Are you considering getting hair transplant surgery?

If so, you should know many people have done it, and this includes a lot of famous people. Do you want to know which celebrities have undergone hair transplant surgery? If you do, then check out these four famous people who have done it.

James Nesbitt - Before & After

This celebrity was looking quite bald in 2005, but by 2013 he was sporting much more hair and people were left wondering how he did it, but that is no longer a secret. This is because Nesbitt has openly discussed having surgery in order to help him. In fact, he didn’t just have one hair transplant, he underwent two of them and he was pleased with the results he got from the transplant. He also said that getting the hair transplants changed his life, and the chances are getting a hair transplant will change your life too.

Joey Fatone - Before & After

Joey-Fatone-Hair-Transplant
You might recognise this name because he was part of one of the most famous boy bands in the world, Nsync. Fatone’s hair was noticeably getting thinner as time went on, and his hair looked thicker from seemingly out of nowhere. However, the reason why his hair looked thicker and fuller is because he underwent hair transplant surgery, and what a difference it has made. It is probably fair to say that Fatone is happy with the results he got from the surgery.

Wayne Rooney - Before & After

One of the most famous soccer players in the world used to sport a bald spot back in 2011, but by 2014, he was sporting a full head of hair. There were rumours going around that he got a hair transplant, and eventually he openly admitted to getting one. He said he was 25-years-old and he was bald, so he figured why not. He too also said he was happy with the results, and it’s no secret why because if you look at a photo of Rooney in 2011 and one today, you can notice a huge difference.

John Cleese - Before & After

Monty Python star John Cleese has also undergone hair transplant surgery, and if you compare photos of his head from 2008 and 2013, then you will notice a big difference. As for why Cleese chose to receive hair transplants, he said he didn’t want to wear wigs and he had a skull that was weirdly shaped and pointy. It was probably a good think he chose to receive hair transplants instead of wearing a wig because hair transplants look more natural than wigs and transplants tend to be one of the best ways to get more hair on your head.
As you can see, there are a number of celebrities who have undergone hair transplants. James Nesbitt, Wayne Rooney and Joey Fatone and John Cleese are only a few of the many famous people who have gotten hair transplant surgery. If you’re losing your hair or you’re bald or have a bald spot, then consider undergoing hair transplant surgery because it can make all the difference in the world.

What Is Male Pattern Baldness And How To Treat It

Male pattern baldness is a type of androgenetic alopecia. This type of baldness is the cause of almost 95 percent of hair loss in men.


In the UK, almost two-thirds of men age 35 or older will experience appreciable hair loss and by the time they are 50, almost 85 percent of all men will experience thinning hair.
For men who have male pattern baldness, about 25 percent will begin experiencing symptoms by age 21. Studies show that most men who experience male pattern baldness are very unhappy with their hair loss. It apparently affects almost every aspect of their life and they will do almost anything to fix it.
There are several possible causes for hair loss in men, but the most common is male pattern baldness. Most hair loss in men may be attributed to male pattern baldness, but other conditions such as medications, serious diseases, and even high levels of stress may also cause hair loss.
If a man suffers from male pattern baldness, they have inherited hair follicles that are sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). These types of hair follicles shorten or miniaturize over time, shortening each hair follicle’s life span. These hair follicles will eventually stop producing hair.

Most men with male pattern baldness will first notice their hair receding from their forehead or they will notice their hair is thinning on the crown of their head. It appears that hair in these two areas are especially sensitive to DHT. Both of these patterns will eventually progress into more noticeable areas of baldness and may eventually disappear from all parts of the head, only leaving a rim of hair or the familiar horseshoe pattern. Some men may lose all of their hair.
Male pattern baldness is caused by a hair follicle sensitivity to DHT. DHT is derived from testosterone. DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink, but when the DHT is suppressed, the hair follicles may continue to grow. When a hair follicle is sensitive to DHT, long exposure to the hormone will result in the miniaturisation of the hair follicle. This process may be stopped or slowed if treatment is started early on.
Over the past several years, medicine has made great progress in treating male pattern baldness. The creation of treatments such as Propecia, a 5-alpha-reductace inhibitor, and hair restoration surgery means that men do not have to live with hair loss. It is now possible to slow or stop hair loss and to replace lost hair through surgery.
While there are effective treatments & hair transplants for hair loss, it is important to be aware that many that are advertised are nothing more than scams. Most advertised hair loss treatments will not work. The only effective treatments are approved by the FDA and will be recommended or endorsed by an Association.
Successful treatment of male pattern baldness is dependent upon early intervention and treatment. As soon as the hair loss is noticed, it is important to discuss the condition with your medical provider to determine the best course of treatment.

Why Hair Transplants Are So Popular

For quite a long time, people were too ashamed of the fact that they had undergone a hair transplant.


As a matter of fact, most people did not even dare reveal that they had done it. The remedy for rescinding hair lines and unexplained bald patches on one’s hair was to have a hair stylist give you a weird hair style. But not any longer.
Hair transplants are now no longer considered shameful and the current trend is that more and more people are undergoing the procedure.
But why? What made people change their perspective all of a sudden?
Well, besides the fact that the procedure is actually a really great solution to hair loss, there is the factor of celebrities. Celebrities are not only a huge part of our entertainment, they also knowingly or unknowingly influence our trends and behaviour. It is not about emulating what they do, but rather more about sharing in their comfort. After all, if a celebrity who is under the scrutiny of the whole world can pull off a trend, then why not you?
Over the years, a lot of celebrities have come out and stated boldly about their hair loss problem and how they took to hair transplants to solve it. This has in turn influenced and inspired more people to go for the procedure as well as to be bold enough about it. Hair loss is an embarrassing thing to a lot of people. It could be shameful and has the potential of ruining one’s esteem and potentially, his/her personality. This is what is so inspiring when a celebrity comes out and states that they too faced hair loss problem and that they fixed those problems through hair transplants.
Whether or not the trend of increasing popularity on the part of hair transplants continues as it is, the fact remains that celebrities still play a key role in influencing how people view the procedure. There are of course those who are speculated to have had the procedure but who haven’t declared it publicly themselves. Then there are those who are on the forefront, advocating for hair transplant. In the end, hair transplants are growingly popular because of the celebrity influence.
Some of the celebrities who have openly declared undergoing hair transplants include Wayne Rooney and Will Ferrel among so many others ranging from politicians and sports personalities to musicians and actors.

Of course, there is also the fact that the procedure has become a whole lot more effective over the years, seeing as we can’t tell whether a celebrity has really had a hair transplant or not.

Facts And Information About Human Hair

Human hair helps people to feel natural and beautiful. Hair that is beautiful and soft in texture can be a joy to behold, in women and men.

The movement of hair is very unique and this cannot be duplicated in synthetic hair. Human hair is extremely flexible. It is adaptable and can be changed in many ways.

Facts

  • The human head contains an average of 100,000 hairs on it and according to the research whether the hair is black, blond, straight, wavy, curly, thick or thin, all are made up of same components.
  • Human hair is made up of keratin which is also found in animal feathers, hoofs, claws as well as fingernails.
  • It is interesting to keep in mind that about 10 to 13 percent of hair is made up of water.
  • The rate of hair growth in average person is one half inch per month.

What is human hair made of ?

The human hair is made up of tough protein. In the skin the hair follicle anchors hairs. The base of the hair follicle is formed with the hair bulb. And the hair shaft is formed due to the living cells which divide and help to grow in the hair bulb. The hair bulb is nourished by the blood vessels. At different times of life, hormones are delivered and help in the modification of hair growth as well as the structure of the hair.

Three phases of hair growth

The growth of hair consists of three phases
  1. The first phase due to which hair growth is possible. This phase is known as Anagen which is the active stage and helps to build up the fiber. In this phase hair spends more than 7 years.
  2. The second phase is the transitional phase known as catagen. In this phase hair stops growing around 10-20 days . Growth of the hair slows down and the hair follicle also shrinks.
  3. The third phase is the resting phase known as telogen. In this phase the old hair detaches from the hair follicle. The growth of the hair begins with this phase and it pushes the new hair to come out.

Features

  • Human hair consists of three parts and the cortex is the main part , which holds the cells and gives colour to the hair.
  • Medulla is the second part which is almost invisible to humans.
  • The cuticle is the third and outer layer of hair. If the cuticle is not taken care of then it will get damaged and the hair can look dull and out of condition.

Misconceptions about Human Hair

People often have misconceptions about hair that is oily. But basically it is the sebaceous glands in the scalp that makes the oil seep out into the hair. However this oil is good and essential for hair and helps your hair to stay shiny as well as healthy. The term greasy and oily hair is due to the activity of the sebaceous glands.
