Rooney’s grey hair ‘perfectly normal and temporary’, says transplant clinic

Wayne Rooney’s greying hair is “perfectly normal and temporary” and is part of the post hair transplant treatment, the director of the Harley Street clinic, where the football ace got his transplant, has said.



The clinic who treated Wayne Rooney when he had his hair transplant have admitted that developing grey hair can be a common short-term side-effect of the procedure.

The Manchester United and England star reportedly spent £30,000 to get a full head of hair earlier this year in a bid to cure his baldness.

However, while it appears to have reversed his receding hairline, the footballer’s new thatch appeared to be slightly discoloured when he took to the field for Manchester United this weekend.

Now the director of the clinic where Rooney had the procedure has revealed the ‘discolouration’ may last months.

Nadeem Uddin Khan, Director of the Harley Street Hair Clinic, said: ‘It isn’t possible to judge the full effect of a transplant for at least 6-12 months. The whole process is similar to transplanting a favourite plant or shrub.

'While the roots re-establish themselves, the growth on top can be patchy and this can involve some initial loss or discolouration.'

'This is entirely normal and does not affect the ultimate outcome of a fully restored hairline featuring strong and healthy growth.'
