How Does Hugh Grant Do It?

Even without his signature floppy hair, it is hard to ignore how well Hugh Grant's hairline is holding up at age 55. 

By the age of 50, most men will experience noticeable hair loss. This raises the question, is it his genes or preventive treatments? I wouldn't put it past the actor to have started preventive treatments early on - the most likely candidates are Propecia and Rogaine. Although low level laser therapy and Viviscal are also possible.

And it isn't just Grant's hairline that is worthy of attention. He was recently named among the top celebrities who look better with gray hair! 

Whatever he's doing, it's definitely working. If he sticks to a multi-therapy approach, he could still have this strong, full hairline 10 years from now.

Did Vanity Fair Photoshop Prince William's Bald Spot?

Prince William and his family are on the cover of the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, but if you look close, you'll notice that Prince William's bald spot seems to have vanished, leaving many questioning whether or not the magazine did a little photoshopping. 

I can't say for sure, but if you compare his cover portrait to other photos, you will notice his hair does appear a little thicker. 

I've discussed Prince William's hair loss in the past on this site, at 32, he has advanced male pattern hair loss for his age - in fact, he's a Norwood Class III-vertex, progressing quickly toward IV and beyond. In my opinion, it would be best to start a multi-therapy approach immediately that combines finasteride (Propecia), minoxidil (Rogaine) and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Non-invasive FDA-approved therapies can start reversing the miniaturization of the hair follicles immediately. Because hair growth rates are slow, the results will take 3-9 months to become appreciated. A microsurgical FUE hair transplant with NeoGraft (the "Cadillac of hair transplants") would also do wonders for him. 

The good news is, if Prince William decides he likes the look of a fuller head of hair, there are many options available today to restore his lost follicles. 

How Does John Stamos Do It?

At 50, John Stamos continues to keep his remarkably full hairline. Which leaves many asking, how does he do it? As most people know, the hair loss risk increases with age. But, specifically, at his age, Stamos is defying a nearly 50-percent chance of hair loss! Again, how does he do it? 

It's my guess that Stamos has taken a very proactive approach in protecting his hairline over the last 10 to 20 years, and probably uses some type of preventative treatment - like FDA approved Propecia. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's used Rogaine from time to time (although treatment should be consistent to be effective) and low level laser therapy.

Just a hunch, but hair as good as his usually requires medical intervention. But will it last forever? Not without medical treatments like the ones I described above. Hair loss today is a treatable condition but proactive treatment and early detections are key to achieving optimal results! 

Recession Alert - Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch is having a good week, with this morning's announcement of his Emmy nomination for his role in Sherlock. While his character on the show sports curly hair, out of character, you can see that the actor is starting to see some early signs of temporal recession. 

Cumberbatch, 37, is still enjoying a full head of hair, but if you look close, you can see that his hairline is beginning to recede in the temporal region, which is not at all uncommon for an aging hairline. While he may seem young, 30 percent of men face some degree of hair loss in their 30s, and the risk goes up according to age, 40 percent in your 40s, 50 percent in your 50s, and so on. 

He might want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. 

He would hardly be the first actor to take action against hair loss, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before. New technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many actors looking to enhance their looks discreetly. 

Kate Pokes Fun at William's Thinning Hair

The always charming Duchess of Cambridge made new fans this week after she jokingly poked fun at her husband's bald spot, suggesting he think about an alpaca toupee. 

While this was obviously not a serious suggestion, Prince William does have options when it comes to his balding crown. 

At 31, Prince William has advanced male pattern hair loss for his age - in fact, he's a Norwood Class III-vertex, progressing quickly toward IV and beyond. My suggestion would be to start a multi-therapy approach immediately that combines finasteride (Propecia), minoxidil (Rogaine) and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Non-invasive FDA-approved therapies can start reversing the miniaturization of the hair follicles immediately. Because hair growth rates are slow, the results will take 3-9 months to become appreciated.

Recession Alert: Chris Hemsworth

Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, 30, has risen to fame thanks to his popular super hero roles, but one fight his "golden hammer" isn't going to help him with is his receding hairline.

In photos from Sunday's Oscars, you can see deepening recession in the temporal region, which isn't uncommon for a man his age. Thirty percent of men in their 30s experience hair loss and the number increases to 40 percent as men enter their 40s. While Hemsworth's hairline is maturing, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair.

He might want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. 

He would hardly be the first actor to take action against hair loss, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before. New technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many actors looking to enhance their looks discreetly. 

Will Rob Lowe's Hair Ever Age?

An almost 50-year old Rob Lowe continues to keep his remarkably full hairline. Which leaves many asking, how does he do it? As most people know, the hair loss risk increases with age. But, specifically, at his age, Mr. Lowe is defying a nearly 50-percent chance of hair loss! Again, how does he do it? 

It's my guess that Lowe has taken a very proactive approach in protecting his hairline over the last 10 to 20 years, and probably uses some type of preventative treatment - like FDA approved Propecia. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's used Rogaine from time to time (although treatment should be consistent to be effective) and low level laser therapy.

Just a hunch, but hair as good as his usually requires medical intervention. But will it last forever? Not without medical treatments like the ones I described above. Hair loss today is a treatable condition but proactive treatment and early detections are key to achieving optimal results! 

Recession Alert: Rider Strong

Boy Meets World will soon be rebooted, and if Rider Strong is planning on making a TV comeback, he may want to think about starting some preventative care for his receding hairline.

As you can see in the photo, Strong, 33, is seeing some deep recession in the temporal region. In other words, his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, but fortunately for the young actor, he has an otherwise full head of hair.

While 33 might seem early for hair loss, in reality, 30 percent of men in their 30s experience some degree of hair loss, with the risk jumping to 40 percent for men in their 40s. Were he to invest in regular Rogaine and Low Level Laser Therapy treatments now, he could prevent further recession while at the same time stimulating growth.

When it comes to hair loss, preventative care is key. Science has proven if you wait until the hair loss is visible to the naked eye, you're too late - you've already lost 50 percent. In Rider's case, it would be wise to consult a hair restoration specialist now and consider starting on preventative treatments to ensure he keeps the hair that he has strong and healthy. 

Recession Alert: Vince Vaughn

A receding hairline is no laughing matter, and I'm sure funnyman Vince Vaughn would agree. Like many men his age, Vaughn, 43, is seeing recession in his temporal region. This isn't uncommon, in fact, 40 percent of men in their 40s have some signs of hair loss, with the risk going up to 50 percent for men in their 50s.

The good news for Vince is, while his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair. But since he enjoys his time in the spotlight, he may want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. Low level laser therapy is another popular option for those looking to stimulate healthy hair growth.

Is Alec Baldwin's Hairline Recession-Proof?

Alec Baldwin's new MSNBC show debuts soon, and I can't help but notice how well the actor's hairline is holding up at age 55. 

So how does he do it? 

Although Baldwin does have some mild recession in the temporal points, overall his hair is in remarkable shape. By the age of 50, most men will experience noticeable hair loss. This raises the question, is it his genes or preventive treatments? I wouldn't put it past the actor to have started preventive treatments early on - the most likely candidates are Propecia and Rogaine. Although low level laser therapy and Viviscal are also possible.

Whatever he's doing, it's definitely working. If he sticks to a multi-therapy approach, he could still have this strong, full hairline 10 years from now.

Recession Alert: Jason Segel

Jason Segel's final season of How I Met Your Mother starts next week, and though the show will no doubt keep us laughing, I can't help but notice the growing prominence of Segel's receding hairline.  

As you can see in the photo, Segel, 33, is seeing recession in the temporal region. In other words, his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, but fortunately for the young actor, he has yet to see any frontal balding. He is also fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair. 

While 33 might seem early for hair loss, in reality, 30 percent of men in their 30s experience some degree of hair loss, with the risk jumping to 40 percent for men in their 40s. Were he to invest in regular Rogaine and Low Level Laser Therapy treatments now, he could prevent further recession while at the same time stimulating growth.

Recession Alert: Mark Ruffalo

Actor Mark Ruffalo was photographed lately looking a bit more mature than normal. The Avengers' star seems to be taking a page from George Clooney's book and is embracing his inner silver fox!

But in addition to his salt and pepper locks, Mark is also seeing a bit of temporal recession, which isn't at all uncommon for a man his age (45). 40 percent of men in their 40s experience hair loss and the number increases to 50 percent as men enter their 50s. But the good news is, while his hairline is maturing, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair.

It isn't too late for Ruffalo to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. He would hardly be the first actor to take action against hair loss, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before.

Recession Alert: Vincent Kartheiser

Mad Men's Vincent Kartheiser will have some extra time on his hands soon when his show ends, which he may want to use to seek counsel on his receding hairline. 

As you can see in the photo, Vincent, 34, is seeing some deep recession in the temporal region. In other words, his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, but fortunately for the young actor, he has an otherwise full head of hair. 

While 34 might seem early for hair loss, in reality, 30 percent of men in their 30s experience some degree of hair loss, with the risk jumping to 40 percent for men in their 40s. Were he to invest in regular Rogaine and Low Level Laser Therapy treatments now, he could prevent further recession while at the same time stimulating growth.

Recession Alert: Chris Hemsworth

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has quickly risen to fame thanks to prominent roles in action movies like Thor and The Avengers, but one fight his "golden hammer" isn't going to help him with is his receding hairline.

In photos of the young star, 29, you can see broad temporal recession, which isn't uncommon for a man his age. Thirty percent of men in their 30s experience hair loss and the number increases to 40 percent as men enter their 40s. While Hemsworth's hairline is maturing, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair.

Recession Alert: Lance Armstrong

After losing millions in endorsements, not to mention the adoration of his fans, it appears Lance Armstrong has another problem - a receding hairline. 

As you can see from photos, Lance, 41, has deep recession in the temporal region, which isn't at all uncommon for a man his age. In fact, 40 percent of all men experience some hair loss in their 40s.

But since he is likely going to be spending more time in the spotlight as he continues to answer questions regarding his drug scandal,  he may want to consider some preventative options. FDA-approved Rogaine or Propecia could help stop further recession, while a regimen of Low Level Laser Therapy could stimulate healthy hair growth.

Lance would hardly be the first athlete/celebrity to embrace these treatments, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before. New technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many actors looking to enhance their looks discreetly. 

Marco Rubio's Hair Woes?

A new story in Esquire magazine claims Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) - a presumed 2016 presidential hopeful - is "not far off from combover city." Even the Washington Post chimed in, wondering if baldness would hold back this rising GOP star.

The political implications of hair loss is a question that has come up before, with other politicians: Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain, to name a few.

It's interesting to note here that hair loss is one of the only areas where male candidates face personal style or beauty critiques from the political pundits. For women, it's obviously much worse - female candidates are often heavily/unfairly scrutinized for their clothes, shoes, accessories, makeup and hair style. But, for men, it is typically reserved to the combover. 

As the Washington Post noted: 

"We haven't had a bald-ish president since Eisenhower, and balding men in uniform get a free pass. Before that there were Martin Van Buren, John Quincy Adams, and - well, Gerald R. Ford's hair was making a pretty stealthy getaway, if you stopped to notice it." 

So, will Rubio's hair loss affect his political aspirations? It would be foolish to draw a direct connection between a candidate's hair loss and his (or her) electoral chances. However, in our media-saturated culture, appearance is clearly important - and having a full head of hair could help at some (perhaps subconscious) level with voters. 

Politicians shouldn't rule out any advantage - or disadvantage. With four years until the 2016 election, Rubio would have plenty of time to reverse his thinning hair. A NeoGraft FUE hair transplant would do wonders for restoring his natural hair line and filling in those bald spots. That, along with a comprehensive treatment regimen (potentially Propecia, Rogaine, Low Level Laser Therapy), would give him a full head of hair that would certainly quiet the critics.

Recession Alert: Bobby Flay

Food Network star Bobby Flay appears to be losing the "throwdown" with hair loss! 

Flay, 47, like many men his age, is seeing recession in his temporal region. This isn't uncommon, in fact, 40 percent of men in their 40s have some signs of hair loss, with the risk going up to 50 percent for men in their 50s. 

The good news for Flay is, while his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair. But since he enjoys his time in the spotlight, he may want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. Low level laser therapy is another popular option for those looking to stimulate healthy hair growth.  

More celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before, as new technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many looking to enhance their looks discreetly.

Recession Alert: Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul

"Photo by PR Photos"

Fans can't wait for Aaron Paul's hit show Breaking Bad to return this summer. But I'm curious to see whether or not the young star has decided to take action against his receding hairline. 

Paul, 32, tends to keep his hair closely shaven, perhaps to hide the fact that he is seeing some recession in his temporal region. While that is one way to deal with hair loss, there are many other non-invasive treatment options available.

The actor might want to think about a preventative treatment, like FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. Paul would hardly be the first celebrity to embrace these treatments, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before. New technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many actors looking to enhance their looks discreetly.
