Did you know that Brendan Fraser’s fascination with ancient civilizations runs in the family? His maternal grandfather, Dr. Harold Stine, was a celebrated archaeologist specializing on ancient Middle Eastern cultures. This random family connection played a key role in shaping Fraser’s understanding and passion for the history, artifacts, and legends that brought The Mummy films to life.
Similarly, Brendan seems to have inherited something else from his grandfathers and his father too; the male pattern hair loss.
Hair loss is common and it is hard to believe that Brendan Fraser caliber celebrities suffer from it just like the rest of us. Perhaps the right question to ask is if Fraser sought help about his hair loss, since he can afford it with a net worth way above $20M?
Did he get a hair transplant for example? If so, what technique was used? As always, let’s dig into the details to determine if he joined Oscar nominee movie stars with hair transplants.
Brendan Fraser’s Hair Loss
Brendan Fraser’s hair was a staple part of his appearance during his rise to fame in the 1990s. No one at the time could have guessed that the long-haired Fraser would one day suffer from severe hair loss. The man with endless abundance of hair was to prove that he is a mortal. Like many, he began experiencing hair thinning and loss as he aged. However, there were other worldly factors that made it all worse for his hair; loss of parents, divorce and stress…
During the 90s, Brendan Fraser was the official charmer. His long and textured hair was an inseparable part of his roles in movies like Encino Man, Airheads and George of the Jungle.
What do you know… He was the rock star and had the hair of a rock star once upon a time. Hard to believe that’s his youth, some people do change a lot!
Although he isn’t naturally a blonde, we often saw Fraser’s hair sun-kissed in many roles, emphasizing youthful and adventurous characters.
Poor Fraser had two major life depressions throughout his life and they both were heavily reflected on his hair; his 2008 divorce and loss of both his parents in 2016.
He was photographed with the worse hair he was ever seen in both years. You could see the rough times straight through the state of his hair (or the lack of it).
Did Brendan Fraser Get a Hair Transplant?
Some say that it is a curious case as Fraser is often pictured with terribly sparse hair in his casual life but appears quite put together at events.
Let’s put all the hints together and see what they whispers into our ears.
Brendan Fraser Before and After Hair Transplant
Now, comparing photos of Fraser from his 90s heyday, the 2010s, and today is amusing actually. The man has changed at least as much as Bryan Johnson has, but in reverse order. The paparazzi archives show how strong and dense Fraser’s hair was in his earlier years.
Starting from the year of his divorce (2008 to be exact), Fraser shows an alarming thinning, so much so that on some pictures he appears as if he has more head space than hair.
But what do we know… Then on the day of his 2023 Oscar nomination and ever since that glorious day, his hair magically appears to have made a comeback. A potential indicator of a successful hair transplant?
Which Hair Transplant Technique Is Used?
In the case of a hair transplant one thing is for sure: It’s a FUE.
Only a minimally invasive technique can pull off this look with no scarring, and no other sign about a hair transplant. Having said that, let’s not forget that he may have had a FUE hair transplant AND uses hair fibers when in public, nothing wrong with that.
How Many Grafts Were Transplanted?
While the exact number is a hard one to crack, we could roughly estimate that Fraser might have got around 2500 grafts. Is this much at all? Nope.
As much as the number of grafts needed depends on the extent of hair loss and the desired outcome, it also depends on donor area availability. We don’t believe he had much to donate from the back to the front.
Where Did He Get His Hair Transplant?
Brendan Fraser has not publicly disclosed a hair transplant or anything related to a hair transplant and therefore, the clinic or location where he underwent the procedure is mystery. However, Hollywood often chooses Hollywood and history doesn’t always repeat but Hollywood does.
From The Whale’s set to the Oscars, he may not have had the time to fly to Turkey and back, so we’ll accept his excuse.
Does Brendan Fraser Wear a Hair Piece?
Another assumption about Brendan Fraser’s hair comeback is of course, the good old hairpiece theory.
While a well-made and personalized hair piece can offer an instant solution for hair loss, it stands nowhere near a hair transplant. A bigger magnifier stalking Fraser’s recent look leans towards a hair transplant to explain about his hairline and density improvements. The seamless blending of his hair supports the stalker-magnifier.
