    Ben Affleck has them, (head like a brillo-pad)
    Declan Donnelly has them (the shorter of Ant and Dec)
    Derren Brown has them
    Billy Bob Thornton has them (obviously, he was bald a few years ago)
    Jimmy White has them
    Pat Kenny has them

    Anyone think of any more ?

    I think that Steve Carell does! In the first series of the office his hair was noticably thin but as each series went on it got fuller and fuller.... reverse aging perhaps? :rolleyes:

    That's because there's nothing wrong with it, I'm losing my hair at a fairly young age and once it gets to the point of return and demands some kind of action, I'll replace it through surgery or cosmetically. If you lose teeth you don't just say "oh well" and get on with it so there's no reason you shouldn't replace your hair.

    Also Rob Brydon and Silvio Berlusconi

    What's the craic with these? Do they grow or what? What if it gets pulled out, is that curtains for the hair??

    Think I'd just go for a rug if I was a balding man.. thank God I wasn't a boy.. my dad started loosing his hair mid 20 :eek:

    .... and Silvio Berlusconi

    I don't think Berlusconi got hair plugs. It looks more like laser or some other treatment which has caused very thin hairs to grow back as opposed to normal thickness hair transplanted from the back.

    Are they hair plugs or a hair system?? Either way I see nothing wrong with them, would go the same route if I had to!;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,807 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    I have no idea what nonsense was wrote just above me.

    To answer Gridlock, I think hair plugs are just an early variation of Hair Transplants and these days its either Hair Transplant or Hair System (hairpiece basically). I know that Travolta uses a hair piece (google Travolta swiss lace and you'll see it very obvious), as does Nicholas Cage and Mark Strong for some roles but I believe McConaughey and a few others had hair transplants (Berlusconi had admitted doing so. Either way it takes a few months for hair transplants to kick into gear and catch up with the rest of your hair length so maybe the schedueles of a lot of actors mean they can't go into hiding for that long and resort to hair systems instead

    Stephen Ireland is the man to ask about that.... if rumours about the Irish team pulling his out are to be believed.... :rolleyes:

    Declan Donnelly without question.

    Seen him on TV there for the first time in ages and it's the first thing you notice.

    He now has a really thick head of hair.

    James Nesbit also but he is obviously having the transplanting of individual hair follicles.
