Celebrity Hair Transplants Before and After - Pictures & Details

Like most people, celebrities also experience hair loss mainly due to a heredity condition called androgenetic alopecia (commonly called male or female-pattern baldness). However, other reasons can promote hair loss in celebrities, which include:

1. Workout and Diet: Celebrities engage in regular workouts and follow strict diets to maintain their looks. However, they tend to lose hair when their body does not get enough nutrients or has too much testosterone. 
2. Hair Products: Actors get their hair coloured, straightened, curled, or blow-dried for their different roles daily. They also need to use many chemical hair products, which can damage their hair follicles. 
3. Harsh Weather Conditions: Celebrities spend a significant amount of time under harsh conditions, such as strong lights or the sun, which can trouble their locks. 
4. Lack of Rest: Rest and sleep are two important requirements of healthy hair. Celebrities who do not get enough rest can start experiencing hair loss. 

With several celebrities getting their hairlines adjusted, the once-infamous hair transplant procedure has now become standard. The following are the actors who transplanted their hair for a thick, fuller head of hair. 

Salman Khan

1. Salman Khan, one of the biggest superstars in Bollywood, started noticing a receding hairline in the early 2000s. After having a bald look in his movie ‘Tere Naam’, Salman Khan underwent his first hair transplant in 2003 in India. After the transplant, his picture started doing rounds on the internet, showing his scar from the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) technique. Due to the visible scar, he was unsatisfied with the results and went completely bald at the time. 
2. After the unsatisfactory results of the first surgery, the actor decided to undergo another surgery in 2007 in Dubai. The second treatment using a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique offered better results, with no sutures and quick recovery time. Finally, he underwent a third hair transplant procedure in 2016 at his farmhouse in Panvel by hair transplant surgeons from Dubai. The excellent results of the latest FUE surgery are visible to everyone. Selecting the right surgeon makes the procedure safe and secure with a high success rate.
