Dwayne The Rock Johnson's Balding Journey: From Curly Brown Hair to a Shaved Head

The question about Dwayne The Rock Johnson's hair is very common. Many people want to know whether he was losing his hair and decided to shave it as a result or if he shaves it because he likes the shaved head look. The actor's explanation came about after a Twitter account for the Showtime TV series A Season With shared a GIF of Johnson with curly brown hair, which sparked a response from the star.

Actor's Explanation

In his response, Dwayne Johnson wrote: "Why I Luv GIFs. Im not bald because I went bald. Im bald because my hair is a cross between an afro and hair from a Lamas ball sac." This statement suggests that he was never bald until he made the choice to go hairless around 2010, a time when he was last spotted rocking a dark buzz cut. Johnson recently turned 49 and continues to maintain his iconic look, which combines baldness, muscle definition, and tattoos.

Early Career and Background

Before venturing into Hollywood, The Rock was a college football player for the University of Miami where he won a national championship on the 1991 Miami Hurricanes football team. Following his athletic career, he briefly played for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League. Although his NFL career was cut short, he found his true calling in professional wrestling.

The Rock's Professional Wrestling Career

The step into professional wrestling wasn’t a random decision for Johnson. Wrestling is in his blood as both his father and grandfather were wrestlers. His father Rocky Johnson was part of the first ever black team to win the WWF (now WWE) Tag Team Championship alongside Tony Atlas. His grandfather on his mother's side is Peter High Chief Maivia, part of the famous Samoan wrestling Anoa'i family. Dwayne is considered a non-blood relative because his mother is Peter's adopted daughter.

After a few tryout matches and winning a World Tag Team Championship, Dwayne Johnson signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the summer of 1996, marking the beginning of his wrestling career. Johnson went on to become one of the most recognizable faces in professional wrestling, both in the WWE and on the silver screen.

Shaving His Head Around 2010

Johnson's bald head became a signature look, and the reason behind his decision to shave his head is quite interesting. According to him, he was never bald until he made the choice to go hairless around 2010. This was a time when he was last spotted with a dark buzz cut. Before braving the shave, he had been keeping short buzz cuts, which made the transition less drastic for him.
