In the last few months, my position as one of the top 17 blogs about celebrity baldness gave me delusions of messianic grandeur, and I became a recluse with mental problems. Coincidentally, my latest post is about W.Axl Rose, the lead singer of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/entity/Guns-N-Roses/B000APVNVU/?ie=UTF8&tag=baldingcelebr-21&linkCode=ur2&qid=1328804429&camp=1634&sr=8-2-ent&creative=19450">Guns N' Roses</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aAhyWYvtzPc/TzPUrTMXHzI/AAAAAAAABC0/DlxNKpJTikQ/s512/81-axl-rose-balding-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aAhyWYvtzPc/TzPUrTMXHzI/AAAAAAAABC0/DlxNKpJTikQ/s512/81-axl-rose-balding-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />A shampoo commercial would probably describe Axl Rose's old hair as strawberry blonde, super fine and flyaway, although a cynic would probably call it thin and ginger.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RV2OuO40bTU/TzPTfKUAGSI/AAAAAAAABCM/7NdERBY09V0/s710/81-axl-rose-balding-young.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 194px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RV2OuO40bTU/TzPTfKUAGSI/AAAAAAAABCM/7NdERBY09V0/s710/81-axl-rose-balding-young.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />After the release of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000026E4I/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=baldingcelebr-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B000026E4I">The Spaghetti Incident?</a> in 1993 he withdrew from the public and became something of a hermit.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-x5DV6qJ_ST0/TzPqhDmYjPI/AAAAAAAABDM/xqemgotVmG0/s536/81-axl-rose-balding-weird-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 358px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-x5DV6qJ_ST0/TzPqhDmYjPI/AAAAAAAABDM/xqemgotVmG0/s536/81-axl-rose-balding-weird-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This mugshot is from 1998 when he was arrested for threatening an airport security guard. His hair looks alright to me here, maybe a little thin but nothing unusual for a man that age.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-e2j97_OIHJc/TzPTdfZXq1I/AAAAAAAABB0/sIhwn6Bt81c/s512/81-axl-rose-balding-1998-mugshot.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 500px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-e2j97_OIHJc/TzPTdfZXq1I/AAAAAAAABB0/sIhwn6Bt81c/s512/81-axl-rose-balding-1998-mugshot.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The early 2000s saw a few sporadic returns to the limelight, and a world tour was planned for the year 2001. This was cancelled, with some rumours suggesting this was due to a botched hair transplant Rose had undergone.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jP8lGoxhybc/TzPTdtdHpoI/AAAAAAAABBs/2Upu8or9cEg/s600/81-axl-rose-balding-2001-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jP8lGoxhybc/TzPTdtdHpoI/AAAAAAAABBs/2Upu8or9cEg/s600/81-axl-rose-balding-2001-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Whatever the true reason, when he reappeared the next year he seemed to have modelled his entire look on the fictional Predator monster, perhaps signalling the peak of his mental decline.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GJlhzV7f1ks/TzPTeDxjQeI/AAAAAAAABB4/3qVAma_czdk/s600/81-axl-rose-balding-predator-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GJlhzV7f1ks/TzPTeDxjQeI/AAAAAAAABB4/3qVAma_czdk/s600/81-axl-rose-balding-predator-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />His bloated, shiny appearance was indicative of plastic surgery. Fan forums have speculated that the bizarre cornrows he sported were an attempt to cover his baldness, or the botched hair transplant.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1d0kXasQtMw/TzPTdwgwmrI/AAAAAAAABB8/rX1ZeLvOGSE/s400/81-axl-rose-balding-bandana-fat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1d0kXasQtMw/TzPTdwgwmrI/AAAAAAAABB8/rX1ZeLvOGSE/s400/81-axl-rose-balding-bandana-fat.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />To the relief of his many fans he is looking more normal these days, although for the past few years he has been a constant hat and bandana wearer, even on stage, which is suspicious.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-v4L1KlKPobo/TzPTev-qAKI/AAAAAAAABCE/JwmOjIWvqLA/s720/81-axl-rose-balding-yellow-rio-2011.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-v4L1KlKPobo/TzPTev-qAKI/AAAAAAAABCE/JwmOjIWvqLA/s720/81-axl-rose-balding-yellow-rio-2011.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Recently though, he has finally been pictured without a hat and at first glance appears to have a completely normal head of hair - albeit one with a completely different texture to that which he used to have.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kAMMWuDJYLc/TzPTdkJ2cBI/AAAAAAAABBw/2LWFp-x2Vik/s420/81-axl-rose-balding-2010-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 363px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kAMMWuDJYLc/TzPTdkJ2cBI/AAAAAAAABBw/2LWFp-x2Vik/s420/81-axl-rose-balding-2010-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I have just realised that he turned fifty a few days ago, so let's consider this a birthday tribute to the man and his unusual, probably transplanted, hair.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZIna7BT5ucw/TzPxOQY0GeI/AAAAAAAABDg/mnobQUgT01Y/s510/81-axl-rose-balding-02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZIna7BT5ucw/TzPxOQY0GeI/AAAAAAAABDg/mnobQUgT01Y/s510/81-axl-rose-balding-02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Norwood Rating : 2</span>Balding Celebritieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588486974026773488noreply@blogger.com113tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29925295749841189.post-72746609006575459102011-08-23T12:33:00.005+01:002011-08-23T13:45:38.433+01:00David Beckham updateTabloids everywhere have been in sent into a state of onanistic frenzy over this recent picture of David Beckham, which at first glance appears to show a bald patch at the crown.
<br />
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oDK66Nea0_Y/TlOYANlrOYI/AAAAAAAABAg/hbp5y93QNE8/s512/david-beckham-bald-update-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 386px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oDK66Nea0_Y/TlOYANlrOYI/AAAAAAAABAg/hbp5y93QNE8/s512/david-beckham-bald-update-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<br />On closer inspection, it is obvious to anyone who is not a moron that this 'bald patch' is merely some form of light, reflecting off the hair on his head.
<br />
<br /><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-88i8Jf_gVP0/TlOfiyfe0AI/AAAAAAAABAw/e-zIKBSSarg/s512/beckham-balding-update-01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 348px; height: 512px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-88i8Jf_gVP0/TlOfiyfe0AI/AAAAAAAABAw/e-zIKBSSarg/s512/beckham-balding-update-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<br />You can even see in the above picture the same spot of light on the wall, where his head was seconds previously.
<br />
<br />Here is a link the the Daily Mail article I spotted this in. Don't be surprised if they later delete it through the shame of their idiocy.

<br />Sometime last year he hit the headlines when he advised a reader to "cut his ex's face, so no one else will want her" in his weekly advice column in <a href="http://www.zootoday.com/">Zoo magazine</a>.
<br />

<br />Fellow professional cockney Ray Winstone apparently tricked him into dying his hair ginger a couple of years ago. Dyer has blamed this for his hair loss.
<br />
<br />"I think I started losing my wig after that. I’m receding a bit, but it only started after I dyed it. If the worst comes to the worst, I’ll sue the c**ts at Channel 4. It’s down to them I’m losing me canister"
<br />

<br />Sadly for him though this is unlikely, and like <a href="http://www.baldingcelebrities.com/2010/01/michael-chiklis.html">Michael Chiklis</a>, he is clutching at straws in an attempt to come to terms with male pattern baldness.
<br />
<br />Dyer now sports a receding hairline, a growing bald patch at the crown, and although technically still a low norwood, looks to be diffusing in an nw5 pattern.
<br />

<br />Anyway, here is a video of him being punched by a mental thug in a pub.

I was going bald at 25 why not. I'm delighted with the result.<br />It's still a bit bruised and swollen when it dies down u will be first to see it. Anyone recommend any good hair gel. Haha<br />I had it done in Harley street hair clinic London. Thanks to all the staff who looked after me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7Yluun937cE/TeodW7siiEI/AAAAAAAAA58/rfxe-seqIf8/79-wayne-rooney-balding-transplant-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 240px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7Yluun937cE/TeodW7siiEI/AAAAAAAAA58/rfxe-seqIf8/79-wayne-rooney-balding-transplant-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I am a bit surprised by this, as I didn't think Rooney would make a good candidate for transplant surgery. He is practically a norwood 4 at the young age of 25, which usually means the balding is aggressive and will continue. Although no one can predict the future, I would hazard a guess that he would have reached a norwood 6 by the time he was 40. Various sources claimed Rooney was taking medication such as propecia too, which have unfortunately for him not seemed to have worked.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8MPRV02ANoQ/TeogXr3UFkI/AAAAAAAAA6M/55592sH_BMM/79-wayne-rooney-balding-transplant-swearing-02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8MPRV02ANoQ/TeogXr3UFkI/AAAAAAAAA6M/55592sH_BMM/79-wayne-rooney-balding-transplant-swearing-02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This means that eventually, his baldness will catch up with his transplant, leaving gaps of hair and a very odd looking result. Future operations will be necessary to counter this, which should not be a problem financially for the millionaire Rooney.<br /><br /><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gm183R7DSac/TeodW4II4iI/AAAAAAAAA6A/emUtOO1brQw/79-wayne-rooney-balding-transplant-swearing-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gm183R7DSac/TeodW4II4iI/AAAAAAAAA6A/emUtOO1brQw/79-wayne-rooney-balding-transplant-swearing-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />But he will eventually run out of donor hair, no matter how much money he has.

Here is the teenage Sneijder smouldering into the camera, blissfully unaware of the baldness that is about to afflict him.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TdLj7RlsXHI/AAAAAAAAA5I/URvtsXbQeL0/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TdLj7RlsXHI/AAAAAAAAA5I/URvtsXbQeL0/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />As you can see, he was something like a diffuse norwood 3 or 4v at the age of 25.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vyEZrYs-3Vg/TePVdLUGaLI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/mkulfwZOFRI/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vyEZrYs-3Vg/TePVdLUGaLI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/mkulfwZOFRI/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />When Sneijder suffered an injury in early December that kept him out of the game for a few weeks, he decided to cheer himself up by treating himself to a hair transplant for Christmas.<br /><br />The results are very impressive. The photo below was taken just a few weeks after the operation. The hairline recession is all but gone, although he still has a bald patch at the crown.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5PBZqfvsIqE/TePYhnBBRoI/AAAAAAAAA5o/tc0lQ-4AgFM/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-transplant-03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 505px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5PBZqfvsIqE/TePYhnBBRoI/AAAAAAAAA5o/tc0lQ-4AgFM/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-transplant-03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />What is unusual about Wesley's transplant is that it was apparently carried out using a new 'hair multiplication' technique pioneered by Dr. Gho of the <a href="http://www.hasci.com/homepage.aspx">Hair Science Institute</a>. Only part of the hair follicle is removed and implanted, leaving the rest of it in the donor area where it will grow back. The theory is that this will provide an unlimited supply of donor hair.<br /><br />The new hair has grown back remarkably quickly. Transplants often require a year of 'growing in' before results are seen, while Sneijder's looks good after only 4 months.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mn6qi7ec8C8/TePVdGTQRqI/AAAAAAAAA5g/PQtkADiv044/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-transplant-04.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 564px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mn6qi7ec8C8/TePVdGTQRqI/AAAAAAAAA5g/PQtkADiv044/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-transplant-04.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />However, Dr. Gho is seen as a somewhat controversial figure in the hair loss world and there have been doubts about the validity of his methods. If these results are a true indication of stem cell implantation, this could be the biggest step forward in transplant technology since the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_unit_extraction">FUE technique</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TQJidHqLNDw/TePVdobtytI/AAAAAAAAA5k/LzNIjKu6Mrg/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-transplant-05.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 527px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TQJidHqLNDw/TePVdobtytI/AAAAAAAAA5k/LzNIjKu6Mrg/s1600/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-transplant-05.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />While it is surely too late for Dutch international team mate <a href="http://www.baldingcelebrities.com/search/label/Arjen%20Robben">Arjen Robben</a> to save his hair, I would bet Wesley has recommended the procedure to BFF Rafael Van Der Vaart, who is also showing early signs of hairloss.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KLSiAOYJUt8/TePiWZdrmbI/AAAAAAAAA5w/W1Tt-Hj_T1U/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-robben-vdv-05.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 526px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KLSiAOYJUt8/TePiWZdrmbI/AAAAAAAAA5w/W1Tt-Hj_T1U/78-wesley-sneijder-balding-robben-vdv-05.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Norwood Rating : 2v</span>Balding Celebritieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588486974026773488noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29925295749841189.post-20154791084040168792011-05-04T16:50:00.004+01:002011-05-16T22:26:04.223+01:00Gene KellyGene Kelly brought joy to millions of old people as the star of Hollywood musicals such as <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00006L9X7/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=baldingcelebr-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00006L9X7">Singin' In The Rain</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00008AOWL/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=baldingcelebr-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00008AOWL">Les Girls</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001CP4VES/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=baldingcelebr-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B001CP4VES">An American In Paris</a>.

In his early 20s he was already well along the norwood scale, and just before he got his wig in 2008 he was at least a norwood 6.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TNr5nrOV0kI/AAAAAAAAAxM/MzFuWIs8IQE/70-doug-the-rug-bollinger-bald-01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TNr5nrOV0kI/AAAAAAAAAxM/MzFuWIs8IQE/70-doug-the-rug-bollinger-bald-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />There is a camera technology used in televised cricket matches called the 'hot spot'. It is a sort of infra red thing that shows whether the ball has hit a bat or shinpad. Sadly for Bollinger, it also clearly shows the bald area hidden under toupees as seen in this video below.<br /><br /><center><object height="325" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2T2GhXgDsGg?fs=1&hl=en_GB"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2T2GhXgDsGg?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="325" width="400"></embed></object></center><br />Here is another video of fellow cricketer Suresh Raina trying to pull off Dougs wig.

I imagine they are paying him commission or at least giving him free treatment.

Her hair appears to be unwashed and dirty, which will make already finely textured hair seem even thinner.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKS5g4X2IOI/AAAAAAAAAwM/kbvCQmvJF3I/67-mihaylov-balding-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKS5g4X2IOI/AAAAAAAAAwM/kbvCQmvJF3I/67-mihaylov-balding-01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br />
I recognised the surname and it turns out his father is former Bulgarian national goalkeeper Borislav 'Bobby' Mikhailov, who famously sported a blatant wig.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKS5glYRa4I/AAAAAAAAAwI/8FzJLAxorRM/67-borislav-mihaylov-balding-wig-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKS5glYRa4I/AAAAAAAAAwI/8FzJLAxorRM/67-borislav-mihaylov-balding-wig-01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I think he may have been connected to the hairpiece company in some way, maybe as owner. He's still wearing to this day.<br />
<br />

After a strong showing at the USA 1994 World Cup, he signed for Reading, in the second tier of English football, after mistakenly thinking they played at Wembley stadium. <br />

Anyway his son, despite letting in 4 goals, looked a fairly promising goalie and even saved a penalty from Rafael Van Der Vaart.<br />

This young man is a 24 year old footballer who recently transferred from Manchester City to Aston Villa. On his now inactive Bebo page, <a href="http://rickoshea.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/stephen-irelands-arse/">he posed in a thong</a> while referring to himself as <a href="http://www.mulley.net/2007/09/17/is-this-irish-football-international-stephen-ireland-in-a-thong-love-the-pink-dude-love-it/">'Daddy Dick'</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMhXJNs9wI/AAAAAAAAAvg/AQrALa9SpSs/66-stephen-ireland-balding-04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMhXJNs9wI/AAAAAAAAAvg/AQrALa9SpSs/66-stephen-ireland-balding-04.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
He started to experience hair loss at quite a young age and decided to do something about it. Unfortunately for him, it all went wrong in spectacular fashion. This is what he looked like just before he started treatment.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMZtCna1pI/AAAAAAAAAvA/SSG4VZPQp9c/66-stephen-ireland-balding-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMZtCna1pI/AAAAAAAAAvA/SSG4VZPQp9c/66-stephen-ireland-balding-02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Sometime around early 2007 he started wearing a hairpiece. A few people made the odd uninformed comment about 'hair plugs' but overall it went unnoticed. It wasn't until September 2007 that things took a sinister turn.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMjnUQ4aOI/AAAAAAAAAvo/kvqFHPGTksY/66-stephen-ireland-balding-wig-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMjnUQ4aOI/AAAAAAAAAvo/kvqFHPGTksY/66-stephen-ireland-balding-wig-01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Ireland withdrew from the Republic of Ireland international squad, citing the death of his Grandmother. Later that week, journalists discovered that she was in fact alive and well and surprised to read about her own death in the newspapers.<br />
Ireland then changed his story and claimed it was his other, paternal Grandmother that had died. Again, this was untrue - she also was still alive. When found out, he lied again - this time it was the partner of his Grandfather who had supposedly died.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMkfHttfrI/AAAAAAAAAvw/E9NvZDDCvrs/66-stephen-ireland-balding-07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMkfHttfrI/AAAAAAAAAvw/E9NvZDDCvrs/66-stephen-ireland-balding-07.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Ireland has since claimed the real reason for his departure from the squad was his girlfriend suffering a miscarriage. If true, this is of course tragic. But Ireland shouldn't be surprised if no one believes him.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMZtC5yIDI/AAAAAAAAAvE/J-I2tBu5ERE/66-stephen-ireland-car01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMZtC5yIDI/AAAAAAAAAvE/J-I2tBu5ERE/66-stephen-ireland-car01.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TKMkfJ-VoOI/AAAAAAAAAvs/N2jFnYpKim0/66-stephen-ireland-balding-06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>Various sources have maintained that the real reason Ireland left the squad was down to his team-mates reaction to his hairpiece. A group of them, led by Stephen Hunt, pinned him to the floor and tried to rip off his wig, revealing his hairline. The banter had turned into bullying, and the story says a lot about the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/oct/18/newsstory.sport6">mentality of professional footballers</a>. Ireland has never played for the national team since, and by summer 2008 he had ditched the wig and gone shaven headed bald.<br />
<br />

In the aftermath of this incident, rival Manchester United fans gave Ireland his own chant, to the tune of The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" :<br />
<br />
<i>"His grans not dead ,he just forgot.<br />
One week hes bald, the next hes not..<br />
He always lies, oh yes its true, <br />
Hes just a typical, f*cking blue.<br />
<br />
We all know Stephen Ireland wears a wig, Ireland wears a wig, Ireland wears a wig, </i> <i><br />
<br />
He wears a wig, he wears a wig. He wears a wig, he wears a wig" </i><br />

<br />
His trademark braids have been styled in a variety of different ways over the years. At times they would appear upright like flailing tentacles. At others he would tease them through holes in a condom-like hat, forming a kind of propeller.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TIphoxJQGJI/AAAAAAAAAug/5_A5w57gzUs/64-coolio-balding-04.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TIphoxJQGJI/AAAAAAAAAug/5_A5w57gzUs/64-coolio-balding-04.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 332px; width: 399px;" /></a><br />
<br />
He has been balding a while but always remained true to his hairstyle. The braids remain, but there is now no hair left in the middle of his head.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TJNU5M3PAeI/AAAAAAAAAuo/3a7SZhuP7-c/64-coolio-balding-tattoo.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UDIwZAxomYk/TJNU5M3PAeI/AAAAAAAAAuo/3a7SZhuP7-c/64-coolio-balding-tattoo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 200px; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
<br />
This is probably only partially down to baldness - for some reason he has recently got a tattoo on the top of his head. This in itself has been seen by some people as an attempt to distract from his hair loss. I have been trying to work out what is depicted in the tattoo but can't find a clear picture of it.<br />
<br />

<br />
A bit like <a href="http://www.baldingcelebrities.com/2010/06/terry-nutkins.html">Terry Nutkins</a> and his skullet, I can't help but admire a man who sticks his fingers up at male pattern baldness in this way, and incorporates it into part of his image.<br />
