John Cena Reveals The Real Reason He Got A Hair Transplant

With Cena’s retirement tour winding down, he recently did an interview with People and opened up on a variety of topics, including the role WWE played in him choosing to get a hair transplant.

In discussing the aging process and how it impacted his decision to retire as an in-ring competitor, Cena brought up the feedback from WWE fans regarding his bald spot.

“As I was trying to hide my hair loss, the audience was bringing it to light," Cena said. “I saw their signs that said ‘The bald John Cena.” They pushed me into going to see what my options were.”

Cena then detailed his new hair regimen and why he has no shame in admitting the changes he made.

“I now have a routine: red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner — and I also got a hair transplant last November,” Cena said. “I hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago. I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 [men] suffer from thinning or baldness."

He also noted that the decision “completely changed the course of my life” and that a different hairstyle allows him more range as an actor in his pursuit of different Hollywood roles.
