EXCLUSIVE Jeff Bezos shows off dramatic new hair growth after being entirely bald for more than 10 YEARS
Jeff Bezos is one of the most recognizable figures in the world - but the Amazon founder once had a very different - and hairier - look. In photos of the tech titan from the 'billionaire summer camp' in Sun Valley, Idaho, this week, he appears to have thick white-grey hair around the sides of his scalp as opposed to the bald look he usually sports. The 64-year-old has opted for an entirely hair-free look for quite a while now - given the last time he was seen with locks being around 2013. In earlier pictures from his early days in the limelight - as seen in archival photos and interviews - Bezos had healthy, dark brown hair. But, in more recent times, the billionaire - who recently wed Lauren Sanchez - has sported nothing up top. However, following their multi-day wedding in Venice, Italy, Bezos appeared to be letting his hair down - literally - with more growth spotted around the sides of his head this week. It sparked speculation that the entrepreneur he is trying to grow his hair back but Spencer Stevenson, author of The Hair Raising Truth, told that Bezos' lack of hair is a 'textbook example' of advanced male pattern baldness. 'Most likely a Norwood 7, which is the most severe classification on the hair loss scale,' the hair loss advocate explained. Stevenson explained that Bezos has 'long embraced his baldness,' seen opting for a very 'closely shaved, clean look that suits his head shape and complements his public image.' However, recently the billionaire has been spotted growing out the 'donor area' of his head, which is the area around the sides and the back. '[This has] revealed some remnants of grey hair, which is common given his age,' Stevenson added. Stevenson explained donor region tends to retain hair even in severe cases of hair loss as it is genetically more resistant to DHT — the hormone largely responsible for male pattern baldness. 'It is also the zone from which hair is harvested for transplant surgery,' he added. However, the expert added that in Jeff's case, the extent of loss across the top of the scalp is 'simply too significant for any viable redistribution.' 'The demand far outweighs the supply, meaning he is not a candidate for hair transplantation by any realistic standard,' he confirmed. Stevenson added he has seen no evidence to suggest the tech mogul has undergone a hair transplant or is using any form of medical hair loss treatment. In earlier pictures from his early days in the limelight - as seen in archival photos and interviews - Bezos had healthy, dark brown hair 'What we're seeing is simply the natural growth of hair in the remaining donor zone, now more visible due to its slightly longer length,' he observed. 'Even at the sides, you can see how sparse the hair has become — further highlighting the aggressiveness of his pattern.' Stevenson added that as one of the richest men in the world, if hair cloning were commercially available - something that remains in the experimental phase and would likely be prohibitively expensive - he would almost certainly be among the first to access it. 'Hair cloning is the only theoretical solution for individuals with this level of loss, as it would provide an unlimited donor supply. But at present, we are limited by nature's finite resources,' he said. Bezos' appearance has long been a topic of intrigue, with the billionaire dedicating time to curating a bulked-up frame and sporting upgrades to his wardrobe to bring in a more tailored style in the past few years. It's a big difference from his younger self as the fresh-faced entrepreneur who started his tech empire from his Seattle garage in 1994. Bezos' transformation has long been in the works, most noticeably in 2017 when his 'swole' arms at the Allen & Co. conference caused an internet frenzy. In the December issue of Vogue, that same year, Lauren revealed she and Jeff work out together, but couldn't do the same exercises, with his fiancée noting: 'He's on a whole different level than I am. He is a monster in the gym.' He also appears to be dedicated to getting his beauty sleep, with the couple sharing in the same interview, they go to bed at 9.30pm after watching some television. The Amazon founder observes grueling workouts and strict dieting, but he's not always been such a health nut. In fact, he admitted to never reading a nutrition label until he was approaching middle-age. His transformation was believed to have been sparked by Amazon's 2017 acquisition of Whole Foods - the health-conscious grocer - for nearly $14 billion, but he had reportedly started hitting the gym as early as 2013. To help him get into shape, Jeff enlisted the services of A-list personal trainer Wes Okerson, who has worked wit the likes of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Gerard Butler and Isla Fisher. He has embraced low-impact weight and resistance training as well as a nutritious diet, complete with protein and healthy fats.

Dr. JJ Releases New Report Exploring Causes and Treatments for Male Pattern Baldness
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, June 27, 2025 / / -- Dr. Jean-Jacques (JJ) Dugoua, ND, has released a new in-depth report titled ' Causes and Treatments for Male Pattern Baldness.' The report is available for free on his Toronto naturopathic clinic 's website. The publication explores the underlying biological and lifestyle factors contributing to male pattern baldness and presents holistic strategies to help address it naturally and effectively. Male pattern baldness — technically known as androgenetic alopecia — is a condition affecting a large percentage of men, often beginning as early as their twenties or thirties. In his report, Dr. JJ explains that the condition is primarily caused by genetic sensitivity to androgens, especially dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent form of testosterone. This sensitivity causes hair follicles to shrink over time, leading to thinning hair and eventual baldness. 'It should be no surprise that men often take a huge hit to their self-esteem and confidence when they experience hair loss,' says Dr. JJ. 'There are many methods for treating male pattern baldness, and while each patient wants the same full head of hair, each patient also requires their own completely separate strategy.' In the report, Dr. JJ addresses some of the most common causes of male pattern baldness. In particular, the report highlights the connection between testosterone, DHT, and hair loss, noting that the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, which in turn impacts hair follicles. As well, according to the report, inadequate levels of iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamin D may worsen or accelerate hair loss. A nutrient-rich diet — combined with targeted supplementation — is one of the naturopathic strategies Dr. JJ recommends for improving scalp and follicle health. Chronic stress plays a major role in hormonal imbalance and inflammation, both of which can also contribute to premature hair loss. 'Supporting adrenal health through lifestyle changes, sleep hygiene, and mindfulness practices is essential in a naturopathic approach to hair restoration,' Dr. JJ writes. Poor sleep, smoking, and other environmental and lifestyle factors are also discussed as contributing factors. The report encourages a whole-body detoxification strategy and reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. From there, Dr. JJ discusses the potential benefits of plant-based treatments and topical therapies to improve scalp circulation and reduce inflammation. Rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all solution, Dr. JJ encourages men experiencing hair loss to undergo individualized assessment to determine the best course of action based on their hormonal, nutritional, and lifestyle profiles. Dr. Jean-Jacques Dugoua, or Dr. JJ as he's affectionately known, is a licensed naturopathic doctor in Toronto. Dr. JJ also holds a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, which gives him a unique perspective on both the medical and naturopathic world. As a result as his work in clinical pharmacology, Dr. JJ has the distinction of being one of very few naturopathic doctors who practice in a medical hospital in Canada, in his case at Toronto Western Hospital. He also has a private naturopathic practice in downtown Toronto, through the Liberty Clinic.
