I was looking for a movie to watch awhile back and I came across a poster of the new Mummy movie on the papers. I remembered that Brendan Fraser had a soft, floppy fringe when he did the first Mummy movie years ago.
Brendan Fraser in action, soft floppy fringe and all in Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor.
Like all celebrity junkies, I decided to Google to learn more about the new movie. Is it good? Does he still look like a swashbuckling hero? Guess what I found - Brendan Fraser with a head of thinning hair at the premier of the Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (aka The Mummy III).
Gasp.
It looks like Hollywood’s mummy blasting hero has had some hair treatments (or maybe a wig) for the movie. Yes, I had to do a double-take too. A little too wispy don’t you think?
My husband, once again, became inexplicably more attractive to me as I nursed the comforting realisation that hair loss hits celebrities too.
Did Mr Fraser receive a hair transplant? What does a hair transplant involve? I was curious to learn more so off to Google I went. And here it is:
Hair transplantation typically involves removing tissue from a donor area - the area of the scalp which contains healthy hair follicles - and dissecting it to make individual hair follicular units and micro-grafts.
The hair grafts are prepared and then placed into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp. These follicle units also have to be strategically placed at precise angles to create a natural look.
“Strategically placed at precise angles to create a natural look” - I guess if you insert them too far apart your scalp will look like Barbie’s toy boy Ken’s hair.
It seems like more and more people who are experiencing hair loss problems are seeking hair transplant procedures as it is a permanent hair restoration method. Does it work? Has it worked for you? Let me know!
