You have to hand it to Wayne Rooney. You write him off as yet
another stone-skulled, macho footballer and in one fell tweet he
turns your preconceptions on their head. When the Manchester United
and England star striker revealed that he had undergone a hair
transplant last week he confessed that his hair loss had left him
feeling sensitive. At the weekend he tweeted, "Just to confirm to
all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at
25, why not. I'm delighted with the result." He is not alone.
Rooney is the latest in a list of celebrities, reportedly including
actor Jude Law and restaurant owner Gordon Ramsay (who deny it),
and Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner, actor James Nesbitt and
the Standard's Dr Christian Jessen (who don't), who have launched a
strike against their shedding scalps. Now experts agree that
baldness, once an inevitability for most men, is becoming a choice.
"Over the past decade, there has been massive advancement in our
technology and science," explains hair restoration surgeon Dr Raghu
Reddy, who works out of The Private Clinic on Harley Street. "There
are now so many options available, it really is a decision based on
lifestyle and your personality."
