Mo Salah Hair Transplant: Are The Rumours True?
Mohamed Salah entered the Egyptian national team training camp with a buzz cut.
Salah’s lack of his trademark afro hair stunned Liverpool fans, who have grown so fond of it.
Mo Salah hair transplant rumours quickly started circulating in the media, as fans began to wonder about the motive behind Salah’s move.
So what is the truth?
Today we will break down the facts behind the speculation, and give you a complete breakdown of Salah’s fresh cut.
Did Mo Salah have a hair transplant?
Mo Salah has been struggling with hair loss for a while now, and his new look certainly suggests that he may have had a hair transplant.
We find further proof of this by looking at Salah’s recent post on Instagram where he appears to have a fuller hairline.
This photo is in stark contrast to what we’re used to, as his temples seem to be almost filled up.
Salah has been struggling with his receding hairline for years, which made him an easy target for online trolls.

His condition undoubtedly reached a boiling point and he finally decided to take matters into his own hands this offseason.
Based on the available evidence, it seems that Salah had roughly 1500-1800 grafts implanted into his temples.
It’s also clear that the implanted area is quite fresh, so his hair transplant must be recent, possibly just a few weeks old.
When we look at the most up-to-date pictures from the Egyptian camp it’s easy to see that the implanted hairs started to fall out.
This indicates that Mohamed Salah is likely to see some new growth in a matter of months.
We’ll have to wait another 12 to 15 months to see the final results of the Mo Salah hair transplant.
Which technique was used for the Mo Salah hair transplant?
It’s safe to assume that Mo Salah had a FUE hair transplant.
Thanks to his buzzcut we can easily see his entire scalp, and there are no signs of linear scarring.
Additionally, his temples have very faint hair growth, with new follicles appearing much weaker than the ones surrounding them.
These signs are consistent with an FUE hair transplant, which is just a few weeks old at this point.
Regardless, hair transplant Salah looks ready for the new premier league season.

The uncertainty regarding Salah’s future has already caused a lot of chatter around the Egypitian.
