Celebrities including actors, sportsmen and women, famous designers, beauticians, singers and others in the entertainment business feel a pressing need to stop hair loss as they are in the limelight almost constantly, and need to look good. For nothing is hair called the crowning glory. Very few people are comfortable with their baldness, and pointless to say very few men look good with bald heads.

Some Celebrities Who Went For Hair Transplant

However he has not made his mane thick but has gone for a more natural thinner look.

Brendan Fraser tried medication to stop hair loss but had to eventually go to a hair transplant surgeon. Since he had enough follicular unit grafts in the donor area which is the back and sides of the head, more hair was available for transplant to the balding areas.

Actor Tom Hanks did not have much hair on top of his head. But this also started receding few years back. Recently the hair line has emerged which has helped him retain his looks and mature composure. Thanks to hair transplant technology.

Jeremy Piven who fell prey to the hair fall malady has undergone hair transplant to regain his hair naturally. This has also helped him regain his position in the entertainment business.

Kevin Costner was affected by baldness in his middle-age. It did not go unnoticed as the fact found mention in many newspapers. As usual such cosmetic details are not accepted by celebrities. But the appearance of a natural-looking hairline in Costner’s case is proof that he did visit a hair transplant surgeon. He is an early adopter and Costner moved to hair transplants being tired of digitally adding hair.

Elton John famous for many things is a rock singer, songwriter, composer, pianist and actor who also went for hair transplant and also owned up to having done so. Wayne Rooney started losing hair at a young age, and was averse to hats and things. Following such young celebrities, many young people have started going for hair transplants.

Antonio Conte’s hair transplant is so natural and matches his looks that it is hard to imagine that he went for a hair transplant. Other celebrities like Kevin Spacey and Jason Alex seem to sport a full head of hair. Although it looks natural, and many suspect that they went for hair transplant surgery, experts opine that they are probably wearing well designed and made hair pieces.

Whatever the method, celebrities are under the compulsion to step out with a full head of hair. After trying to cover their heads with wigs, scarves and hats and using medications, celebrities have famously started getting hair transplants done. The wait time to get a full head of natural hair is significantly less in hair transplants. The technological advancement and sophistication of methods have reduced downtime and cause no scars. They can start working in no time and need not lose out on remuneration. Looks are their USP.
