Top Story: 6 Male Celebrities Who Have Had Hair Transplants

Money, fame, accolades, adoration. It seems celebrities have it all. Well, except sometimes hair. Luckily for these 6 stars, hair transplants were able to turn them from balding to scalding.

John Travolta

John Travolta has a reputation for keeping things hidden, and that clearly includes his baldness. It’s apparent the formerly thinning star had a major hair transplant. Whether the improvement was an attempt to recapture the lush-headed glory of his Grease days or simply distract the public from other whispers, there’s no denying John and his new hair go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong.

Jeremy Piven

Real life Benjamin Button, Jeremy Piven, looks decades younger post-hair transplant than he did during his balding years in the 90s. The star would have needed more than an Entourage to mask his former dome. It’s clear that a hair transplant was responsible for Piven’s dramatic transformation, which allowed him to go from playing bald-as-a-cue-ball George Costanza in Seinfeld’s show-within-a-show scene to the alluring Ari Gold.

Elton John

Elton John may have dazzled the world in the early 70s when he sang about “Tiny Dancer”, but in reality, the tiniest thing in his life was the amount of hair on his head. The superstar couldn’t hide it when he became one of the first public figures to receive a hair transplant, and he freely admitted to the procedure. Bennie may have worn a mohair suit, but after his transplant, Elton was the one rocking a mo’ hair head.

Gordon Ramsay

Screaming at hapless cooks all day in your prestigious restaurant kitchen is enough to make a chef tear his hair out, which is possibly why Gordon Ramsay found himself in need of a transplant. The results look so great, even the famously cranky chef must be pleased, even if he’s decidedly displeased with his former publicist, whom he’s suing for allegedly leaking the news. Gordon should let go of his embarrassment, embrace his awesome new look, and do what he does best: shout (the news from the rooftops).

A.J. McLean

The 90s may not seem very distant, but they were long enough ago for Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean to lose the majority of his hair since his heartthrob heyday.  The bald boy bander decided to quit playin’ games with his hair and tackle the problem with a transplant. He was so thrilled with the results, he shared them with the world on Instagram. A.J.’s back, all right!

Matthew McConaughey

You don’t become People’s Sexiest Man Alive with a bald head, something Matthew McConaughey knows all too well. He seems to have gotten a hair transplant sometime before his 2005 crowning, judging from his 1999 mugshot following his arrest for marijuana possession. Although he attributes his newfound thickness to a natural treatment, the pot must have gone to his newly be-haired head if he expects us to believe anything but a hair transplant gave him such excellent results.
