Bayern Munich forward and Three Lions skipper Harry Kane has been known to stun rivals and fans alike with his goal-scoring abilities.
However, despite his on-field heroics, it’s impossible to ignore the footballer’s receding hairline, especially since it was much worse a few years ago than it is now.
This has fuelled wide speculation about Harry Kane’s hair transplant, though the striker hasn’t said a word about it. But is there any truth to these rumours? Let’s find out.
Who Is Harry Kane?
Harry Kane is an English footballer who is widely considered one of the best strikers in the world. He’s currently the centre-forward for FC Bayern München and is also the captain of the England national football team.
Before joining the Reds, Kane was a striker for Tottenham Hotspur, where he scored 280 goals for the club, becoming its top goalscorer and breaking Jimmy Greaves’ 50-year record. As well, he holds the record for scoring the most goals for the national team — 69 in his 103 caps. At the time of writing, he’s the Bundesliga’s top scorer for the 2024-2025 season.
Has Harry Kane Had A Hair Transplant?
Kane hasn’t spoken about getting a hair transplant, and the photographs of his scalp don’t indicate that he has had this surgery either.
England’s skipper has always had a high hairline, but it has become uneven over time, likely due to genetic hair loss. Nevertheless, his hair loss isn’t too advanced, and it’s possible that he’s taking medication to prevent its further progression.

Harry Kane’s Hair Loss Over The Years
Let’s take a look at Harry Kane’s hair evolution.
Year 2012
As a teenager, Kane had a fairly straight, though high, hairline. He didn’t seem to be losing any hair around that time.

Year 2016
About 23 years old at the time, Kane’s hairline was receding and a widow’s peak had likely formed as a result.

Year 2017
Kane’s hairline was clearly M-shaped, a sign of androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness. He was on Stage 2 of the Norwood Scale then.

Year 2018
By 2018, Kane’s hair loss had progressed to roughly Stage 3. However, it changed the following year.

Year 2019
The striker’s hair loss was evident the year before, but things were quite different in 2019. The front of Kane’s scalp was fuller, his widow’s peak was less prominent, and the edges of his hairline were less sharp.

Although we don’t believe Kane had a hair transplant, it is possible that he had a non-surgical treatment for the loss of his hair, such as platelet-rich plasma injections (PRP) or laser treatment.
Medical therapy, such as minoxidil or finasteride, is another possibility. However, you have to keep taking those medications to see the results.
Year 2022
Several years later, Kane’s hairline still appeared receding but his central forelock remained dense.

Year 2024
Kane’s hairline continued to look quite uneven. However, his hair loss didn’t seem to be getting any worse, which could be the result of the medical therapy.
