ts’ end. Then 10 Years ad virtually no hair at the front and I was amazed by her transforma­tion thanks to Lucinda Ellery, one of the country’s leading figures in hair loss management.

Neil suggested that I looked into it too. So I booked an appointmen­t and together we went to see Lucinda.

She sat us down and explained all about the mesh-based Intralace system, where a fine mesh is put on your scalp.

Your existing hair is pulled through it and then more hair is attached to the mesh – with incredible results.

It wasn’t cheap and I wanted to try other, less invasive options first, so I tried Fullmore Coloured Hair Thickener.

It’s a bit like spray-on make-up for your scalp to give the appearance of more hair and it worked well for a couple of years, but I couldn’t touch my hair and if the weather was hot the product would drip down my face and neck.

So in 2014, in the run-up to my daughter Katie’s wedding, I went back to Lucinda and said I wanted to try the Intralace system.

The next week I spent the entire day getting it fitted – it was incredible how you couldn’t see the mesh at all and how I was instantly transforme­d. It cost me £2,300 and every six weeks I go back to have the mesh tightened and my hair cut, which costs £90 a time. But I have never looked back.

I regularly get compliment­s on my hair from strangers, which you can’t put a price on.
