Usually, Cee-Lo Green catches my attention with his songs on the radio – last week, however, he caught my attention in the press. The iconic bald star exclaimed his love for hair and said he wished he had long, flowing locks to add to his flamboyant style. He even admitted he would consider a hair […]
I recently spotted an interesting article, which said that hair loss could be caused by marital status, drinking and smoking habits. The research, compiled by the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, detailed that being a divorcee, widowed, heavy smoker or drinker can affect your hairline, especially if you’re a woman. I’ve looked into the environmental […]
Some male celebrities have spoken rather candidly about cosmetic surgery – the odd nose job here and there, perhaps a face lift or hint of botox. On the other hand hair loss has been something that most celebrities have kept, quite literally, under their hats. Over the past few years, that’s all changed. When someone […]
It’s not just wrapping up warm we need to remember in these wet and windy months. Our hair can also take a bit of a battering to, so we should take extra care to prevent unnecessary hair loss. Autumn sparks the time when unexpected hair loss happens to hundreds of thousands of women – and […]
It’s time to add another date to the Farjo Diary! As both my wife Nilofer and I are heavily involved in fields of research surrounding hair loss and hair transplant surgery, we try to attend as many conferences as we can throughout the year. This time we’re off to Anchorage, Alaska, to attend the 19th […]
Latest figures from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) show that, despite the global recession, the demand for procedures to correct hair loss has been stronger than ever. A survey of members of the ISHRS – one of the world’s leading medical authorities on hair loss and hair restoration – found between 2008 […]
Of late, all eyes have been on Wayne Rooney after he tweeted in June to confirm the rumours that he had had a hair transplant. Since then, it’s been an endless procession of stories in the press; rumours about the price he paid, who did it and where, were all circulating for weeks after. What’s […]
I was recently asked to comment on the relationship between stem cells and hair loss for an article entitled ‘The end of baldness’. New research suggests that bald men are not in fact bald, but the stem cells of a bald scalp are producing growths that are just too fine to be seen by the naked […]
Katie Price is not the first female celebrity who is said to have suffered from hair loss. Less than a year ago, photographs emerged of Naomi Campbell showing visible bald spots. Two very different women, one cause of hair loss – traction alopecia! This problem is something I’ve commented on many times before. But for […]
A recent article to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Esquire magazine named the 20 men who’ll most shape and influence the next 20 years and, rather flatteringly, I made the shortlist! It’s a huge honour to be placed alongside the likes of Prince Charles but the best part of it all, is that it really […]
