The Traitors season 4 star posted on January 18 that he learned “the lesson of not going on a big show during the ‘shedding phase’ of a hair transplant.” During this phase, known as shock loss, transplanted hairs fall out as follicles reset for new growth.
Funches initially wrote, “Whoops,” acknowledging the timing mistake that led to direct messages calling attention to his changing appearance.
## The Comeback
Despite the temporary setback, Funches remains optimistic about the final result. He soundtracked a photo showing fuller hair to Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair,” captioning it “But the comeback is strong.”
He shared an overhead view of his current hair, writing “\[In case\] you thought I was hiding the back,” while noting “We’re at about 60% on the time frame.”
## Embracing Both Versions
Funches reflected positively on his pre-transplant appearance, posting a throwback photo with the caption “But found out bald me is beautiful. So who knows.”
## Celebrity Hair Transplant Trend
Funches joins a growing list of celebrities discussing their hair restoration experiences:
– Jimmy Presnell (Love Is Blind season 6) debuted his new look last summer
– John Cena revealed his November 2024 procedure in a PEOPLE cover story
Cena expressed regret about waiting, stating, “I hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago.”
The former WWE star added: “I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 \[men\] suffer from thinning or baldness.”
Cena described the procedure simply: “They don’t do anything except move your hair, one by one, from one area to another. It’s my hair and I’m not using this stuff \[on the side\] and I’d like to put it up \[on the top\].”
