She kind of held my hand. Here\u2019s some big, tough guy who thinks he\u2019s indestructible. \u2026 None of us are perfect. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re all flawed. If you can be vulnerable, there\u2019s beauty in that. \u2026 This is the new chapter: my hair transplant, me being an advocate for sunscreen because I was an idiot and didn\u2019t put on sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve had to go through some pretty tough phone calls and pretty tough procedures with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn is a &#8220;strong advocate&#8221; for hair transplants and embraces various other ways to look after his locks.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I feel great and again, not perfect, but I\u2019m taking steps at a time. My first transplant was a minimal procedure. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I had a huge spot in the back, and they covered it up, but I didn\u2019t exhaust my donor sites. Now I\u2019m talking inside baseball, but this is all knowledge I got by talking to a professional. Imagine what can happen! <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That\u2019s why I\u2019m such a strong advocate. I see [a doctor] every six weeks. I get PRP treatment. I do red-light therapy, vitamins, finasteride topical, exosome topical \u2014 I\u2019m all in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Barbie star revealed last year he had been diagnosed with skin cancer twice and he&#8217;s admitted the health scares made him realise he wasn&#8217;t &#8220;bulletproof&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I thought I was young and bulletproof. That\u2019s not true. And man, you hear from your friends or guardians as a young person, &#8216;Put on sunscreen!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to affect you \u2014 it\u2019s real and it can affect you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn recently discovered he needs glasses.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I got these nice vintage opera glasses. \u2026 I love to read, and I started reading pages of books three times over again. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I was like, I gotta get help, and when I did, I discovered there wasn\u2019t just one problem.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I realised that I\u2019m not as young as I used to be, and I had an entirely new disease I knew nothing about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/john-cena-really-struggled-hair-loss-1445833.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 June 2026 John Cena &#8220;really struggled&#8221; with losing his hair.
