If they worked that well you would not see so many bald men around. There aren't that many men that are fine with having a shiny dome. And it seems that younger and younger men are having thinning hair in the front.
Even it seems more women are having thinning hair. Is it an environmental thing?

Harry Connick Jr had the old 'flap' procedure and softened it with modern micrografts -- same with Sly Stallone. Joel McHale had a top notch FUT surgery, as did Christian Slater and Patrick Warburton. Seth MacFarlane also had his hairline touched up via FUT/FUE. Piven had an FUT (strip) procedure, but often wears toupee or heavy Toppik on set to buffer. Transplants done by top clinics are terrific these days but as always, it comes down to the severity of the existing loss, the quality of the donor hair (whether it's fine, coarse, miniaturized via diffuse thinning). Rupert Everett has had several transplants (he wore a toupee in Best Friend's Wedding, Earnest and Ideal Husband prior to the procedure). Bradley Cooper had minor touchup to the front of his hairline. The celebrities with the best results tend to have only minor loss...the smaller the area, the more grafts that can be packed into it = better (illusion) of density.

Fine lace hairpieces have been the goto in Hollywood since the 1930s...pretty much every major male star resorted to wearing them (whether they were balding or not). Max Factor used to handle a lot of the wigmaking for major stars/studios (both for men and women). Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bobby Darin, Jimmy Stewart (used partials from the late 50s onwards), Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, John Wayne, Sean Connery...the list goes on and on. Some definitely better than others. The systems seen in R25 are becoming more the 'norm' these days...and with the right density, coloring and design, can be incredibly convincing. Look up 'New Roots' hair systems on YT and you'll see some amazing systems at play. The downside of them outside of the film/TV world is they're expensive, don't last very long (maybe 2-3 months per piece) and the hair/color can dull quickly. They're also a pain in the ass to maintain with all the glue/tape residue and reattachments...but if you have someone to do it for you and cash to burn, they give a far better look than more transplants. Particularly on those actors who are fargone in their baldness (an NW6/7 as we say). Kevin James, Jeremy Piven, Bill Shatner, Billy Bob Thornton, Travolta (though his aren't a great example!) are all examples of this.

[[R29]] Billy Eichner wears that kind.

by Anonymous | reply 29 | August 2, 2018 12:35 PM |
R29 - Eichner is actually a combination of Toppik/Dermmatch concealer and hairspray. Seth MacFarlane cakes his (new) hairline in the same fashion, as do many male celebs appearing on camera. The reality is, very few men have enough density to go up against the harshness of HD lighting, so they use concealers and sprays to add fibres (and darken the scalp) to counteract this. Jon Cryer's 'hair' on Two and a Half Men was a triumph of makeup. There's a small amount of hair (failed transplant?) around the hairline and the rest are hair fibres, makeup and hairspray (he admitted this on an episode of Conan). David Spade has had a couple transplant surgeries -- the first wasn't great (pluggy) but the subsequent touch-up has given him an incredibly good result.
IIRC, Allison Janney was the subject of a blind item of an actress who never wears her own hair on-camera due to alopecia...? Not sure about the alopecia remark but a good many women in TV/Film opt for a hairpiece to cut down wear-and-tear (and styling time in the hair room). Julia Louis Dreyfus, Julianna Margulies, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin (on G&F) are all wigged. Though JLD's are easily the best of the bunch (in terms of looking natural and mimicking her natural hair).

Jury is out on Adam Levine getting restorative work done on his hairline...it's definitely suspect. However, Brendon Urie (of Panic at the Disco) most definitely had his hairline (specifically the corners) restored a couple of years ago. He was thinning rapidly in earlier music videos and now has a densely packed hairline. Apparently Ben Affleck (long rumored to be a toupee wearer -- not true) had a touch-up done to his hairline and bald spot a few years ago...you can see the difference in Project Greenlight footage from the early 2000s vs the reboot a couple years ago. The one exception is Affleck as Bruce Wayne...he wears a hairpiece for the role that gives him a more pronounced widow's peak.
Tom Hanks also had a transplant some years ago...and wisely kept it natural looking in its recession/density. He uses hairpieces for specific character parts, but by and large, uses his own hair in most projects. This is why Joel McHale's hair transplant looks so damn good...they didn't attempt to give him his juvenile hairline back...but rather a mature, receded look that compliments his age, face shape and existing hair.
Tina Fey, Poehler and Aniston all use their own hair...occasionally augmenting with extensions. Outside of SNL, they're not known wig wearers on sets.

by Anonymous | reply 60 | August 3, 2018 7:09 PM |
Clooney's hair is all his own -- there's no lace to be found on his head. The hairline is asymmetrical and mature in the sense it's receded slightly over the years (as 98% of all caucasian male's hairlines do thru the years). Whether he had some touch-ups with an FUT procedure is hard to tell but his hairline has stayed more or less the same for 20+ years. Jon Hamm also has excellent hair and is NOT wearing a toupee. The Hamm toupee rumors are some of the most ridiculous going around...I don't get it!
There was definitely some smoke when it comes to Affleck's hair, particularly in the 90s, but the reality is he has very thick (density-wise) and coarse hair (strand-wise), which in its youth especially can give the illusion of a hard-fronted toupee. He's likely had some restorative work done, but there's no way he's bald. And there's no way you can achieve his all-over density thru a hair transplant (only in concentrated areas). R60 - this is the big tell for hair-wearers...as is evidenced by Travolta's "buzz cut" toupee. The buzz cut is not really something that can be convincingly mimicked with a hairpiece...the lace system becomes apparent and the lack of natural cowlicks/direction in the hair makes it look more like a hair yarmulke!
Ben Stiller had some subtle work done to his hairline a couple of years ago...it's a natural result that reinforces rather than reinvents his existing hairline. Liam Neeson also had his hairline reinforced many years ago...it's a fair result typically bolstered with Toppik/concealer. He has finer hair, so even with the best transplant, it doesn't give the same illusion of density as those with coarser/thicker hair strands.
by Anonymous | reply 61 | August 3, 2018 10:45 PM |
I think some of the misguided rumors about Affleck came about from that film where he played George Reeves (Superman). Was it called Hollywoodland?
He wears a hairpiece through all or much of it but it was there to create more of a smooth and slick brilliantined hairstyle of the 1940s/50s, not to compensate for a lack of hair.
There's no way that the buzz-cut hair he sports in The Town could not be all his own.

Agreed R62 -- I think this is likely wear things began to amp, but to your point it was a stylistic choice...and not for any lack of hair. Regrettably, I have to rescind my comments about Jon Hamm's hair...I hadn't seen Jon in recent years and sadly it does appear he's thinning thru the front/middle. At first I thought it might be a character choice (for Baby Driver) but candid photos and more recent set photos suggest he's suffering from latter day MPB/diffuse thinning. His thinning pattern is actually reminiscent of Pierce Brosnan's...largely affecting the middle area just behind the hairline but not the crown, almost an alopecia areata. Pierce's hair has looked better in recent years though so perhaps he had a little restorative work done in the affected areas.

Offsite Linkby Anonymous | reply 65 | August 3, 2018 11:21 PM |
R65 - Amazingly, yes they can. It's a very manufactured result though -- hairsprayed and styled within an inch of its life. In looking at other photos of Eichner, at first I thought he might have a small partial hairpiece in the front (just behind his existing hairline) which might have been the case once or two, but other photos suggest it's largely makeup/fibers/concealer and a volumized style that gives the illusion of density. Eichner did mention he had been on Rogaine (maybe even Propecia?) on WWHL and had done some miracles for him...so perhaps enough native hair was regained/strengthened to then augment with Toppik/dermmatch. It doesn't appear to be a transplant at this stage though he'd be an excellent candidate given his hair characteristics and relatively small area needed to be covered.

R83 - Eric's hair is all his own. He's been receding/thinning very mildly in the front since the beginning of W&G but fortunately has maintained the majority. I imagine he hopped on Propecia early and that arrested further loss. I imagine, like most men on TV these days, the hair/makeup team are using some concealer/Toppik to thicken the appearance but there's no wigging at this point.
Re: Skarsgard, the jury is still out. Longer styles can give the illusion of more hair/density, whereas shorter ones can put out the shortcomings (particularly in the hairline). More recent photos show a more symmetrical hairline, with defined corners - so there's a good chance he might have had a tune-up at some point but it could very well be his native/original hair.
Ryan Reynolds had some mild thinning happening in the very front of his hairline maybe 7-8 years ago but that seems to have disappeared -- so he likely had a minor touchup (or had success with Rogaine) along the way. Keaton had an old-fashioned transplant in the early 90s (around Batman) but it's of the pluggier variety (you can see the donor scar in recent film work). Luckily, the look suits him so no harm, no foul. However, Keaton did wear a partial piece for several films in the late 80s/early 90s -- not unlike Paul Reiser who also eventually opted for a transplant. Jeff Goldblum appears to have had some minor touch-up work done as well, as he was thinning out in the 90s. While his current hairline is mature/receded, the hair seems stronger/healthier than before -- though it could also be that his hair is gray now which by nature is slightly thicker/coarser in appearance.
by Anonymous | reply 90 | August 5, 2018 2:48 AM |
If Keaton had a transplant, he probably had it removed, as he's pretty much bald/receeded now. Paul Reiser had a transplant? His hair's pretty thin, and there was always the rumor going around that he wore a toupee in the Mad About You days.
Goldblum's hair appears to be his own, like you said, I think the grey makes it look denser.

Question -- I read a lot about Toppik on DL.
Is it something that only looks good on camera or do people wear it off-camera as well, e.g. is it noticeable in person or does it just look like the person has thicker, very styled hair?

r128, toppik is good if you have a bald spot in the back, or you just want to give the top of your head the appearance of darkness. Toppik at the hairline would be very noticeable in person.

Thanks R129.
So someone could be using it day to day and the average person who saw them in person would not even realize, correct?

I think it depends, r130. If you are conversing closely with someone at eye level, you might notice "something" - in passing or without close examination, then you probably wouldn't realize.

R10.. I know. You see more women, even young women, with receding and thinning/balding hair. I never saw that when growing up. Women always had a full head of hair.. maybe some with thin hair, but no balding. Hair transplants are very expensive, and not everyone can afford it. You also need a good patch of hair to harvest. Men are lucky... they have the option of shaving their head, and still be attractive. Women don't have that option. Kevin Costner's transplant looks good.. pretty natural. Transplants done right, can look great. I wonder why women have this problem now? I know, with age and menopause, with the female hormones diminishing.. and sometimes the male hormones are stronger.. but, why young women? It's very depressing for a woman.. worse than a man. Men are expected to go bald and is accepted, but women.. not so much.

All that talk about Toppik reminds me of the Ron Popeil and GLH9 infomercials.

Toppik only works if bald spots are not very severe, of course. And the color match has to be perfect (which ain't easy) or it can look like spray paint.
It's used often on Broadway stages which afford enough distance to the audience.

I’ve been using Toppik for 6 years. Never once has anyone detected it. At first it took me some time to learn to properly apply it, and as stated above matching the color is quite crucial. But if you’re only thin on top it’s a game changer.

I understand that the guy at this link is young and wants to have some years with hair (albeit fake hair), but if he just shaved that head bald and fucking OWNED it, he would be 50x more fuckable (to me).

Alexander Skarsgard as mentioned above is one of the starkest before and afters I've seen. I knew he had a receding hairline at some point, but that after photo has sooooo much hair and it looks pretty natural too so good for him.
Rev up those 'before' photos for Ricky Martin because he'll probably get hair plugs by the time he turns 50. The hair on the crown of his head has visibly thinned and his hairline is receding.

You can use Toppik style fibers on a daily basis if you use it correctly:
Style your hair first.
If you're lighter than medium brown: Blend 2 colors together (one shade lighter and your shade)
Dark Brown or Black (try to go one shade lighter, NEVER use black)
in an atomizer like the link below, use small, quick, gentle puffs about an 1"-2" away from your scalp (use the long nose to get in your mid scalp. When you get closer to your hairline, try to make the puffs more diffuse by pulling away the atomizer about an inch farther away. Stop about an 1/2 inch from your actual hairline, so you don't look like you have a Ken doll hairline. Spritz hairspray to seal the fibers, then clean up your forehead for any fallout. This takes a bit of practice (most people tend to squeeze too hard, which gives you a hard circle of fibers on your scalp), but once you get it, you can get it done in about 5-10 minutes.
