Male Celebrities Who Wear Toupees and Wigs Due to Hair Loss

Hair loss is something that most males will experience in their lives. According to the American Hair Loss Association, some U.S. males start experiencing hair loss or hair thinning from the age of 21.

Going bald is natural and inescapable for some people. Even the sexiest guys on the planet, like male celebrities, actors, and sports players, anchors, can go bald when they get older. And wearing a hair system or toupee to transform the look has become a trend among bald male celebrities.

Modern hair systems and toupees are no more the old-fashion, stereotypical hairpieces your grandfather wore. They are more lightweight, absolutely undetectable, very comfortable to wear, and truly make you feel better about yourself.

Now, let’s dive directly into our list of male celebrities who wear toupees and get inspired by the classic, handsome hair system haircuts your favorite celebrities wear!

Matthew McConaughey

However, he actually went bald in the 90s, and now he is noticeably getting more hair, which could be attributed to hair transplant surgery or wearing an undetectable hair system or toupee.

Fortunately, the situation improved later, and now he appears in public with his trademark thick blonde hair, which means his hair restoration was a great success.

Although the public never stops rumoring about his hair loss solutions, he has never revealed the truth. Some of his fans guessed that he has done hair transplant surgery, whereas others believe he wears various wigs or toupees.

robert_patinson_thinning-hair

He was spotted with a short crop of hair receding at the front and sides in 2013, but in 2015 in the movie SPY, he made an appearance with a fuller head of hair. The change in his hair made many people guess that he wore a hair system or wig.

Pat Sajak

As an American television personality and game show host, Pat’s secret of wearing a toupee in public was revealed more than 14 years ago in 2008, when he told the audience that he had a big secret that he wanted to finally reveal to viewers in the show “Wheel of Fortune.” 

He claimed that his hair was not his own, but a hairpiece instead.

Vanna White, the longtime hostess of the show, was shocked after knowing that, as she plucked the toupee from his head, she squealed with surprise. 

With a broad smile on his face, Sajak turned to the camera, exclaiming that he felt so free now that his secret was out. Vanna clasped the wig in her hands while Sajak wished the audience a“Happy April First.”

But as he’s getting older, he’s more comfortable with himself and started to appear in the public without hats. But he was also spotted with signs of going bald after that.

However soon, Tim McGraw is spotted with a new look that appears to be restored hair. Many believe that this is the result of hair transplants or wearing a toupee.

Elton-John-hair-loss

Elton John may have a full head of hair today at the age of 73, but he’s had his fair share of hair problems in the past. He first claimed that his hair began to fall out at the age of 30, prompting him to seek a hair transplant.

However, the transplant failed, and he was forced to wear shoddy wigs, which brought a lot of unwanted attention, with one journalist claiming that he looked like he was wearing a dead squirrel on his head.

He now wears toupees and is really pleased with the way they appear on him.

He is thought to have had the problem fixed with a hair transplant or wearing a hair system since then. His hair is in better form now that he’s 52, yet his hairline has receded slightly.

And, based on his Instagram, Fraser appears to be following Kutcher’s lead by wearing hats more frequently.

Andre Agassi

andre_agassi_wearing_toupee-before-after-1

Andre Agassi, the former Wimbledon champion, admitted in his autobiography Open that the long lion-mane hairstyle he wore in the 90s was actually a wig.

He was very unlucky, as he started going bald at 19, a very young age. At first, he was very self-conscious about his baldness and, hence, wore a wig in public appearances and during matches.

However, he was so worried about his wig falling off during tennis matches that he did not play his best game. Finally, Andre Agassi chose to stop using wigs anymore and shave his head instead, which helped him feel freer on the court and led him to even greater success.

Wigs and toupees are tools to help you achieve A BETTER YOU; they should never be the chains that limit you. Newtimes Hair is a wholesale human hair wigs distributor, but we do not believe that everyone who’s bald should use a toupee. We hope you only use one when it makes you look and feel better.

Jason Alexander

Jason-Alexander-hair-loss

Jimmy-Fallon-using-a-bald-cap-in-a-talk-show

Jimmy Fallon, a household name in the US, is a famous American television host, comedian, and actor. He is known for his work in television as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live”.

Neither Jimmy Fallon himself has admited that he wears a toupee, not there has been any evidence suggesting that Jimmy ever wears a toupee. Discussions about whether he’s wearing wigs never stops.

The reason many people think he wears a toupee is his hairstyle has been so consistent for such a long time with little change. Actually, Jimmy made fun of his hair on several occasions in the past, and he had tried different wigs a few times just for the sake of acting.

Gene Simmons

Years later, his band tweeted a photo implying that is really the case.

  1. Hairtransplant x3
    You only go around once it’s the best thing I ever did for myself and let me be me for the last 15 years!!!!

  2. The most obvious to me is Pat Metheny. His philosophy is clearly GO BIG or go home. A ginormous hair system, his hair was thinning out 30 years ago….if you’ve got the money (and time) why not?

● What hobbies and interests do you have?

I enjoy exercising. That’s a very important part of my life. I’m a super active person.

● Do you have a phobia? If you do, what is it?

No, not that I know of. I’m a very realistic person. If you mention outlandish stuff like aliens, monster in the bush, I’d be out of my mind.

● What is something you would love to do in the future?

I want to learn how to swim. I know it might sound a bit sarcastic, as I just mentioned that I enjoy doing exercise. Unfortunately, swimming hasn’t been on my list. I think I better catch up on that.

● What wig would you wear if you wore one and why?

I’d give HW1 a try. It looks natural and beautiful. Though we categorize it as a medical wig, almost any female can wear it. It’s got a lace mesh base, breathable, and flexible. You don’t need glue or tape to fix it to your head. Pretty easy, and it gives you all the long hair look a girl could want.

  • How would people in the office describe you?

At our end-of-year conference, my colleagues agreed that I’m a warm hearted, positive, and easy-going teammate. It gives me a sense of reward.

  • Do you have a phobia? If you do, what is it?

I don’t like being confined in a very small space. I believe it was due to a childhood experience. When I was six years old, I accidentally tripped and fell into a shallow well. I had to wait for two hours before I was found. Since then, I’ve found I just can’t tolerate the idea of being alone. I guess that makes me an active team player.

  • You are happiest when…

This may sound boastful, but it’s true. It’s just part of my nature to help others. When I actually see that what I did for them has helped them achieve something, it just makes me excited.

  • Which mens/womens hair system do you sell the most? Why that model?

I recomend HS25V. Oftentimes I’d introduce this model to my new clients to start with, so they can introduce this to their new clients see if hair systems are what really suit them, before they carry on with lace or mono hair systems.

Plus, all our clients have faith in the quality of this hair system. According to their feedback, this is an easy-to-attach, easy-to-maintain hair system for both men and women.

  • Which men/womens hair system do you sell the most? Why that model?

New Australia. When it first came out in early 2023, it made me top of sales. I think most wearers like it because at the design statge, our experts considered all possible aspects people could want from a hairpiece, such as a natural look, a level of comfort, and affordablity; it’s similar to lace, but most wearers can afford.
