Jeff Bezos new look: Jeff Bezos shocks the internet with surprise hair comeback after a decade of baldness

Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon, is turning heads once again, this time not with a business deal, but with his hair, as per a report.

Jeff Bezos Surprises with Unexpected Hair Growth After Years of Baldness

After more than a decade of embracing a clean-shaven look, new photos of the 61-year-old at ‘billionaire summer camp’ in Sun Valley, Idaho, have sparked a flurry of online chatter, as per social media X posts.

The photos show white-grey hair sprouting thickly along the sides of his head, a dramatic contrast to the smooth, bald appearance that has been his style for years, according to the Daily Mail report.

Once familiar with his dark-haired, fresh-faced appearance in the early days of Amazon, Bezos has for a long time embraced baldness, a look many identified with his billionaire image, as per the report. The last time he was spotted seeing any significant hair was supposedly back in 2013, but ever since, his bald-headed look has been as iconic as the tech empire he created, according to The Daily Mail report.

Understanding the Science Behind Hair Loss

Spencer Stevenson, the baldness activist and author of ‘The Hair Raising Truth,’ explained to Daily Mail that Bezos’ visible hair is merely natural growth from what’s referred to as the “donor area”, the area at the back and sides of the scalp that tends to hold on to hair even in extreme cases of male balding patterns, according to the report. The author said that Bezos’ lack of hair is a “textbook example of advanced male pattern baldness,” and added, “Most likely a Norwood 7, which is the most severe classification on the hair loss scale,” as quoted by The Daily Mail.

Stevenson pointed out 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,” as quoted in the report. But said that “some remnants of grey hair, which is common given his age,” and emphasised that “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,” as quoted by the Daily Mail report.
