The Truth to Rumors Justin Bieber Is Balding After Fans Call Out His ‘Insane' Hair Transformation
After writing a scathing Instagram caption about his wife, Justin Bieber is receiving another kind of hate, for something he might not control. Netizens are discussing his hair transformation, and it's bringing a broader conversation about body image and male beauty standards. The Internet went up in flames when one person posted on X, 'justin bieber balding at 31 years is insane😭' alongside two different photos of the singer. Many fans seemed to be appalled at the change with one fan writing, 'he took his wife's surname too srsly' referring to her maiden name Baldwin. More from StyleCaster Hailey Bieber's Latest Move Speaks Volumes About Her Marriage With Justin Bieber After He Felt 'So Disrespected' by His Wife Hailey Bieber Just Reacted to Justin Kissing SZA's Hand on Stage as Fans Claim He 'Humiliated' His Wife Another fan defended the singer writing, 'The man is stressed.. leave him alone.' Lots of people in the quote tweets also recognized that younger people might regret what they say about balding men in the future. 'gen Z genuinely does not seem to grasp the concept of aging. the idea of being 30 is unimaginable to them. good luck lol,' one person wrote. Justin Bieber's appearance has had a lot of changes over the years, and he's recently been sporting a buzzcut or wearing a beanie. Nonetheless, it's really common for men in their early 30s and late 20s to be balding. According to the American Hair Loss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of noticeable hair loss, and by the age of fifty, approximately 85% of men will have significantly thinning Bieber's hair used to be everything in the cultural zeitgeist. When he rose to fame, the Bieber haircut was the trend where men would put their swooping hair over their eyes. 'It's a calculated move' to cut his hair, Randy Sosin, a former executive at MTV and Interscope Records, told WSJ in 2011 when the singer was 16. 'His hair is not that different, he's not changing it that much, but he's making it more of an event. Everything he does is something.' In fact, Justin just debuted his buzzcut earlier this year in March. His other iconic hair eras include a pompadour, sleek combovers, cornrows, and locs. So it wouldn't be surprising that he would be constantly evolving his hair. However, men still struggle with body image issues when it comes to their hair. 'When someone looks in the mirror,' psychologist Sue McHale told the Guardian, 'often the person they see is someone they no longer recognise. It can leave your self-image fractured, dramatically changed.'Best of StyleCaster The 26 Best Romantic Comedies to Watch if You Want to Know What Love Feels Like These 'Bachelor' Secrets & Rules Prove What Happens Behind the Scenes Is So Much Juicier BTS's 7 Members Were Discovered in the Most Unconventional Ways

What Causes Baldness? Everything You Need to Know About Hair Loss and Hair Growth Solutions.
Are you starting to notice your hairline receding or more strands falling out than usual? You're not alone. Hair loss is incredibly common—especially for men —and it often sparks questions like Boca Raton, FL, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Are you starting to notice your hairline receding or more strands falling out than usual? You're not alone. Hair loss is incredibly common—especially for men —and it often sparks questions like:When does balding start? Why am I losing my hair? Is it reversible? In this guide, we'll cover what causes baldness, the different types of hair loss, and proven hair growth treatments—including laser hair growth red light therapy—to help you take action early and effectively. What Causes Baldness? The leading cause of baldness in men is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. According to the American Hair Loss Association, it accounts for over 95% of all hair loss in men. This condition is genetic and triggered by a sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a byproduct of testosterone. Over time, DHT causes hair follicles to shrink, shortens the hair growth cycle, and eventually stop producing new hair. How Does Male Pattern Baldness Start? Male pattern baldness typically progresses in two common patterns: Receding Hairline – Hair starts thinning at the temples and moves backward. Thinning Crown – Hair at the top of the scalp begins to thin, often forming a bald spot. In advanced stages, these patterns merge, leaving a horseshoe-shaped hair ring around the sides and back of the scalp. When Does Balding Usually Start? Hair loss can begin surprisingly early. Here's a breakdown by age: Before 21: 25% of men with hereditary baldness show signs By 35: 66% have some degree of noticeable hair loss By 50: 85% of men experience significantly thinning hair While the onset and speed of balding vary, acting early is key to preserving existing hair. Other Causes of Hair Loss While male pattern baldness is the most common culprit, other factors can trigger hair loss: Alopecia Areata An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy hair follicles. Hair falls out in patches and may affect the scalp, eyebrows, beard, or eyelashes. Telogen Effluvium Sudden, temporary hair shedding caused by stress, illness, surgery, or weight loss. Hair typically regrows in 2–6 months. Nutritional Deficiencies Lack of iron, protein, vitamin D, or other essential nutrients can affect hair growth and cause shedding. Medications Prescription drugs like chemotherapy agents, blood thinners, antidepressants, and acne treatments may lead to temporary hair loss. Once the medication is stopped, hair often regrows. Effective Treatments for Hair Loss and Baldness Fortunately, there are several clinically proven options for promoting hair growth and slowing the progression of baldness: Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Red Light Therapy Devices like Hairmax , and use medical-grade red light lasers to stimulate hair follicles and boost natural hair growth. Benefits of Laser Hair Growth Devices: Drug-free and Clinically Proven No harmful side effects Safe, non-invasive, and effective for men and women Can be used at home in just minutes per session Hairmax laser hair growth therapy is clinically proven to treat pattern hair loss and help reverse thinning. Early treatment can help avoid more invasive options like surgery. Medications Minoxidil (Rogaine): An over-the-counter topical that stimulates hair growth. It may take 4–6 months for visible effects include: Scalp irritation, Unwanted facial/body hair growth, and Contact dermatitis. Finasteride (Propecia): A prescription oral medication for men only that reduces DHT levels and slows hair loss. Side effects include: Decreased libido, Erectile dysfunction, and Breast tenderness or enlargement. Hair Transplant Surgery FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) are surgical options for advanced cases. These procedures redistribute hair from dense areas to bald spots for permanent results. Pros and Cons of Proven Hair Growth Treatments Topical & Oral Medications:Pros: Clinically Proven, effective with consistent useCons: Potential side effects, must be used indefinitely Laser Hair Growth Therapy:Pros: Drug-free, safe, Clinically Proven, non-invasiveCons: Higher upfront cost, but cost-effective over time, requires consistency How to Help Prevent Hair Loss Before It Starts While you can't change your genetics, you can take action to maintain healthier hair longer: Use laser hair therapy early at the first signs of thinning Eat a nutrient-rich diet with enough iron, protein, and vitamin D Reduce stress through exercise, sleep, or mindfulness Avoid smoking and minimize harsh styling practices Talk to your doctor if medications are contributing to hair loss Baldness can be a frustrating experience—but it doesn't have to be permanent. Whether you're dealing with early signs of thinning or more advanced hair loss, there are clinically tested ways to stimulate hair growth and reclaim your confidence.

Bald men are resurrecting the toupee — here's what women think about the throwback style
They don't want toupee for hair transplants. Balding millennial men are nixing pricey trips to Turkey — preferring to rock retro rugs instead. Reverting back to the wiggy ways of their forefathers, 30-somethings with receding hairlines are resurrecting the once-démodé toupee — in a comeback of John Travolta-like proportions. Advertisement Millennial men with hair loss are reviving the toupee as a cost-conscious, realistic alternative to costly hair transplants and treatments. WavebreakmediaMicro – Surprisingly, the ladies are hot-to-trot for the faux locks. 'Let's normalize men wearing toupees,' urged Madi Marotta, a Tennessee-based content creator, in a clip where she likened the look to hair extensions on women — a widely accepted style. Advertisement Marotta's curly call-to-action syncs up with the viral anti-baldness boom that's trending among guys as young as age 20. 'By the age of 35, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of noticeable hair loss, and by the age of 50, approximately 85% of men will have significantly thinning hair,' per the American Hair Loss Association. 'Around 25% of men with male pattern baldness begin losing hair before the age of 21.' Men experiencing hair loss have recently gone to extreme lengths to regain their youthful looks, such as Botox, surgeries and collagen injections to the scalp. New Africa – To combat the hairlessness headache, gent across all age demographics have explored a slew of swanky, new regrowth innovations — everything from $5,000 transplants in Istanbul to $16,000 robotic restoration treatments in NYC. Advertisement But more budget-conscious blokes prefer covering up their shedding tops to undergoing invasive surgeries and procedures. Phil Ring, a Big Apple hair replacement pro, shared TikTok footage of himself adhering a tiny toupee to the front of his molting mane, captioning the post, 'I'm not ready to commit to a full [restoration] system yet, so I'm just alerting my healing with a small addition.' Tyler Stanton, a Nashville influencer, granted over 2.1 million TikTok viewers a step-by-step look at his toupee installation process. Advertisement 'Here it's is ladies — drink it in,' he teased, showing off his bare crown before the wig was semi-permanently affixed to his scalp. 'Honestly, my friends didn't even know I had fake hair.' Emily Cheney, a San Diego-based hairstylist known as the 'Toupee Queen' on social media, previously told People her customized hairpieces can cost a guy around $3,800. And her wavy add-ons seem to serve as a turn-on to gals who don't mind the pseudo strands. 'He's so handsome,' raved a commenter beneath Cheney's vid of a toupee application, which garnered over 62 million views. 'I hope men know girls don't look down on this at all,' cheered another. 'This is true masculinity,' another admirer wrote. 'This is so much more attractive than being angry about balding.' Advertisement 'I sincerely wish more straight men did this,' a female fan fawned, emphasizing her fondness with the heart-eyes emoji. 'I would not care at ALL if a man had a toupee.' 'Not when it gives so much confidence.'

GOODBYE, BALDILOCKS? Growing trend has more men chasing hair-loss solutions
The bald truth is that hair loss affects nearly all men by the time they hit age 50. According to the American Hair Loss Association, 85% of American men experience some semblance of a chrome dome by 50, while two-thirds have noticeable shedding by age 35 and 25% notice some hair loss before turning 21. However, there's a growing trend among the balding types to seek out both invasive and non-invasive cosmetic hair restoration treatments. 'I'm pretty confident, but having longer, fuller hair adds an extra boost,' Steve Kinyon, a 34-year-old married dad of two, recently told the New York Post in an exclusive interview, while explaining his decision to board a plane and travel to Turkey for a $5,000 hair transplant. Those looking to shed the 'Baldilocks' appearance can lean in on some top hacks used by men trying to get their hair back. DERMA STAMPING Microneedling with a derma stamp is a DIY tool that features a stationary cartridge with a bed of tiny needles. When applied to balding spots, they create superficial punctures in the scalp. According to the Cleveland Clinic, in response to the pokes, the body increases blood flow to the triggered areas, stimulating collagen production to promote hair growth. Researchers from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine found that a combination of microneedling and minoxidil 'showed a significant increase in hair count' across 472 participants in a March 2024 study. PRP 'For PRP, they extract your blood, spin it (in a centrifuge) to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and reinject it into your scalp to facilitate growth and ensure your follicles are strong and active,' 32-year-old New York consultant Turner Allen told the Post. Michael Pollak and Steve Klebanow are the co-founders of Great Many, which launched in June 2024. They said PRP has risen as their studio's 'hero' anti-baldness technique. 'It's like an all-natural fertilizer for your scalp,' Pollak told the Post. RIGHT ON CUEBALL: New study points to possible cure for baldness SMOOTH OPERATOR: Maple Leafs' Max Domi pokes fun at bald opponent after fight TURKEY TRANSPLANT Kinyon travelled to Istanbul for 4,000 grafts of hair implants. 'Some of my friends had previously gone and had great experiences,' the Utah software salesman said. 'And it was super affordable.' Specialists garner healthy follicles from a donor area — often located in the back of the head — and embed them into balding areas. Patients' scalps are numbed prior to the op, which can take up to 12 hours depending on how much hair needs to be transplanted. ROBOTIC IDEA Some baldies in New York are accessing non-human hands for help. ARTAS iX is a robot used by board-certified plastic surgeon Michael Wolfeld. The AI-enabled machine's job is to identify the best grafts for Follicular Unit Extraction transplants. Strands are then harvested by the thousands and deposited where they're most needed. 'Patients chose the robotic system because they want great quality grafts and great outcomes,' the hair restoration specialist told the Post of the minimally invasive, virtually painless procedure that can take up to 10 hours.
