John Cena Shares Regret Over Delaying Hair Transplant After Fan Taunts

He regrets letting stigma around male baldness keep him from surgery for a decade.

Overview

  • Cena says he now regrets waiting a decade to have the transplant because of shame around male hair loss.
  • He describes a “dormant phase” after surgery in which new follicles and remaining hair temporarily fell asleep, leaving him more exposed during his farewell tour.
  • To preserve his restored hairline, he follows a daily regimen of red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo and conditioner.
  • Cena credits his fresh look with expanding acting opportunities as he balances the WWE farewell tour ahead of a planned end-of-2025 retirement.
  • He hopes his openness will help other men overcome stigma and feel empowered to explore cosmetic treatments sooner.
