The Truth to Rumors Justin Bieber Is Balding After Fans Call Out His ‘Insane’ Hair Transformation
After writing a scathing Instagram caption about his wife, Justin Bieber is receiving another kind of hate, for something he might not control. Netizens are discussing his hair transformation, and it’s bringing a broader conversation about body image and male beauty standards.
The Internet went up in flames when one person posted on X, “justin bieber balding at 31 years is insane😭” alongside two different photos of the singer. Many fans seemed to be appalled at the change with one fan writing, “he took his wife’s surname too srsly” referring to her maiden name Baldwin.
Another fan defended the singer writing, “The man is stressed.. leave him alone.” Lots of people in the quote tweets also recognized that younger people might regret what they say about balding men in the future. “gen Z genuinely does not seem to grasp the concept of aging. the idea of being 30 is unimaginable to them. good luck lol,” one person wrote.
Is Justin Bieber balding?
Justin Bieber’s appearance has had a lot of changes over the years, and he’s recently been sporting a buzzcut or wearing a beanie. Nonetheless, it’s really common for men in their early 30s and late 20s to be balding. According to the American Hair Loss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of noticeable hair loss, and by the age of fifty, approximately 85% of men will have significantly thinning hair.
Justin Bieber’s hair used to be everything in the cultural zeitgeist. When he rose to fame, the Bieber haircut was the trend where men would put their swooping hair over their eyes. “It’s a calculated move” to cut his hair, Randy Sosin, a former executive at MTV and Interscope Records, told WSJ in 2011 when the singer was 16. “His hair is not that different, he’s not changing it that much, but he’s making it more of an event. Everything he does is something.”
In fact, Justin just debuted his buzzcut earlier this year in March. His other iconic hair eras include a pompadour, sleek combovers, cornrows, and locs. So it wouldn’t be surprising that he would be constantly evolving his hair. However, men still struggle with body image issues when it comes to their hair. “When someone looks in the mirror,” psychologist Sue McHale told the Guardian, “often the person they see is someone they no longer recognise. It can leave your self-image fractured, dramatically changed.”
