Wayne Rooney Hair transplant

[sausage]

There is a lot of talk about whether Rooney is using Dermatch, simply dieing his hair or his hair is simply changing colour due to the reaction from the Hair Transplant.

I was just thinking back to the first shot of his Hair Transplant that he posted on Twitter:



He clearly is not wearing Dermatch in this photo.....the new grafted hair looks a decent density although I understand that 10-20% of grafted hair may have been lost since then as can be expected.

But....does everyone agree that this is the best photo to judge his density on, you would expect that to have grown out into a fairly decent head of hair as it looks like anyone would look with a shaved head, possibly a little thinner.

All the photo's I have seen look good, also when he is on TV. Yes he may have something in his hair but if he has, does he really need it, or is he just giving it that extra help for his or the surgeons sake.

Photo's on here of other people's results to me do not need dermatch as the hair looks thick enough in my eyes.

Here is another photo Rooney tweeted a few months back:



Here he is having a haircut and his hair looks amazing. He surely would not be wearing Dermatch whilst having a haircut?

So if we are going to speculate what his hair looks like without any Dermatch/hair die or whatever in it then aren't these 2 photos good photos to go by?

I need hair nowwwwww. I want my hair back like Wayne.

[ulanude]

amazing success. anybody knows name and address of his doctor?

Well with dermmatch on you could go swimming. As for Wayne, I actually think he wasn't wearing any concealer today. Maybe he had more like 4000 FUE. I thought it was about 3000 orginally. Who knows. It looks very well anyway. Good for him.

A must see!
Rooney in the Manchester FA Cup derby, the hair looks great, longer length than usual.
Rooney's fue is a great success and without the concealer, i say this because it's raining and he's just scored (with a header!!) so pats on the head galore, what concealer can stand up to that?

We're passed the 6 month mark with his fue, what a result!

Thoughts?

I think he's wearing dermmatch. He got it done in early June I think so it's nowhere near the finished result. Looks good though.

seems quite a few people who have seen various photos believe he's using concealer. Apparantly you can wear some types of concealer and do sports. I havent seen the various pic's but the fact he went to the uk and its only a few months in it wouldnt surprise me.

Plus if you see the pics of rooney with his hair longer the change isnt as dramatic, he shaved his hair so he looked very bold.

That said I hope he isnt wearing concealer and the results are good because we sure lack top HT doc's in the uk.

I know Rooney still young, but it's incredible how many years He regain now that his HT is showing its results. He definitely looks much better.

can somebody (in the know talk about the new shape of his hairline). To me it looks like its trying to show no recession whatsoever (is this typical of FUE or optional). To me it looks like the down side to this is it makes the forhead look big. Personally I prefer how sneider's HT (i think he got one) looks

‘Standbyme’, you’re right it could lead to a load of botched jobs, but unfortunately I think that’s going to happen whether it becomes a popular procedure or remains underground. A friend of mine who had it done told me a few simple rules to follow when looking for a HT, he said: - Do your research, talk to doctors and above all don’t go for the cheapest option just because it’s the cheapest option!!!!

Rooney, like ‘follicle death row’ mentioned has a great sense off humour about this thinning dome and it seems also about his newly thatched noggin. I really hope it continues.

Its in stark contrast to Say Matthew Mcconaughey. What a let down, he had a chance to change the opinion of people but he blow it!! He put it down to some miracle lotion! What a load of rubbish. It’s shameful because it fills people with false hope and he made himself look foolish and sad for lying!! If he’d been honest and said ‘I was losing it so I got a HT, simple as that! Now look at all the dolce and gabbana ads and new movie parts I’m getting!!! $$$$$$ (crap movies in general) but he’s still getting them. I guarantee he wouldn’t have got them if he hadn’t fixed his hair line. It’s sad but it’s the way it is.

Some do say Mr Mcconaughey wears a partial piece, anyway I agree with you about them being unfront but admiring them was little strong I thought anyway did you see someone in the papers today who had A ht, he's delighted, not sure I would be looking at the pics, and he's had 2 procedures.

Yeah I'd love to see data. I reckon we are balding younger. My father didn't start thinning until 34. I'm 25 now (norwood 2/2.5ish) but I've been thinning since about 21/22 I'd say albeit slowly but it's speeding up now. So I got a 12 or 13 year head start on the old man. In that case I should be norwood 6 by 30.

well...what's really funny is that my grandfather from my mother's side never went bald. but my cousin's from my mother side, as well as i, are all balding...at very young ages (i had a receding hairline since i was 16 or 17...but only now it's beginning to be visable (i'm 23)). my dad on the other hand is 62 and has the hairline of a teenager...so you see a lot of older people with intact hairlines, but A LOT of young people who are thinning at like 18-22. in a way it makes me feel good like i'm not alone...on the other hand it's pretty sad.

Why should he not care & get on with it?
Standbyme, if u were to practise what you preach you wouldn't even be on the bald truth forum right?!
We can watch how this pans out, gives us hope, its a big step towards stamping out the stigma, give him his dues, blimey.
Keep up your research, regards

I'm not saying I've accepted it, obviously not, but I dont see why some celeb should be praised for having a HT, surely people in the spotlight who dont concern themselves with appearance should be praised, nothing wrong with those who have sugery but wouldnt it be a better place if less emphasis was placed on looks? Then there wouldnt be a stigma at all.
