A leading hair transplant surgeon is adamant that Prince William will be completely bald on the top of his head by the time he is 40

Dr. Asim Shahmalak, who carried out a hair transplant on Dr. Christian Jessen from Channel 4′s Embarrassing Bodies, said that Prince William, 30, would be completely bald on the top of his head by the age of 40 if he didn’t take action.

“That is a strong family gene. There is a strong likelihood that any male child he has with Kate will also have this bald gene – though a further consideration will be hair genes on Kate’s side of the family.

“Prince William has quite fine light brown hair. To restore the hair on the top of his head to a reasonable level of density, he will need at least 3,000 or 4,000 hair grafts where hair is taken from the back of the scalp and moved to the top of the head. This is similar to the treatment which Wayne Rooney had.”

Propecia is the only licensed hair loss tablet in the world which keeps existing hair.

Propecia active ingredient is also used to treat BPH (benign prostate hypertrophy).

Justin Bieber told British magazine Rollacoaster: “I mean, there are things to prevent that nowadays, like Propecia.”

The pop idol went on: “I don’t know why he doesn’t just get those things, those products. You just take Propecia and your hair grows back. Have you not got it over here?”
