Cold feet, warm head as Nesbitt's hair makes a curious comeback
Mark Blunden1 May 2009
Actor James Nesbitt has undergone a dramatic transformation from a balding man to one with an enviable head of hair.
The 44-year-old has made no secret about his fears for his thinning thatch.But he was pictured at Sunday's Bafta TV awards with a pate-full of hair, prompting rumours of a transplant. An onlooker said: "Everyone is wondering how he's done it."
Nesbitt began losing his hair in his 20s and has said: "It's horrible going bald. Anyone who says it isn't is lying."

actually the first picture is AFTER the transplant. It takes a while for the hair to regrow and thicken after a transplant. You will see plenty of pics of Me Nesbitt with no coverage at all on most of the top.

I agree with Alan Reece of Romney Marsh; I had my Elvis hair as well; but now it’s gone.
I remember hours at the barbers; just waiting in a queue to get it cut; and the price of having it cut etc; what a waste of valuable time I used to think,
Now I just run the clippers over what is left in two minutes; and it costs me nothing.
I think god acts in peculiar ways when men get to be pensioners; and as we old males age, he knows we need food, instead of haircuts; and hey presto we can eat again; even under New Labour.
To William, London: mine started going in my mid twenties; some said to me; why don’t you get a wig etc, I laughed at that suggestion as pure vanity; I am a man not a woman; hair is there or its not; and a man is still the same man, hairy or bald.
I not only save money on haircuts and wasted time; but shampoo’s as well; not forgetting the Brylcreem either.
I personally; would sooner look like Telly Savalas or Yul Brynner, than Russell Brand, Elton John, or Alice Cooper etc.
If your woman doesn’t like your bald head; get rid of her fast, and find one that does; a vain man deserve vain woman, in my opinion.
Most women know that with a bald man; there is only one person fighting to get to the mirror and the cosmetics; and rightly so; it should be her, and not you.

It's the going that's horrible, not the gone.

It is alright for Alan Reece: he did not go bald in his twenties. If he had, then he would not be so smug.

Good luck to him I just wish he was on our screens a bit less. A lot less in fact.

Darren Nesbitt says that anyone who says it's not horrible going bald is lying. Mmm? In the 60's I had long curly hair and I loved it and now that I'm in my sixties I have a shaven bald head and I love it and I am definitely not lying!!!
