aesthetic treatments is sometimes perceived as undermining \u201cnatural\u201d attractiveness or masculinity, leading some to prefer privacy.\u2019<\/p>\n

He may have opted to have undergone a hair transplant to strengthen his hairline and temples, but this is not confirmed.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/GettyImages-2184585949-2.jpg” title_text=”President-Elect Donald Trump Meets With Biden, Congressional Leaders In Washington” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Elon Musk<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Many have noticed a drastic change in Elon\u2019s appearance since he first came to our attention in 2002 when he launched PayPal, with him being visibly bald. Experts have suggested Elon was at stage four of seven when it comes to hair loss pattern, with it being estimated he has spent a whopping $20k-$30k (\u00a315,519- \u00a323,279) on hair transplant treatments. Dr Roshan tells Closer, \u2018It is clear that Elon has had a hair restoration treatment and is strongly rumoured to have undergone a hair transplant to his hairline where he had thinned previously.\u2019<\/p>\n OTHER TREATMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n But in the case of some other stars, Dr Roshan believes they have not yet taken the more drastic measures of undergoing a hair transplant but may be using other treatments to help their heads look fuller.<\/p>\n \u2018Other gentlemen may well be taking active measures to prevent hair loss, like non-surgical treatments such as Finasteride and Minoxidil to help maintain thickness,\u2019 he says. \u2018While we can\u2019t confirm specific treatments for each, these are among the effective options that many pursue. Ultimately, the conversation around hair loss is evolving, and more open dialogue would likely benefit both celebrities and the general public in reducing stigma associated with a receding hairline or thinning crown.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/GettyImages-1465156205.jpg” title_text=”The BRIT Awards 2023 – Media Room” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Harry Styles<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After Harry Styles debuted a dramatic new look after shaving his head in 2023, some speculated he could have been preparing to undergo a transplant.

He tells Closer, \u2018Ben Affleck may have benefitted from targeted hair maintenance routines, possibly incorporating regular scalp and hair oiling to ensure his hair looks hydrated and healthier.\u2019<\/p>\nRead more from Closer<\/h3>\n
