As long as there have been famous people, there have been fans attempting to copy their looks. Throughout history, men and women alike have drawn inspiration from, celebrity hairstyles, makeup, and fashions of royalty, film stars, rock stars, and more. Now with plastic surgery, we can take celebrity emulation one step further, and hair restoration is no exception.
With recent technological innovations in hair transplants, more celebrities have been undergoing hair restoration procedures and are being more open and transparent about the fact that they’ve had some professional help with their locks. Similarly, we have been seeing an uptick in men citing celebrity hairstyles as inspiration for their own hair restoration procedures. Read on to find out why this is important to obtain a positive result for your own hair transplant.
How to Get a Celebrity Hairstyle
Believe it or not, bringing in pictures of celebrity hairstyles during your consultation can actually be incredibly helpful in the planning process for your hair transplant. Remember: a picture is worth a thousand words! Often, hair transplant candidates are not aware of the correct terminology to describe what they want their results to be. They know that they want thicker, fuller hair and a lowered hairline, but they’re not sure how to describe their desired hair density, hairline location, or hairline shape. Reviewing pictures of real men can help to ensure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. While you could certainly review pictures of any men with great hair, celebrity hairstyles are the easiest to reference since it’s so easy to find high-quality pictures of them.
When discussing celebrity hairstyles with your surgeon, the goal isn’t to replicate the celebrity hairstyle exactly but to give your surgeon a better idea of your ideal outcome. The more you communicate your wishes, the better your outcome will be. So during your consultation, bring in examples of celebrities whose hairstyles you would like to emulate.
Best Celebrity Hair
Not sure where to start? These are some of the most sought-after celebrity hairstyles at Dr. Umar’s practice.
Bono
This Irish singer’s mane is often requested by patients, including one recent patient who had previously suffered from a botched hair transplant and asked Dr. Umar for a hairline like Bono’s.
George Clooney
The actor and filmmaker’s salt and pepper locks provide inspiration to many patients of Dr. Umar.
Robert Downey, Jr.
The Ironman actor’s head full of dark hair is often cited as a desired result by patients.
Brad Pitt
While Brad Pitt’s chiseled good looks are often sought after via plastic surgery, his hairline is also desired by Dr. Umar’s patients.
Johnny Depp
This actor and musician have always had great hair – a fact that’s not lost on patients seeking a fuller head of hair!
Remember: the goal isn’t to exactly duplicate a celebrity’s hairstyle. When you request a specific celebrity’s hairstyle, you are actually giving the plastic surgeon a better idea of your desired aesthetic. Communication is key, and looking at celebrity hairstyles are a great way to open communication between you and your doctor.
Celebrity Influence on Eyebrow Fashion
Men may look to celebrity males for the perfect hairline to show their hair transplant doctor. But what inspiration from the stars might women ask for from a hair restoration surgeon?
These days, it seems that there are so many articles, videos, and tutorials on how to achieve full, well-shaped eyebrows Amazing brows add drama, depth and edge to the eye area.
So it is no wonder that many women are choosing to undergo eyebrow transplantation if their own natural brows are thin and sparse.
Two popular examples of celebrity eyebrows that Dr. Umar’s patients aim for include:
The highly specialized Dr.UPunch Rotor allows finer hairs from the nape, legs or other appropriate body donor source to be harvested. Dr. Umar then inserts these grafts to recreate the appropriate growth directions, angles, eyebrow shapes and lengths that closely resemble the examples that his patients want to achieve.
These days emulating celebrity hairstyles not only affects how people wear the hair on their head but also how they want their eyebrows to look as well.
