John Travolta

Another man with a natural widows peak hairline, as seen here in his younger days.



Since returning to the limelight in the 90s Travolta has sported a variety of hairstyles as bizarre as his religious beliefs.



His hair system, or 'wig' as they are more commonly known, was famously exposed at a public appearance in 2007.



In the zoomed in view below, you can see the mesh where the hair is attached.



Dr. Rassman's Balding Blog has more information on Travolta's hairpiece.



A true WTF moment was captured at another public appearance, in which his hair appeared to have been sprayed on.




Since then he has been photographed with what appears to be his natural hair. In our opinion this is a vast improvement, and leads us to wonder why he bothered with the hassle of a hairpiece for so long.



And his shaved head look for a recent role proved a popular look with his fans, prompting him to claim "I might just go bald and bearded full-time from now on."

Jude Law

37 year old Mr. Law has for a long time had the distinguished receding look going on. He has a natural widows peak which can be seen as far back as 1995.



For the next 15 years he embraced the balding and made it a part of his look, often employing swept back side-parted hairstyles that accentuated the receding.



Dior were recently criticised for allegedly airbrushing his hair in a recent poster campaign, as seen below.



And here's how his hair should look.



We applaud him for flaunting hairloss in the most debonair fashion possible.

Matthew McConaughey

Often the subject of heated debate in the hairloss world, just what exactly did Matthew McConaughey do to his hair?

The infamous mugshot from 1999 clearly shows him receding and thinning at the front.



10 years later, he appears to have a lot more hair. What could have caused this reverse balding?



McConaughey himself attributed his hair regrowth to a product called Regenix on the David Letterman show a few years back.



Those on the hairloss forums are not convinced, with a hair transplant or even a hairpiece given as more likely explanations.

Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie's hair is an excellent example of a great cover up job by television make up artists.



Given the extent of his bald patch, I would have thought the only thing capable of covering it up would be a hairpiece, although some have claimed that that Toppik fibres could give this result.



Laurie has been balding for around 20 years now as these stills from "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" show.



To his credit, he is open about his baldness and has appeared in public numerous times au naturel.



Despite his baldness Laurie is seen as a sex-symbol and is consistently voted onto those sexiest male lists. So well done to him.



Let's hope the execs at Fox see sense soon and let Hugh use his real hair in House. They could even make his hairloss a part of the storyline.
