Anyone know any famous people that wear? Just out of curiosity. I like to know famous people that wear just so I can look at them and see how good or bad they are sometimes. Sometimes it's hard to tell and maybe we can't always spot them which is good. I know that Enrique Iglesias wears, Noah thinks Ben Affleck, jon Travolta. I watch alot of YouTube videos and think someone is wearing one but can't always tell even though I have become good at spotting them. Not a pro. Just wondering if anybody wants to drop some names so we can get good look. I have watched a couple fitness channels and I think this guy Jeff Nippard wears one. I watch his vids for some advice once in awhile not my fave tho. But his hair looks so thick and his hairline is so low. Also this other guy that only saw a few of his videos the other night.. not very famous but his channel is called " how to beast". Now he def wears. I think.... Well anyway. Yeah

I definitely think John Travolta is wearing one. Of course, there's also Ted Danson. Ted
is the only guy who admits to wearing a wig.


Ben Affleck, he probably just had a transplant. He's in his forties, I doubt he's a Norwood four
or higher in real life.

Affleck definitely doesn't wear. You can see the natural thinning at his crown and temple recession in recent pictures.

Famous wig wearers:
- Will Shatner
- John Travolta
- Sean Connery
- Ted Danson
- Enrique Iglesias

Most other guys going bald as celebrities get on heavy meds (eg. Ashton Kucher on dutasteride) and/or get transplants +/- concealers.

An HD or cinematic camera is very unforgiving of a hairpiece in practice.

Watch Game of Thrones on a 100" projector or so. You'll see every wig they all wear plain as day. And that's a pretty high budget show.

These photos suggest to me that Affleck is wearing, but it is just the front few inches - his crown area is not covered. The fact that he has allowed the thinning photo to be published suggests that maybe he is more relaxed about it than he used to be. Until recently he was never photographed without a full dense hairline in place.

You can't really compare theatrical wigs on a fantasy drama like Game of Thrones with streetwear hair systems. The theatrical make-up people are aiming for a hyper-real look, not a natural one. They don't care if it looks unrealistic.

Most of the great male movie stars of the past wore hairpieces, including John Wayne, Bing Crosby, James Stewart, Gene Kelly, but this has only become known through tell-all biographies published after their careers were over - their hair issues were successfully concealed from the public during their careers. And that is really the point - if it's done properly you can't tell. I'm certain many current stars are wearing systems which the public knows nothing about - it's hard for someone who is a successful actor to disappear from view for the length of time needed to have a transplant and let it grow in - a hair system is a far more reliable option. Unless they let themselves go bald and then suddenly appeared with a full head of hair (e.g. Jeremy Piven; Enrique Iglesias) or they allowed themselves to be photographed without the system (e.g. Brendan Fraser) there is no way to tell for sure.

This guy, who is a popular YouTuber, wears a system, and has even done a video about replacing his hair, although he didn't use the word system or hairpiece. His unit is not perfect, but it's a pretty good guide to what the average guy can expect to achieve.

@Noah

That's a harsh balding pic of Affleck. It would depend on the chronology of when that picture you showed was from where he has the solid perfect hairline.

He's been naturally balding for a few years now. Here he was a while ago:

That was all his perfectly natural hair.

When he was younger he had a ridiculously wiggish looking head of natural hair (ultra high density and thick follicles):

So the question is, when were each of the two pics you provided from? If they are both within a year of each other, then yes he was wearing a piece in the perfect one. If they were spaced by 5-10 years this may just be his natural progression.

Here is the full photo, with Jason Momoa, so it seems they were taken around Justice League which came out last year. And here is another photo with Momoa where Ben seems to have his frontal piece on. It doesn't seem to be the case that he is just wearing for the camera, but equally he has allowed the thinning picture to be published. Travolta does the same - he mostly wears his piece off camera and on, but occasionally he allows himself to be photographed without it.

You are assuming that those close-cropped photos are all natural, but it is possible that Ben was wearing a small frontal lace piece there too. It's perfectly possible to get a fine lace piece with a short cut like that, especially if you have a personal hairdresser, as Affleck probably does.

Ha! Very neat. I didn't know he was wearing in Justic League but that's pretty convincing. So that's what they'll probably start doing for Henry Cavill since his hair is going to the dogs too.

I think him wearing has been relatively new, since he's only just gotten to the point of needing it from these pics.

Yes Noah I've seen his channel and I've seen the one where he gets hair and never says that it' a system. If you read the comments half think thinks it' a transplant lol I think his is pretty good tho and completely changed his over all look. He was so happy too.

Ben Affleck is pretty well known for wearing.

Then again, I'm sure the amount of Hollywood actors wearing a piece is staggering
