Haircare

LOVE Island’s Ty Isherwood has revealed he has undergone a hair transplant.

The reality star, 24, who rose to fame on the show last year, took to Instagram following the surgery to show his bandaged head.

Filming himself the day after undergoing the procedure, Ty admitted that despite covering it well, hair loss is something that has impacted his confidence for years.

Dressed in a grey hoodie and bandaged up, Ty told the camera: “For me, this has been something that has played in the back of my mind for a long time now.

“I’ve managed to keep it under wraps pretty well, I’ve always had a fringe since I was younger and It has always hidden it.

“I noticed it started slowly receding when I was about 19/20 and it has slowly gone back ever since.”

Ty, who is in a relationship with Love Island co-star Angel Swift after meeting on the show, said he had been taking hair growth medication such as Minoxidil for the last three years.

But in search of a long term solution, he opted to undergo the transplant for his hairline.

Admitting it all went fairly smooth, Ty continued: “The transplant itself took about 6 and a half hours, it was completely pain free.

“The only thing I didn’t like was the local anesthetic in the donor at the back. I’m not gonna sugarcoat that, it wasn’t very nice. But, once you’re over that, the rest of it was fine.

“For men, I think that losing your hair is a tough pill to swallow. For me, it was, I think it has affected my confidence for a couple of years. I’ve not been able to go about my day without actually thinking what my hair looks like.”

Urging his male followers to take the plunge if they are considering a transplant, Ty then said: “I wish I’d had it done sooner, I think it’d have put my mind at ease. I just feel so much more relieved now it’s done.”

Posting the clip to his 159K followers, Ty thanked Manchester-based clinic KSL for carrying out the transplant on him.

His girlfriend and Love Island co-star Angel took to the comment section to show her support as she wrote: “Proud of you my handsome boy”.

Other show alumni such as Wil Anderson, Giorgio Russo and Harry Cooksley also supported Ty in the comments.

Angel went along with Ty for the procedure, with the reality star revealing the couple were up at 6AM to drive to the clinic together.

DYSON has brought out the latest new hairdryer to revolutionise the market – and it’s perfect for travellers.

But what is it really like to use? I tested it out on a recent holiday abroad to see if it’s really worth the hype.

Dyson Supersonic Travel Hair Dryer, £249 (with free £45 travel bag)

The new Dyson hairdryer is 25 per cent lighter, weighing just 0.33 kg (331 grams) compared to as much as 0.82 kg of the larger hairdryers.

As someone with very thick and very long hair, drying my own can be extremely laborious and time consuming.

So where better to try out the new travel version of Dyson’s much-loved hairdryer on a recent trip abroad?

First up I was impressed how small it was to fit in my suitcase, being not much bigger than a water bottle.

It is 32 per cent smaller than its standard hairdryer, being just 22cm compared to 28cm in length.

It’s also light, with a shorter 2m cord – meaning it kept my luggage weight low, as well as the added benefit of less arm ache when drying my hair.

Another tick in its favour is that it’s voltage automatically adapts to whichever country you are in, so it works in full no matter where you are.

But I was insanely impressed with how fast it dried my hair.

There are three different heats – low, medium and high – and two speed settings.

I tested it out on my just-out-the-shower hair meaning it was soaking wet.

Usually I have to let this dry for at least 20 minutes before even attempting to dry it.

And the Dyson on its hottest setting dried my hair almost completely in about three minutes.

Another two and it would definitely have been fully dry.

it also comes with a detachable styling concentrator which – very satisfyingly – clips on by magnet.

It made my hair feel much softer than I’d expected (often feeling pretty ratty and dry using the budget hotel hairdryers).

I didn’t believe a hair dryer could actually dry hair that quickly, and while it might be a bit crazy to call it life changing, it’s something I’ve been raving about my friends to for weeks since.

It is also cheaper than the current full size Dyson hairdryer at £399, or the original at £279.

It currently comes in “ceramic pink” colour, with a complimentary £45 travel bag if you buy directly with Dyson.
