Naomi Campbell traction alopecia
Naomi Campbell, has suffered a type of hair loss called ’Traction Alopecia’. This is usually the result of hair styles which involve pulling and securing hair into shape such as braiding, corn rows and extensions.
Traction alopecia often shows as distinct patches of hair loss in those areas where the hair and hair follicles have been put under excessive strain. The hair loss may occur anywhere on the scalp depending on the nature of the hair style or process that is causing the traction, but the frontal hairline is the most common area where traction alopecia is seen.
In the early stages traction alopecia is a temporary and reversible form of hair loss and simply avoiding hair styles that put excessive strain on the hair will allow any lost hair to grow back normally. If, however, the pulling on the hair continues for a long period of type – typically 3 years or more – it eventually leads to the formation of fibrosis and scar tissue within the affected hair follicles resulting in a permanent inability for those follicles to produce new hair under any circumstances.
 Jason Gardiner n-ice transplant
Jason Gardiner’s hair transplant reportedly cost £22,000 as the hospital was closed for the day, but there are more affordable options.
Hair Transplanting is a surgical technique that involves moving individual hair follicles from the donor site at the back of the head to bald area of the scalp (the recipient site). The reason this technique can be very successful is because the hairs which are transplanted from the back of the head are not genetically programmed to respond to elevated levels of DHT and so will not be lost as the original hair were.
Hair transplantation has improved enormously over the last 15 years or so. Originally comparatively large grafts of skin were transplanted from one area to the other and frequently these ’plugs’ of hair were unsightly. Indeed, in the past I have come across hair transplants so badly done eventually all the plugs had to be removed because they looked embarrassingly ridiculous.
In total contrast this, however, there have always been excellent hair transplant surgeons who’s work was always superb; and things have got even better with the last few years with a technique called micro-grafting. This is where, instead of the large plugs of skin, very small grafts containing 1 to 4 hairs are inserted into the thinning area of the scalp, with often spectacular results. In the right hands this technique results in totally natural looking hair which is virtually undetectable even to an expert eye.
Cost: £4,000 - £10,000+ depending on the number of graphs required.
Wayne Rooney’s hair transplant was done in a Harley Street clinic and cost £13,500.

 January Jones’ hair is falling out
The ’Mad Men’ actress has been dying her tresses for several years and she admits it is starting to take its toll as her hair is coming out in clumps.
She told Grazia Daily: "I have been every colour and now my hair is falling out in clumps. I’m going to have to shave it off and wear a wig."
Throughout the years, January has been blonde, brunette, red and even pink but says her 16-month-old son Xander prefers her blonde.
She said: "My son recognises me in photos when I am blonde. He says ’mama.’ "
When January first went brunette she admitted people close to her had no idea who she was.
The 35-year-old beauty said: "I was suddenly invisible. Not just as a celebrity, but to my friends and family. I was like, ’Come on you guys, it’s me!’ "
