Tarek El Moussa Shares His Hair Growth Secrets
On June 25, El Moussa posted a video on Instagram in an attempt to put all the rumors about his hair to rest.
“Let’s talk about the rumors … No, I didn’t get a head transplant. No, I don’t wear a toupee. And no, I’m not pumped full of filler. 😂” he wrote in the caption.
El Moussa continued, “But I did get hair injections and SkinVive … and we livestreamed the whole thing.”
The HGTV star added, “I go live on TikTok almost every day — no filters, no edits, nothing to hide. Tune in and see for yourself.”
In the video, he explained, “Here’s the deal, you guys. I’m gonna prove to y’all that I am not wearing a toupee. This is my real hair.”
El Moussa shared, “We’re taking a little bit of blood today,” noting that he was having PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma injections. The injector called it “fertilizer of the scalp.”
He also had a facial treatment at the appointment. El Moussa explained, “Heather [his wife] loves this SkinVive stuff, so she sent me here to get SkinVive.”
The injector called it an “injectable,” noting, “It’s gonna help with pore size, fine lines … give you a nice youthful glow.”
As they started to work on his scalp, El Moussa explained, “They put this vibrating thing on my head to distract me from the pain.”
He continued, “It’s not that bad. It’s really not that bad. I’m doing okay. I’m not crying yet.”
During his facial, he was injected with a needle. “It’s not filler,” the injector noted. “It’s technically a skin treatment. He’s never done filler. He’s just naturally blessed.”

Another fan added, “Excellent self-care!”
“Never thought you had a toupee, but ouch!🙈” another fan commented. “Looks great though.”
When one fan asked more about the scalp injections, El Moussa’s injector answered: “They help with hair growth. This is PRP, which is from our own blood. Think of PRP as our body’s natural fertilizer. It nourishes the hair follicle and helps it grow stronger and thicker.”
