Corrie’s Alan Halsall has taken to Instagram to show off the results of his second successful hair transplant
Alan opened up about his decision to go under the knife again yesterday, insisting that hair loss was “not something to be ashamed of” and that he’d encountered plenty of other men “who have confidence issues etc because of [losing] their hair”.
And now the actor, who has played mechanic Tyrone Dobbs on Coronation Street for more than two decades, has updated his fans with the results.
“Thanks for all your lovely messages, everything went well and I feel great aside from looking like a naughty 90’s pop star,” he wrote, alongside a picture of him post op with the sides of his head clean shaven and a tousled sprout of hair on top.
Alan had his first hair transplant in 2016, and since then has undergone quite the transformation, shedding some extra pounds to reveal a slimmer, healthier physique last year.
Fans were stunned when he shared a picture of himself and co-star Samia Longchambon celebrating her birthday last summer, with many commenting on his weight loss.
