But when the former footballer, right, was snapped in Hong Kong last week, his new ’do prompted a wave of speculation.
His hair looked noticeably thicker than usual as well as being a lustrous shade of dark brown. David, 43, has kept silent on how he achieved his new look. However, fans have speculated about everything from thickening spray to a hair transplant. In our experience with men in our clinic, there is still a great deal of sensitivity and stigma that surrounds hair loss. A recent survey revealed that 80 per cent of men are more worried about losing their hair than getting old while nearly 60 per cent said, given the choice, they would rather have a full head of hair than a great sex life.
Fortunately there are more options than ever to combat hair loss, with micropigmentation – where colour is subtly tattooed on to the scalp – the most exciting new treatment.
And with increasing numbers of celebrities including James Nesbitt and Wayne Rooney being open about their hair loss and treatment, we hope in the future that going thin on top will stop being something to hide.
