Alan Halsall will undergo his second hair transplant today after being “thrilled” with results from the first
The Coronation Streetactor – who is a right fitlord, btw – first turned to surgery in 2016 after admitting he was suffering from low self-esteem due to a receding hairline.
And yesterday he took to his Instagram stories to reveal he would be returning to the same surgeon – hair loss specialist Dr Bessam Farjo – for a second transplant.
In a live Q&A with his 128k followers, Alan was asked why he was going back under the knife for a second procedure.
"Why not?” he said.
“Since I had my first a few years ago I've spoken with so many men who have confidence issues etc because of their hair, maybe this will let some of them know they have options and people have it done all the time.
