Hit the jump and see these 15 celebs who battled struggle hairlines and tried to avoid that George Jefferson swag.

LeBron James

The best basketball player in the world looked like a 40-year-old man at the age of 18, so of course he started losing his hair before 25. Luckily LeBron is dumb rich, so he can just buy another hairline.

Tamar Braxton

The slander about those edges is real.

Jamie Foxx

We saw Jamie Foxx’s hairline slowly creeping back during his flat-top days, but the upgrades two Oscar Awards and a GRAMMY bring helped him remedy that situation.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

From the curly top to the low-cropped do, Dwayne Johnson’s edges were slowly eroding. Eventually the box office star faced facts and chopped off those remnants.

Flo Rida

Let’s hope Flo Rida personally thanked who ever told him he wasn’t fooling anyone with that faux widow’s peak after the burly singer finally shaved what was left of his hair.

Jermaine Dupri

Before Pusha T took the crown, Jermaine Dupri held the distinction as the last brother on the planet with cornrows. Unfortunately, those rows started in the middle of his head.

Jude Law

Maybe the stress from all those baby mamas was the cause of Jude Law’s receding hairline.

Samuel L. Jackson

Props to Sam Jackson for never trying to hide the fact he’s been losing his hair since the Jungle Fever days. We can’t say the same about the directors who kept trying to throw Mr. Glass-styled wigs on him.

Prince William

When you’re the leader of one of the wealthiest countries in the world, you need to either ditch the comb-over or drop some coin for hair transplant surgery.

Jeremy Piven

If you think Ari Gold’s hairline is creeping back now, you should’ve seen him before his Entourage days. The current look is actually an improvement.

Kobe Bryant

For someone who came into the NBA as an 18-year-old with a shaved head, we can’t really understand why Kobe is trying to hang on to what’s left of his low cropped Caesar.

Carlos Boozer

Black ice is for your edge up not your entire head.

Baron Davis

B-Diddy tried to resurrect the jheri curls half of Southern California was wearing in the ‘80s, and the Internet came for blood.

Nobody wants a President with a comb-over.

Hank Baskett

When you’re knocking down a former Playboy bunny, maybe you get emboldened enough to walk out of the house with your hairline looking like Balrog from Street Fighter II.
