Celebrity Hair Transplants

HAIR LOSS & HAIR TRANSPLANTS

Hair loss is no longer a taboo subject, everyone is discussing it and the media is awash with experts suggesting ways to help prevent it.

Unfortunately, when it comes to replacing it, it is a little difficult to restore what has already been lost on a more permanent basis unless you are willing to consider hair transplant surgery.

Men are no longer going into hiding pre and post-hair transplant surgery. Many instead decide to share their stories with friends, family, colleagues and even online. It is much more common now to see celebrities being honest about having a hair transplant procedure, which is why we believe the previous secrecy behind it, is slowly reducing.

We have covered celebrity hair transplants in previous blogs, taking a look at Wayne Rooney, James Nesbitt and Calum Best to name a few who have all been very open about their hair transplant procedures. this has helped many men to seek advice and help for a problem they may have been struggling with for a number of years.

Alan Halsall Hair Transplant

Recent headlines feature Coronation Street star Alan Halsall who previously had a hair transplant in 2016. He had his second hair transplant treatment in March 2019. Alan Halsall grew increasingly self-conscious about his thinning hair before he finally decided to have a hair transplant procedure. He now states that having a hair transplant has given him more confidence and that people have it done all the time – it’s not something to be ashamed of.

Jack P Shepherd Hair Transplant

Jack P Shepherd who also appears on Coronation Street as David Platt very openly had an FUE Hair Transplant procedure after he began to notice a big change in the shape and fullness of his hairline.

“I remember seeing myself on screen and thinking: ‘Oh my God, it is really falling out.” – Jack P Shepherd

Jack had 3,000 hairs transplanted into the front of his hairline in December 2018 and has since had a second procedure in 2019 a year after his first procedure. Recent photos have showed him with a much fuller and thicker hair line.

“I really hope that this will fix the problem for good because, as an actor, it is vital that I keep hold of my hair”

Rafa Nadal Hair Transplant

Tennis superstar Rafa Nadal was once known for having an impressive head of hair but back in 2016 he underwent a hair transplant procedure after noticing thinning especially around the crown which proves that no one is immune to hair loss.

Anton du Beke Hair Transplant

Anton du Beke is one of the most recent celebrities to discuss the hair transplant procedure that he had back in 2017. The Professional ballroom dancer, Latin dancer and television presenter had previously felt unhappy with his hair loss. After speaking to James Nesbitt about his hair transplant experience he finally decided to go ahead with the procedure.

“I feel 25 again. It’s given me so much more confidence when appearing on television or having my picture taken.” – Anton du Beke

Greg Shepherd Hair Transplant

Reality TV star, Greg Shepherd has been very open about his hair transplant experience. He has been sharing his journey for his TV series Family Diaries. This is a documentary show that also features his wife Billie Faiers from The Only way is Essex.

When Greg shaved his head for charity back in 2019, his areas of balding and hair loss became more prominent.

“I recently had to shave my head for a charity event and realised I was going bald. It took a lot longer for the hair, on the top of my head, to grow back!” 

He decided to have a hair transplant with the aim of restoring his hair loss and increasing the density of his hair.

He has since been praised for being so open about his procedure. He has helped make other men feel less ashamed about hair loss and more confident to enquire about hair loss treatments.

Mike Thurston Hair Transplant

In our clinic recently we had bodybuilder and now personal trainer, Mike Thurston come in for FUE Hair Transplant surgery. Mike explained how he was always prepared for hair loss having noticed that it seems to run in the family. After struggling to style it he decided to shave his hair off and embrace the buzz cut for a few months before gradually letting it grow back and using certain hair loss products to give a fuller experience to his head of hair. Eventually, Mike felt enough was enough and visited our Harley Street clinic to discuss the prospect of a FUE Hair Transplant procedure.

Training and exercise is a big part of Mike Thurston’s life so that was a big deciding factor when it came to considering a hair transplant procedure but after listening to the advice and recommendations from our surgeons, the procedure day was booked and 5000 hairs were transplanted to Mike’s hairline and crown over a 2 day period.

See Mike’s video below to follow the first half of his hair transplant journey at The Private Clinic in London Harley Street.
