Chris Martin Hair Transplant: The Hair Journey of Coldplay’s Lead Singer

Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, has always attracted attention – not only for his amazing talents as a musician and a singer, but also for how he has changed throughout time. Subtle changes to his hairline have led many of his followers to speculate that he may have had a hair replacement.

Because Chris has never publicly said anything about receiving any surgical or non-surgical hair restoration treatment, photographs show a surprisingly thicker and more defined hairline that may be a good indication he received professional assistance to restore his hair.

Why Did Chris Martin Need a Hair Transplant?

Early pictures of Chris Martin do show him in the early stages of male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, in the form of temple recession and thinning in the frontal zone.

It is caused by genetic sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (or DHT), the hormone that miniaturizes follicles over time. When a follicle is not treated, the follicle can continue to shrink until it will not produce visible hair anymore.

In Chris Martin’s case, this would not be an issue for many years due to the thickness and waviness of his natural hair. He was not noticeably thinning at his temples until he shaved his head in the early 2000s – an early sign of hair loss progression.

Chris Martin’s Hair Transformation

Coldplay’s singer has experienced numerous hair transformations throughout his life. In the beginning, he wore long messier strands that created the relaxed, slacker rockstar vibe. Then, in the years leading up to the mid-2000s, his hair shortened. This was also the time when the receding hairline was most apparent.

Since Chris had a smart, full head of hair, he effectively covered up the receding line as he approached his late twenties. But, as with the passage of time, more even hairline started to make itself felt once again, suggesting to some the possibility that he may have gotten some sort of celebrity hair transplant done.

First Hair Plantation – Around 2008

From the photos taken around 2008, Chris Martin certainly had better frontotemporal corners. If he did in fact have hair restoration surgery at that time, then likely it was a FUT hair transplant. This procedure can be classified as a standard technique: a strip of hair-bearing scalp is excised from the donor area and then grafts are transplanted into the thinning areas.

Based on the photographs, it looks like this could have also been a result of 1,000 to 1,400 grafts to re-establish the frontal hairline. Coldplay vocalist would also most likely be complimenting that with Finasteride or Minoxidil to slow his DHT-related hair loss. His better hair density and the relatively straight hairline appears to represent the intervention of a professional.

Second Hair Transplant – Around 2021

More than ten years later, in or around 2021, it appeared that Chris Martin’s hairline had improved with added hair and refinement. This would further suggest that a second hair surgery did occur.

This second surgery was likely performed with the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, which is considered the gold standard in modern hair restoration. The FUE hair transplant would leave no linear scar, allowing for a quicker recovery and a much more natural appearance.

It is possible that a second hair procedure was performed to reinforce and contour his hairline with 1,000 to 1,200 grafts, which would add a significant addition to the hair mass and maintain natural hairline aesthetics.

Supporting hair loss treatments during this time, possibly ongoing, could include PRP treatment or more advanced scalp care, all of which would further improve the density and texture of the hair.

Chris Martin’s Hair Transplant Cost

Though Coldplay lead singer has never ever talked about hair restoration surgery, knowing the price of such a procedure is somewhat difficult. But, a high-end hair transplant in the UK could undoubtedly be over £15,000, it all depends on the skill of the surgeon, how many multi-grafts are required and any additional services.

If it was done in Turkey, he could have received it for a lot lower amount and it would still be the same or better quality.
