Has JUDE LAW had a hair transplant?

Jude Law hair transplant

Here’s an actor who’s pretty well known for having a receding hairline. In the many years he’s been on screen we’ve seen his locks steadily diminish – especially at the front. Pictures from a few years back show the Alfie and Sherlock Holmes actor with pretty advanced hair loss. Yet today, he can still look like he’s got a full head of hair. So how does he do it? Is it Hollywood trickery? Or has Jude Law had a hair transplant?

1999 – the early days

Jude Law before hair loss (1999)

Jude Law first came to widespread public attention starring in 1999’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, for which he was nominated for a number of awards including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

The film shows Law with a reasonable head of hair – with very slight recession at the temples.Jude Law hair before baldness

Born in 1972, the actor would only have been about 27 at the time of filming, so this is perfectly normal. Even with Hollywood hair and makeup, there’s no reason to suspect that Jude had lost a great deal of hair at this young age.

But the initial signs of hair loss are beginning to show.

At this point, the actor’s hair loss is around a Norwood 2.

2004 – sexiest man alive

Jude Law hair 2004 Over the next five years, Jude Law’s hairline steadily crept backwards.

But that didn’t stop People Magazine from naming him 2004’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Jude was – and is – still seen as a Hollywood heartthrob. This led to him being cast as notorious ladies’ man Alfie in the 2004 remake of the classic Michael Caine film.

But it was definitely clear at this point that he was losing his hair.

Even with the best hair and makeup teams in Hollywood, Jude’s receded hairline is very distinct. He still has decent overall coverage and strong density in the areas with hair, but the bald spots at the corners of the fringe are definitely bigger than they were in 1999.

Still, it didn’t stop him being named Sexiest Man Alive – just goes to show you can still be attractive with hair loss!

Another five years later – 2009

Five years on and the actor’s hair continued to creep backwards.

And it seems Jude noticed it himself – around this time he started to wear hats more frequently.

Here he is at a premiere for 2009’s Sherlock Holmes (left).

Beanie hat with a suit? Not the best look.

And here he is at a different premiere of the same film (below). This time, though, he’s left the hat at home.

Yes, his hairline has receded, but he still looks good!

And at 37 years old, it’s perfectly normal to have lost some hair.

But he’s an actor. And there’s a lot of pressure in Hollywood to look perfect.

But if he was worried about hair loss then, it was about to get a whole lot worse!

2011 – a bad hair year

What little hair Jude had at the front of his head was well on its way out by 2011.

Here he is pictured with wet hair on a holiday in Cannes:

Jude Law’s hair loss was at least a Norwood stage 3 by this point.

Not only are the temples heavily receded, the hair behind the forelock has mostly disappeared too. This ‘island’ of hair is quite a common hair loss pattern and it suggests he was well on his way to Norwood 4 by this point.

2012 – miracle hair loss cure?

Yet just a year later, Jude Law seemed to have (mostly) regained his hair.

Here he is at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, with what looks like a decent amount of density and coverage:

He still has the distinctive receded hairline, of course, but his hair appears to have gotten much thicker in only a year.

2013 – losing ground (again)

But then the next year, Jude’s hair was back at 2011 levels:

In fact, Jude is very nearly a Norwood 4 at this point. But it could just be the short hairstyle that makes his hair loss look so advanced.

Present day – has Jude Law had a hair transplant?

All this back and forth is hard to keep track of, I know. But here’s one last photo (from 2015) to further confuse things.

Once again, Jude’s hair appears to have miraculously returned!

So what is it? Vitamins? Meds? A hair transplant? Magic?

Probably none of the above (except maybe hair loss medications).

If he’d wanted to, Jude Law could easily have had a hair transplant.

For one, he’d have access to the top Hollywood cosmetic surgeons.

And as a famous actor he won’t be short of money to pay for the procedure.

What’s more, hair transplantation has become increasingly advanced in recent years. Minimally invasive techniques mean celebrities can get hair transplants done without anyone realising. As long as the change isn’t too dramatic, no one need ever know. For more information, check out this article which talks about celebrities getting ‘top up’ FUE hair transplants on the sly.

But I don’t think Jude Law has had a hair transplant.

If he had done, why wouldn’t he go the full way and completely cover his temples with hair?

I suppose it could be argued that this would be too noticeable a change, but so what? Hair transplant surgery is becoming increasingly common and he could have just admitted to it!

So what has he done to his hair?

The fact that Jude Law’s hairline has gone backwards and forwards numerous times over the years suggests he’s no stranger to hair loss concealer products such as Toppik, Kerafiber, and DermMatch.

These sorts of products are standard in Hollywood. Make up artists even use them on actors who have a full head of hair already to give the illusion of thicker hair under harsh light.

And they’re pretty good, too. Take a look at the example below. This was achieved through concealer alone.

Does Jude Law use hair loss concealer?

I’d guess this is the kind of product Jude Law uses to conceal his hair loss. He may even wear a hair piece, though that seems less likely. And, of course, he probably uses hair loss treatments to minimise any further hair loss.

But has he had a hair transplant? It seems unlikely. Though with today’s procedures, anything’s possible.

Jude Law hair transplant verdict: natural

10 thoughts on “Has JUDE LAW had a hair transplant?

  1. The person who wrote this article is a damn fool. It’s fairly obvious Jude is using a hair system. You have to be really dumb and not have done any research whatsoever to release the verdict that his hair is natural.

    1. Hair loss concealer my ass. This article is poppycock.

      1. That’s all bull shit. Non surgical and surgical only. Just surgery is tough. Younger they fill in bald area then you loos more. Like I say if you loose 60% of hair by 50. How you pay $100 tab wiry 40 bucks. The worst thing is 30 y o get transplants. Doc says you loose I can do more. You run out of hair in downer area and every transplant before 55/60 I see they end up with a wig on their head. Best way is like jud. Do few transplants hairline with v loop skin or Non surgical grafts behind it. Here is what Jude has on. It’s what I do. Not to sell. To educate balding guys. I hate snake oil salesmen. It’s insulting wit emotions of hair loss. I have had guys pull up in a Ferrari. Hand me the keys and say. You took my need for that car away. Keep it. I did not. Bet he offered. Did over phone heart reading for DR when clients had heart murmurs. Big money. 600k a month guy made. To put reference. Here are the facts for you.

        He has a skin unit with v looped hair. It’s a thin Saran Wrap like clear “skin”. The hair is put in like a V no knots the base that holds the hair is invisible and no knots like French lace. The skin is put down with a glue used in surgery. For 30 days it’s as your own hair. You touch it with your nail you can’t feel it it’s so thin. And can’t see it. The polymer is dulled when made so scalp color jumps threw it. Trust me I manufacture it. Make 5000 a month for bald men all over USA. Special salons only do this. You go in once a month for a cut and style. Takes 25 minutes. They charge 40 to 80 bucks. Can do recession like law or Bald spot or full hear of hair. Most natural thing Easy.

  2. Totally agree James. This whole article is made up to give false hope to the claim that useless mess and pills can make a difference. They don’t really. Obviously he has a hair system

  3. No, I have quite the same hair as Jude Law, we both obviously gonna be full bald in old age, I can grant you that when you have your hair shaved, the front part (the receding hairline consisting in a circle above the temples) grow more slowly and it make visible the “bald circle part”. When your hair is long, you can hide the “circle part” by brushing your hair over it, and they hide it quite well.
    Jude Law did absolutely nothing to his hair, it’s perfectly normal that when they are long it SEEMS he’s got more hair.

    1. Finally someone is actually pointing out the obvious. It’s just long hair brushed forward.

      1. Not selling just telling you facts

        He has a skin unit with v looped hair. It’s a thin Saran Wrap like clear “skin”. The hair is put in like a V no knots the base that holds the hair is invisible and no knots like French lace. The skin is put down with a glue used in surgery. For 30 days it’s as your own hair. You touch it with your nail you can’t feel it it’s so thin. And can’t see it. The polymer is dulled when made so scalp color jumps threw it. Trust me I manufacture it. Make 5000 a month for bald men all over USA. Special salons only do this. You go in once a month for a cut and style. Takes 25 minutes. They charge 40 to 80 bucks. Can do recession like law or Bald spot or full head of hair. Most natural thing Easy.

    2. I think he can pull off greatly both the shaved and receding look :), yeah I don’t see a hair system or transplant. It’s a sort of frontoparietal Norwood 4 with circular recession on the forelock. It sort of freezed, and is appears in good health when he grows hair long, which might suggest some cures, but Woody Allen freezed too in a sort of Nw4 V with pronounced crown loss (which is in the stage 6 instead)

      Considering how he was in 2011, but with wet or shaved hair, it seems thicker or holding on well.

  4. definitely a hair transplant. Would need to be incredibly naive to think otherwise. Absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. Everyone at it these days.

    1. Hi, have you seen him now? The temples covered in this article’s pic are deep as always, yeah sometimes more sometimes less, it seems, because he’s probably still curing and sorta responding well, but that’s speculation.

      Seems thicker and less island like than in some older pics, who knows but I never saw a trasplant, even conservative which doesn’t try to define the hairline or at least give a stronger receded Nw3 look with lower peak.
      But what you see there is a “tactical hairstyle” or sort of combover showing it doesn’t look bad, if done the right way. Notice how the only part of hairline visible is the usual forelock and its much thinner satellite hairs, that’s mixed with hair coming from the mid which layer over it and reinforce it making it feel a bit like a real hairline. also notice the forward concentrical projection of hair from sides as well, in a faux hawk fashion.
