Who is Mazraoui & What Sparked the Talk
Noussair Mazraoui is a Moroccan-Dutch footballer, recently transferred to Manchester United. Known earlier for his curly hair, fans noticed a change in his hair appearance during a big match. His hair seemed shorter and more uniform, leading many to wonder: “Did Mazraoui get a hair transplant?” and “Are those before and after hair transplant photos real?”
The speculation heated up when supporters pointed out that his signature hairline looked more filled-in than in past games. Some believe his absence from certain matches might correlate with a recovery period for such a procedure.
What Clinics Say & What’s Confirmed
A clinic in Amsterdam published that Mazraoui underwent a “hair transplant” using an FUE variant called “FUE CT,” explicitly for hairline reconstruction. Before that, his hairline was receding, and after treatment, it reportedly looked much fuller. According to the clinic, the transplant was customized and delivered high satisfaction. These details indicate that it is more than just rumor — there’s credible indication that Mazraoui had some form of surgical hair restoration. (Though it’s not publicly known if it was a full transplant session or some partial graft work.)
Comparison: Before & After
While we don’t have exhaustive photo galleries, here’s what’s generally observed:
| Period | Appearance Before | Appearance After |
|---|---|---|
| Before Match 2024 | Receding hairline, more prominent bald spots or thinning at the frontal area | Hairline appears denser, crown area looks fuller, hair more uniformly thick |
| After Treatment | Hairstyle attempts to conceal thinning, sometimes buzzed very short | Shorter style but with noticeably more volume and less scalp shine in strong light |
Fans used before/after photos and match-day camera shots to support these observations. The change appears gradual (not overnight), suggesting a surgical transplant followed by natural regrowth.

Is There a Connection to DHI?
The public statements and clinic materials suggest the procedure was FUE-based (or an FUE variant). There’s no verified claim that Mazraoui used the DHI technique specifically. However, his case fits many traits that DHI could enhance — tighter angles at the hairline, dense graft placement, and a minimal visible donor scar. For anyone considering hair restoration believing Mazraoui’s transformation, clinics like Cosmeticium offer doctor-led DHI transplants, which could achieve similar results when done well.
What We Don’t Know
-
The exact date of Mazraoui’s surgery or surgeries
-
Whether multiple sessions were needed
-
Whether he combined surgical transplantation with non-surgical treatments (like PRP, fillers, or topical therapies)
-
Detailed confirmation from Mazraoui himself
So while there’s strong indication he had a procedure, some elements remain speculative.
