There will be a documentary on Hair replacements next week on BBC 1 northern ireland (should be watchable on SKY), it is to be hosted by a radio DJ who explores Hair transplants and their advancements over the years. Below is the article i just read that advertises this program. Might be worth a watch*nl



Popular radio DJ Gerry Anderson has refused to reveal whether or not he got a hair transplant ahead of the screening of a programme he made investigating surgical methods of hair replacement.




Stars across the UK from local actor Jimmy Nesbitt to footballer Wayne Rooney have all had hair transplants, and while Gerry Anderson may not initially appear like he needs it with his distinctive mane, listeners to his Radio Ulster programme will be familiar with his concerns.

Gerry said the whole concept of hair transplants has long fascinated him.

€œI remember years ago it used to be that no matter how much money you had, you couldn €™t do anything about no hair, like Elton John, € he said.

€œBut now anyone can do it, it €™s foolproof.

€œThe technology is just amazing, all the different approaches. €

Gerry has a made a programme following his investigations into all types of hair replacement techniques.

As part of the documentary which will be shown on BBC One on Tuesday, September 18, Gerry has visited chemists who have offered various hair care products, and also investigated traditional wisdom exploring some old wives tales and folk remedies, but came to the conclusion that surgery is the only thing that works.

As part of the programme Gerry visits a Dublin surgeon who is one of the world €™s leading authorities in hair transplants, and who is also the man responsible for actor Jimmy Nesbitt €™s new hairline.

He also travels to the US and visits people as diverse as a beauty queen with alopecia and the man who made Sinatra €™s wigs.

€œIt is a wonderful thing [hair replacement surgery], there is a whole psychological thing about it, especially for people who have been injured or burned, € he said.

Gerry also added that while women don €™t seem to mind how much or little hair a man has, it means a lot more to the man himself.

There are currently 7.6 million men in the UK who suffer from some form of hair loss.

Gerry said he first noticed his hair thinning when he was just 25.

€œEveryone notices it, but especially men as it seems to be associated with virility €“ people think they are less of a man which there is absolutely no justification for, € he said.

On the other hand while men may mind losing their hair Gerry claimed men love going grey: €œThey think it makes them look distinguished. €

l Gerry Anderson €™s Losing It will be shown on BBC One Northern Ireland on Tuesday, September 18 at 10.35pm.

Good programme but I didn't like the female commentators tone, she spoke in an over sympathetic tone as though hair loss sufferers were all dying in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing.
