Most people might never have noticed his problem, but paying a little more attention to some pictures lets us see that Travolta’s hair keeps changing without explanation. Either he has some kind of supernatural hair that keeps growing and falling too quickly or he his cheating.

Like most Mediterranean men, John Travolta had a beautiful mane of hair in his youth – but not in “Pulp Fiction”, where is hair was already fake -, but he started experiencing hair thinning and baldness relatively early in his life. And, like most men, he did whatever he could to hide it, whether it was for vanity or because of a professional request. Let’s take a look at some of his looks throughout the years.

1. Memorable hairdo

Here is one of the most famous hairdos of all time, the one that John Travolta whore on the movie “Grease”, at a time when he had a lot of hair.

2. Long hair days

Here is the actor as Vincent Vega in Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction”. Although he was only 36 years old, he had to use extensions to get that long and thick hair.

3. Hairpiece

From a certain moment on, we started noticing that John Travolta was starting to have hair problems. Here he is probably wearing a hair piece, at an Oscar ceremony in the last decade.

4. Hair in a can

Let’s spray it on, maybe he said before leaving the house like this. This is the hair spray stage, when we can clearly see the bald spot where he sprayed some fake hair to hide his bald patch.

5. Embracing his baldness

And, finally, here he his, without any fake hair. Just going along with his baldness. John Travolta is, clearly, getting tired of the constant struggle with his baldness.

Did you notice that Lady Gaga has been really quiet in the past few weeks? Maybe not, but we’re telling you so. Some of the latest gossip is saying that our poker faced lady is having trouble with her blonde locks and is going all in against hair loss.

Well, nobody’s safe, after all. The latest appearance of Lady Gaga was noticed at a Hollywood club, in late April. The singer showed up with a different hair cut: a platinum short bob. Rumors say that she had to cut her hair so short to strengthen it.

But, did you realise the word “platinum”? That’s right. It’s no wonder that the woman is losing her hair. Her head has more layers of paint than a pair of painter trousers.

This just confirms what the singer said two years ago, at a seminar. At the time, Lady Gaga revealed that she would, probably, have to get a “chemical haircut” because her hair was falling out.

Contributing to his success as a top leading man is his luscious full hair and also his eyes that some people say they sparkle like the Aegean Sea. However, there are rumours circulating that he is very desperate and willing to do anything just to cover up or treat his hair loss because he is afraid it could trigger the end of his career.

In a print edition issue of Star Magazine, a source stated that Bradley Cooper comes from a line of bald guys and for years, he has used Propecia. The source also said that Bradley hired and paid a personal stylist to keep his receding hairline a secret because he is paranoid about losing his hair and his top leading man status.

Now let’s compare his hair at the “Limitless” set early in 2011 (left) to his hair later in 2011 (right).

As you can see, his hair is clearly less fuller compared to his hair early in 2011. So, is Bradley Cooper losing his hair? To answer the question, I will leave you with a picture of him in the movie “Wedding Crashers” in 2005.

Now, let’s look at his frontal hairline later in his career.

As you can see, there is a noticeable hairline recession. However, rumors suddenly circulated around the internet that he is wearing some kind of wig and others say he have a hair transplant when Cage appeared in the premiere of his 2011 film Drive Angry 3D with a fuller and thicker hair. What triggered these speculations is when he appeared at the Toronto Film Festival two years before this event with greying and thinning hair. It is a complete contrast to his more plentiful hair at the Drive Angry 3D premiere.

The left photo above is the fuller hair of Cage at the Drive Angry Premiere that has suspicious shades near his hairline, while the right image was taken at the Toronto Film Festival.

Now I know why the rumour circulated in the internet that fast, because the photos above clearly show a substantial difference.

Did Nicolas Cage have a hair transplant? Although the photos were clear in showing that his hair is receding, but still, they are not clear or strong enough to prove that he have a hair transplant.

But one thing is for sure, he is also losing his hair at the crown. See the picture below together with his former wife Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley:

Later in his career, some fans noticed that Enrique was always wearing a cap. He said that it makes him more mysterious. Some of his fans said, that he becomes emotional sometimes when performing on stage, that the hat will help cover his face from crying. One fan also said that Enrique grew up seeing his grandmother wearing a hat, so he also wears a cap to keep the tradition alive and to look sporty.

But, some people suggest that he is going bald! They say that the cap is used to conceal his developing hair loss because he is not only seen using it while performing, but he is always seen wearing it in public places.

Before we jump into conclusions, let’s investigate his pictures earlier in his career.

As you can see, it is evident that his hairline was already receding and his bangs are kept long just to cover his hairline. Some also speculated that he is using some kind of hair piece and concealer while others say that he underwent hair transplant surgery because, later in his career, he is seen with luscious hair.

So, is it genetically possible that he is losing his hair? The answer is yes, it is genetically possible because his father, Julio, lost his hair early in his life and hair loss can be inherited.

Are you still doubtful? Here is another picture of him.

In many ways it’s more challenging for them  because it could affect their popularity and thus the money they make.

Because of that, some celebrities will do anything to conceal their secrets. But who are these celebrities? Below we list the top 5 secretly bald celebrities.

1. Brendan Fraser

Brendan Fraser for the longest time has been a male sex symbol and his hair has been the attention for the majority of his movie roles, from the comedy film Encino Man to the Mummy film series.

Unlike the image he portrays in his movies, the left side photo above looks very different and some may not recognize him at all. The hair loss he is experiencing is very obvious. The actor is not just fighting with mummies; he is also fighting with hair loss!

Some say that he is using hair plugs to conceal his thinning hair because in some of his photos his hairline is changing.

2. Nicolas Cage

As we watched Nicolas Cage’s blossoming career in show business with a number of challenging movie roles (Face/Off, Con Air, etc.), we also witnessed his receding frontal hairline. But, just as we thought it’s the only hair loss the actor have, a photo of Cage came out with him in his yacht having lunch in the isle of Capri in Italy, revealing his bald spot at the back of his head.

Some say that his hair loss is caused by stress from financial problem or previous divorces with Patricia Arquette and Elvis Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley.

3. John Travolta

The career of John Travolta is definitely among the most successful in the history of Hollywood, with his movie Saturday Night Fever and famous role as Danny Suko in the movie Grease. But what we don’t know is that he has actually been battling with hair loss for years and trying to conceal it from the eyes of the public.

One holiday, when Travolta celebrated his 57^th birthday in Hawaii with his family, a woman secretly snapped a picture of him (above) revealing his receding frontal hairline.

4. Naomi Campbell

For a supermodel like Naomi Campbell, people are expecting to see her picture perfect. But the 42-year-old model revealed her extremely receding hairline when she was enjoying her holiday. She looks good in her bikini but all the attention was on her exposed scalp.

Hair experts say that her hair loss problem is caused by traction alopecia, a type of hair loss caused by prolonged hair pulling from hair extensions. All those years of wearing extensions for her modelling career have taken its toll on her.

5. Steven Seagal

Steven Seagal is one of the most famous action movie stars in the world, with his martial arts expertise that amazes the viewers. If only Seagal can fight hair loss with his famous martial art moves.

Some people noticed that his losing hair during the making of the movie “Hard to Kill” back in 1990. But as time goes by, his receding hairline started grow back. Some rumors suggest that he is using some kind of concealer to hide his hair loss.

Do you know any other celebrities who are hiding their hair loss?

I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark here. Australian?

My oh my; how great is humanity? Not only have we been blessed with opposable thumbs, the power of speech and the ability to walk upright on our hinds, but we can also express ourselves through the medium of body hair. I don’t see any dolphins doing that. No Sir; they’re too busy saving surfers and having sex for pleasure.

But whatever; more fool them.

That’s it; I’m cancelling that gym membership and buying me some hair clippers.

We’ve decided to salute some of these “Titans of the Weave” the only way we know how – a countdown list article. But do not think of this as some novelty catalog of misshapen hair growth; no, no, no. This, dear reader, is a rundown of excellence; the Top of the Pops for body hair, if you will.

Dismiss the pretenders and prepare to meet some of the most significant and inspirational human beings since Gandhi, Churchill, Jobs, King, Lincoln, Doggy Dogg, Columbus, Bonaparte and the guy who invented Diet Coke all rolled into one…

Oh yes; they’re that important. Enjoy.

6. Cinematic

Little did The Autobots know, Megatron had a secret party-boy mode.

What’s your favorite film? Ours is Star Wars; we like the way R2D2 and C3P0 are in love with each other and no one gives there forbidden, oily romance a second look. Acceptance is important, and we think we can all learn something from that. We express our love by sending photos of ourselves all dressed as Ewoks to Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker once a week.

They have yet to get back to us.

The recession had become Bruce Wayne’s newest enemy.

These people express their love of films by shaving images into their body hair. We think both forms of expression are valuable to society, and we humbly commend them for doing so.

5. Sculpted

Who wouldn’t be smiling with a beard that could double as a horseshoe?

What poise, what grace, what precision; these award-winning handlebars show what a lifetime of dedication to the craft of facial hair sculpting can get you.

Jim gets lonely sometimes; so, give him a ring when you can.

Now, the purists among you will be spitting out your cornflakes in disgust at the flagrant and sacrilegious use of beard product on these two examples. But don’t worry; we’ve got that covered later on.

4. Au Naturel

What do you mean you’re not wearing a black mohair onesie? Oh. My. God.

Tom Selleck is three things: sexy, Magnum PI and hairy (in that order). By the laws of repetition, you can also be those three things. In scientific terms, that means you should get hairy, get sexy and become Magnum PI.

Imagine a world with three billion Magnum PI’s…

That’s one sexy world.

There was never a rush to use the gym equipment after Dave had finished doing his circuits.

These men have followed this simple equation and become the man all men dream of becoming. Some may view them as freaks to be pointed at and ostracized from society, but not here; here, they are lauded as the “Master of the Follicles” that they have become.

3. The Entertainer

It’s all fun and games until he has to explain those tan lines to his Mother.

Some people are just born entertainers. They pass through life always one quip away from brightening up everyone’s day. Some resourceful entertainers have taken this art one step further and utilized their own body hair in their quest for laughs. Some say it’s a gift; some say it’s a curse; we think it’s hilarious.

Frank can be so two-faced sometimes.

We must salute these innovators of mirth and thank them for all the smiles they’ve given us over the years. So, next time you see a man with a face tattooed on the back of his head, his ponytail mimicking a beard, give a high five and a kiss on the scalp – he deserves it.

2. The Lothario

Do I love you? Look into my hearts.

Ah the lovers. Je t’aime. Voulez vous coucher avec moi? Non? Is it because I’ve shaved a heart into my chest hair? Yes, yes, it is. Mon Dieu!

Single handedly bringing sexy back.

When attempting to attract the attentions of a delicate young flower, surely nothing says “I love you” like a love heart shaved into your back hair. I imagine this young buck was swatting the nymphets away like flies round a turd. Lucky, lucky man.

1. The Masters

Elmar Weisser: artist, champion, and probably single.

Every pyramid has a peak and every kingdom has a crown. The same is true in the world of body hair. These two gentlemen have reached the top of their craft; they have flown to the heavens and felt the soft caress of God’s breath on their outstretched palms. We give you the champions of body hair.

Bajansinh Juwansinh Gurjar: hero, fashionista, expert ‘tach twirler.

These two gentlemen have shown us all the way when it comes to body hair. Man once looked to the heavens and wondered what the future of our race could accomplish, and these two have answered his question. Revel in their glory and hope that some of their majesty will rub off onto you.

Source

So, there we have it; six fine examples of incredible body hair. I’m sure we can all learn much from the lessons they teach. Unfortunately, not all of us can create such a stir with our well-groomed man fur, but perhaps the less said about this, the better.

I think we’ve found the cause of your partial deafness… as well as your years of isolated loneliness.

So we leave you with this advice; go forth and grow. Just be sure you have thought through your attempt before ending up with a follicle disaster.

Happy grooming.
