Cristiano Ronaldo: No Signs of Hair Transplant

In 2004, Conte even joked in an Italian newspaper about needing to continue playing football to afford his hair transplant.
Dimitar Berbatov: Unconfirmed
Bulgarian media reports that Dimitar Berbatov underwent a hair transplant at a clinic in Sofia. Berbatov, who is said to be “very sensitive” about his appearance, has not commented on the rumors. His hair transplant is regarded as one of the most successful results in the field.
Andros Townsend: Unconfirmed
Even though Andros Townsend had a dramatic hairline transplant with impressive results, he never talked about the procedure.
Wayne Rooney: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Legendary football player Wayne Rooney has not only inspired millions through his contributions to football, but he has also encouraged many men to consider hair transplants due to his openness about the procedure.
Rooney underwent two confirmed hair transplant procedures, one in 2011 and another in 2013, which was pre-planned. In 2011, he openly tweeted to his fans, “Just 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,” and shared a post-operation picture.
Sadly, it seems like Rooney’s hair loss continued to advance, and as of 2025, his hair has started to thin out.
David Beckham: No Signs of Hair Transplant
Despite being genetically blessed, football legend David Beckham shows signs of thinning hair over the years. We believe he maintains his appearance with medication and hair fibers.

Mo Salah: Unconfirmed
In 2024, Mohamed Salah changed his signature curly hairstyle to a buzz cut, revealing his receding temples. After a few months, the hair at his temples began to grow back. Although Salah has not confirmed undergoing any surgery, it is believed that he shaved his hair to facilitate a hair transplant procedure.

Zak Hardaker: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Rugby player Zak Hardaker confirmed his hair transplant in 2021. He released two detailed videos on Instagram, one right after the procedure and one two weeks after discussing the procedure and his recovery process.
Based on his descriptions, it is likely that he underwent either a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or a Sapphire FUE hair transplant, as he mentioned having scalp incisions during the procedure. Hardaker stated that he received 2,800 grafts.
After several months of research, he carefully selected a clinic in Brentwood, England. He described the anesthesia as initially uncomfortable, but noted that the discomfort only lasted about two minutes. The implantation process took three hours, and he had plenty of healthy donor grafts available from the back of his head.
Before the hair transplant, Hardaker also received Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments to address his hair loss. In his Instagram videos, he mentioned plans to start using Minoxidil to help maintain the results of his hair transplant.
Although Hardaker did not disclose the exact cost of the procedure, he indicated that it was neither too cheap nor too expensive. Based on his comments, we can estimate that the hair transplant cost somewhere between £4,000 and £8,000.
Kyran Bracken: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Kyran Bracken underwent an unsuccessful hair transplant procedure in 2006. We think that after his hair transplant, his results were not maintained with finasteride or minoxidil, which led to him losing his native hair. Since then, he’s been using hair fibers to maintain his appearance.

Floyd Mayweather got a hair and beard transplant in Turkey and shared a post-op picture on Instagram.

Conor McGregor is rumored to have undergone a hair transplant in late 2021. Unfortunately, the results of his hair transplant did not hold up, as his hairline started to appear increasingly sparse. It seems that McGregor may not have maintained the results of his hair transplant with the necessary medications, which could have led to the loss of his natural hair and the exposure of his transplant.
Lewis Hamilton: Denied Hair Transplant Rumors
Hamilton attributed his hair loss to frequent washing (3 times a day) and the use of poor-quality shampoos, in an attempt to shut down the allegations that he had a hair transplant on Instagram.

Speculation about Ben Affleck’s hair has intensified following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Online discussions are analyzing every possible explanation, ranging from medications and hair transplants to hair systems designed to conceal his hair loss.

At age 64, George Clooney appears to have no signs of a hair transplant or obvious hair loss, suggesting that he likely maintains his hair with medication.

Jeremy Piven: Denied Hair Transplant Rumors
Jeremy Piven denied having a hair transplant after photos of him surfaced in 2010 on TMZ with a large scar behind his head. The actor denied having a hair transplant by saying the scar was due to a corrective surgery he underwent to conceal a prior acting injury.
However, Piven can’t fool the eyes of experienced hair transplant surgeons. It’s undeniable that Piven had a hair transplant with the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) method that left him with a strip of scar tissue.
John Travolta: No Signs of Hair Transplant
Legendary actor John Travolta’s hairstyle often changes from a fully bald look to a full head of hair, leaving his fans to wonder if he’s constantly losing his hair and getting it replaced with surgery. The answer is actually very simple. Many old-time Hollywood stars like Travolta prefer the flexibility of a hairpiece that they can change and style depending on their role. So, no signs of a hair transplant exist for John Travolta.
Sean Penn: Speculated
It seems that Sean Penn underwent a rather conservative hair transplant, particularly evident around his hairline and temples. The procedure appears subtly executed, enhancing his appearance while maintaining a natural look.
Nicolas Cage: No Signs of Hair Transplant
We believe the constant changes in Nicolas Cage’s hairline are likely the result of various hair systems and hair fibers, rather than a hair transplant.
Mel Gibson : Speculated
We believe Mel Gibson maintains his hair with medications, but he may have had a very conservative, minimal hair transplant for an age-appropriate look to increase density.
Al Pacino: No Signs of Hair Transplant
We are confident that Al Pacino exhibits no noticeable indications of having undergone a hair transplant. Instead, he appears to preserve the fullness and vitality of his hair through the use of effective medications, showcasing a natural and authentic look that complements his iconic persona.

We believe Sylvester Stallone underwent a forehead reduction rather than a hair transplant. When his skin is tanned, a very thin line of hypopigmented scarring can be observed along his hairline.

Joel Mchale: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Joel McHale has openly shared that he has undergone four hair transplant procedures and believes that they are worth it. His first hair transplant was a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) procedure, which he found to be very painful.

Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer admitted on Conan that his hair was an “elaborate illusion.” Cryer described the process of his hairstylist using hair fibers in detail to create a full hair look.

The 79-year-old Married… with Children and Modern Family star Ed O’Neill has no signs of a hair transplant or any other cosmetic intervention on his face. O’Neill has aged extremely well and supports his natural and age-appropriate look with confidence.
Hugh Laurie: No Signs of Hair Transplant
In the book House M.D.: The Official Guide to the Hit Medical Drama, it was revealed that Hugh Laurie’s hair required extensive styling as the seasons progressed. Hair fibers and, later on, hair pieces were used to conceal Laurie’s advancing hair loss. In recent years, we can see Laurie with a changing hairline for different projects, which leads us to believe that he prefers a hairpiece.
Jamie Foxx: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Jamie Foxx appears to have undergone at least two hair transplants and is using hair fibers to enhance the density of his hair. His scalp tattoo is a noticeable method to conceal the strip scar from a follicular unit transplant (FUT) procedure. His second surgery was performed using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique.
Chris Evans: Speculated
Chris Evans has openly discussed his hair loss, noting that his role as Captain America required him to maintain a perfect image. Over the years, however, it appears that his characteristic widow’s peak has slightly straightened. It’s believed that he manages his hair with medications and may have undergone a hair transplant.

We don’t believe Chris Pratt underwent a hair transplant, as his asymmetrical hair loss on the right side of his hairline has remained consistent over the years. He may use hair systems for certain roles.

The results were quite visible around 2013-2014. However, as of 2025, it appears that his hairline is starting to thin again.
Simon Pegg: No Signs of Hair Transplant
Although there was speculation around 2011 that Simon Pegg had undergone a hair transplant for his role in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, we believe he manages his hair loss with non-invasive medications and uses hair pieces for specific roles.
James Nesbitt: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Nesbitt has been remarkably transparent about his hair transplant and restoration journey.
James Nesbitt and his surgeon have openly confirmed undergoing five hair transplant procedures between 2008 and 2017.
James Nesbitt got a FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplant. In an interview with the Radio Times, he described the process of having a strip of hair taken from the back of his head, which aligns with the FUT technique.
James Nesbitt got transplanted a total of 10.000 grafts over 5 hair transplants according to his surgeon Dr. Maurice Collins, in Dublin, Ireland.
James Nesbitt underwent his first hair transplant in 2008. Between 2008 and 2012, he went through his second hair transplant. In 2013, he came out with a testimonial video about his hair transplant journey. Between 2012 and 2017, he underwent three additional hair transplants.
Even though there are speculations, he did not confirm getting any more hair transplants after 2017.
In addition to hair transplants, James Nesbitt uses Minoxidil and Finasteride as a supplementary treatment for his hair loss and to support his hair transplant results.
Each of James Nesbitt’s hair transplant procedures cost around £20,000, totaling £100,000 for 5 hair transplants over 9 years, according to Nesbitt’s own statements in an interview with the Radio Times.
Rob Brydon: Unconfirmed
Rob Brydon has neither confirmed nor denied having a hair transplant, but his new hairline and increased density suggest that he undeniably underwent the procedure.
Billiy Bob Thornton: Unconfirmed
Fargo star Billy Bob Thornton appears to have undergone a hair transplant. However, the actor-singer is such a big fan of wearing hats that we can’t confidently determine when he had the procedure done.
Salman Khan: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Bollywood star Salman Khan is rumored to have undergone three hair transplants. It is believed that his first transplant was performed using the FUT technique. Additionally, photographs taken around 2016 show scarring and redness associated with the FUE method after his last hair transplant.
Stephanie Davis: Confirmed Hair Transplant
English actress Stephanie Davis underwent a hair transplant procedure in 2020 to reduce her “high forehead. Details about her procedure are unknown, but we predict she received a FUE hair transplant with around 1800-2000 grafts, strategically placed to create a natural and feminine hairline. Davis described the procedure as being comfortable and painless.
Joey Lawrence: No Signs of Hair Transplant
It was revealed that Joey Lawrence opted for scalp micropigmentation instead of a hair transplant on Instagram.
Jimmy Carr : Confirmed Hair Transplant
Jimmy Carr did not shy away from rumors about his hair; instead, he openly showcased the results of his hair transplant during his show.
Jimmy Carr is refreshingly candid about his hair transplant procedure and has praised the importance of being open about such treatments. He noted that many Hollywood actors often deny undergoing similar procedures, even when it is obvious to everyone.
Jimmy Carr underwent a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant. This technique involves individually extracting hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into small incisions made in the recipient sites.
While Carr himself mentioned receiving 4000 grafts, this number likely refers to the total number of hair follicles rather than the actual graft count, as each graft can contain multiple follicles. Given the extent of his hair loss and the results achieved, it is highly unlikely that Carr received 4000 grafts; 4000 individual hair follicles, likely translating to 1500-1800 actual grafts, is the more plausible figure.
Carr received his hair transplant in the UK, although the name of the clinic has not been disclosed. The procedure lasted 14 hours, during which he watched Netflix and listened to the radio.
He described the experience as “uncomfortable” rather than painful. The hair transplant was part of a larger transformation that also included dental work and Botox treatments.
While Jimmy Carr’s hair transplant cost is undisclosed, considering his celebrity status and typical pricing at premium UK clinics catering to high-profile clients, the procedure likely cost between £20,000 and £30,000.
Joe Swash: Confirmed Hair Transplant
EastEnders actor and ’ I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! presenter Joe Swash underwent his second hair transplant in June 2018 in the UK. Swash started experiencing hair loss around 2002 when he began starring on EastEnders.
During his time in EastEnders, he reportedly went through his first hair transplant, which he described as “brutal” and “they scalp you,” which makes us believe he underwent a FUT hair transplant procedure with an inexperienced surgeon.
Swash states that he regretted this first hair transplant. For the second time around, Swash went through a conservative FUE hair transplant in a UK clinic to thicken up his hairline.
Boy George: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Controversial musician Boy George revealed that he had a hair transplant while appearing on the show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2022.

Robbie Williams: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Robbie Williams revealed on The Graham Norton Show that he underwent a hair transplant in Los Angeles, which he admitted “he didn’t need.” The singer had the procedure done in 2013 to address his temples and hairline.
However, during an appearance on the Old Before I Die podcast in 2020, he disclosed that he experienced further hair loss since the transplant, suggesting he may not have used any medications to maintain the results.
Williams mentioned that there were “big gaps at the back” of his head, which could be indicative of a FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) procedure.
Eventually, he shaved his hair, and as of 2025, he has been using hair fibers to cover his hair loss, a detail confirmed by his hairstylist.
Elton John: Confirmed Hair Transplant
In his autobiography, Me, legendary artist Elton John confirmed that he underwent two unsuccessful hair transplants.
John began experiencing hair loss in the early 1970s and had two consecutive FUT hair transplants in 1976 in Paris, France, performed by the same surgeon.
He attributed the failures of these transplants to several factors, including unhealthy lifestyle choices, a lack of proper aftercare, and not wearing a hat. Since the 1990s, he has preferred wearing wigs to conceal his hair loss.
Chris Martin: Unconfirmed
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin appears to have undergone a hair transplant to straighten out his hairline, specifically around his temples. It is also believed that he maintains his hair with medications.
Enrique Iglesias: Speculated
It is uncertain whether Enrique Iglesias had a hair transplant, as he often wears a hat. This makes us think he might be trying to conceal his hair loss.
AJ McLean: Confirmed Hair Transplant
AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys has undergone two confirmed hair transplant procedures. His first hair transplant was performed in preparation for his wedding in 2011.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, McLean shared his hair transplant results, captioning it: “Some girls get their boobs done, some guys get abs implants, all to make them happy! This was the one thing I did, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Dr. G!!!!”
In 2021, McLean discussed his hair loss and hair transplant surgery in an interview with Allure. He mentioned that he planned to undergo another surgery that year, possibly in anticipation of a Backstreet Boys reunion.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine may have gotten a very conservative hair transplant so round out his sharply receding temples around 2019 to 2020.
Machine Gun Kelly: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Machine Gun Kelly has undergone at least two hair transplants using both FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) techniques. For the promotion of his album “Hotel Diablo,” Kelly shaved his head to showcase a tattoo of the album’s name. In the pictures, his strip harvest FUT scar and tiny dot FUE scars are clearly visible.
Chris Brown: No Signs of Hair Transplant
The 36-year-old who frequently finds himself in violent controversies shows no signs of having undergone a hair transplant.
Tyga: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Tyga admitted to a hair transplant, and promoted his surgeon after getting caught up in a Twitter feud between Nicki Minaj and her ex. Later on, Tory Lanez and Marlo Hampton went on to get a hair transplant from the same surgeon.
Tory Lanez: Confirmed Hair Transplant
The now-incarcerated rapper, known more for his disgraceful assault on international star Megan Thee Stallion than rapping, confirmed in various interviews that his FUE hair transplant cost around $30,000. In addition to a hair transplant, he also got PRP treatments.
During an Instagram Live, Marlo Hampton mentioned that she asked Tory Lanez for his opinion on her hair transplant surgeon before her surgery.
Marlo Hampton: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Marlo Hampton, a star from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, underwent a hair transplant in 2021 and documented her journey on her YouTube channel.
During an Instagram Live session, Hampton discussed receiving stitches at the back of her head, indicating that she had a FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) procedure, which lasted between 8 to 10 hours.
In her videos, she addressed how many Black women experience hair loss along their hairlines due to traction alopecia caused by protective hairstyles like braids, highlighting that they often feel afraid to talk about it.
Hampton candidly shared her post-hair transplant experience, including the swelling and bruising she encountered.
Calum Best: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Reality star Calum Best underwent 5 to 6 hair transplants between 2011 and 2025 at various clinics in the UK and Turkey.
Reportedly, in his last hair transplant, the clinic had to use hair follicles from his neck because his donor area was completely depleted.
This is an extreme case, as even severe hair loss can typically be managed with just 2 to 3 hair transplants and medications.
It seems that Best needed more hair transplants because he did not maintain his results with minoxidil or finasteride, which led to the loss of his native hair, making his previous hair transplants ineffective.
Joe Buck: 10 Confirmed Hair Transplants
Emmy-winning sports presenter Joe Buck has set a record with a total of 10 hair transplant surgeries! He has a noticeable FUT scar on the back of his head from his first eight procedures. Despite undergoing eight surgeries, Buck was not satisfied with the results.
During his eighth hair transplant, Buck experienced a traumatic incident. He was placed under general anesthesia, and the breathing tube severely damaged his vocal cords, potentially jeopardizing his career.
Describing himself as a “hair transplant addict,” Buck decided to have two more procedures, this time using local anesthesia and the FUE extraction method. In his ninth hair transplant, 2,200 grafts were implanted using FUE incisions and DHI implanter pens.
After his tenth procedure, he seems happy with the results and has even stopped using hair fibers.
Jason Gardiner: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Jason Gardiner underwent a very public hair transplant journey. He had his first FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) procedure in 2010 and a year later, in 2011, he underwent a second FUT hair transplant, revealing the results on “Dancing on Ice.” He also recorded an entire live podcast episode on “The Bald Truth” with his surgeon during his second hair transplant procedure.
Before his surgery, Gardiner was classified as Norwood stage 6, which indicates advanced hair loss and is close to being fully bald. According to his surgeon, Gardiner received 3,501 grafts containing 8,000 hair follicles during his first hair transplant procedure and 2,500 grafts during his second procedure, totaling 6,001 grafts overall. His surgeon noted that laser therapy was used in the first two weeks post-surgery to aid in healing.
Prior to getting a hair transplant, Gardiner mentioned that he used a hair replacement system, which was glued into incisions on his scalp but later became septic and torturous. This leads us to believe that Gardiner may have had a Biofibre hair transplant, which has a very high rate of infections and rejections and is banned by the FDA.
Jamie Laing: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Reality TV star Jamie Laing’s hair transplant story is quite wild. In an interview with hairdresser Diane Buswell on the BBC Sounds YouTube channel, he revealed that he decided to get a hair transplant alongside his mate Rodney in Nottingham.
After walking through the “kitchen” of the surgeon, he entered the surgery room to receive a 2000 graft FUE hair transplant along his hairline.
Although Laing wanted to keep his hair transplant a secret, he was forced to go public when his friend Rodney revealed his own hair transplant. Jamie debuted his new look on “Made in Chelsea” in 2018.
Jamie Oliver: No Signs of Hair Transplant
British chef Jamie Oliver shows no signs of having a hair transplant, but most likely maintains his hair with medication.
Gordon Ramsay: Confirmed Hair Transplant
World-famous chef Gordon Ramsay was spotted leaving a Beverly Hills hair transplant clinic in 2011, with a post-op covering on his head and dressings on the donor area. While Ramsay admitted to some other cosmetic enhancements, such as fillers, he has been silent about the hair transplant.
Prince Harry: Confirmed Hair Transplant
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, had a hair transplant that did not endure the aging process, yet his FUT scar remains visible from certain angles.
Joe Biden: Unconfirmed
The 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, has struggled with significant hair loss since the rise of his political career in the 1980s. If Biden did undergo a hair transplant, it likely involved an outdated technique known as “hair plugs,” which uses larger grafts containing 10 to 20 follicles. In contrast, modern techniques utilize smaller grafts with 1 to 4 follicles.
Donald Trump: Unconfirmed
Donald Trump appears to have undergone a rotational forehead flap and the same outdated hair plug surgery, which aligns with the way the styles of whatever hair is left on his scalp.
Elon Musk: Unconfirmed
While Tesla’s CEO has been open about taking weight loss medications, he has not commented on his obvious hair transplant.
Jordan Peterson: Unconfirmed
Canadian psychology professor and political commentator Jordan Peterson seems to have had a hair transplant. Hair transplants can serve the same purpose as gender-affirming procedures, as they can increase confidence and help men embrace their healthy masculinity.
Joe Rogan: Confirmed Hair Transplant
In his podcast, Joe Rogan revealed that he underwent a hair transplant at the age of 28, describing it as “the dumbest thing he’s ever done.”
He referred to the scar from his Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) as large and resembling a smiling face. Rogan described the procedure by saying it felt like “moving people from a town where everybody is healthy into a town where everyone is dying.”
He explained that while his newly transplanted hair follicles remained, his native hair continued to fall out, which can occur if the hair transplant is not supported by proper medication.
Theo Von: Confirmed Hair Transplant
It was revealed on Joe Rogan’s podcast, as well as in other appearances, that Theo Von underwent a FUE hair transplant and received PRP treatment. Von describes the procedure as being similar to “reforestation.” Von mentioned on his own podcast that he even fell asleep during the surgery.
Von also discussed being on testosterone therapy for around 6 months and noted that hair loss was a significant side effect that led him to stop the therapy.

Yes, expert surgeons can identify if a celebrity has had a hair transplant, uses hair systems, applies concealers like hair fibers, or is on medications. However, it would be very difficult for the average person to differentiate between these methods.

In our list, celebrities have gotten hair transplants in the USA, the UK, Ireland, Spain, India, and Turkey. Celebrities tend to go for clinics/doctors with great results regardless of the pricing.
How much do celebrity hair transplants cost?
Celerity hair transplants can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $35,000, depending on the location of the celebrity’s hair transplant and the surgeon’s experience.

In very premium clinics in the UK or in the US hair transplants for celebrities can cost up to $35,000 or £30,000 for a standard 3000 graft hair transplant.
