What happens when a hair transplant doesn't go to plan?
Dom is a 32 year old electrician, who lives in a van in Scotland.
He shares his story about his hair loss journey, including dealing with the side effects of medication, disappointing hair transplant results, and why it's important to consider all your options and get lots of expert advice before making a decision.
Dom shares how his confidence was low, so he looked to hair transplants as a way to resolve this. When it didn't give him the result he wanted, it made him reflect on his motivation for his decision.
Dom now wears a hair system, and is very open about this on his social media. He says he is much happier now and shares his experience to help others.

How advances in science can improve hair recovery in chemotherapy
Dr Nik Georgopoulos is a highly experienced scientist, cell biologist & molecular biologist. He has a degree in biochemistry & genetics from Leeds University & a PHD.
Dr Georgopoulis has studied viruses and how they cause cancer. He looks at what happens when things go wrong. As cancer can affect 1 in 2 people, he looks to try to understand how cancer happens.
Nik describes cancer as like a wound that will not stop healing. We discuss the effect that chemotherapy treatment has on the rapidly proliferating cells of the body, including the hair follicles.
Scalp cooling can prevent the chemotherapy drugs from entering the keratinocytes, and the hair matrix. Cold cap can help to eliminate the risk of permanent alopecia (PCIA) with certain treatments.
Nik has been involved in the development of anti-oxidants that utilises nanotechnology, which can be applied to increase the effectiveness of scalp cooling and help to support the hair during treatment.

Trend Predictions ~ What to expect for 2026
Callum the 'Hair King' has always been very creative, used to dress up in childhood and wear wigs. He began working in a salon and loved it.
He was sent on a curly hair course and really enjoyed it, and specialises in curls.
Callum believes further education and keeping up to date with the latest trends & techniques is really important. We discuss why it's important to be able to meet the needs of your community and be able to service all of your clients.
Keeping up to date is key, and looking to the future helps to elevate your work, looking at trend predictions and what will come next helps you to keep ahead of the game and be prepared for what clients will come and ask for in the future.
Callum shares the big trends that are emerging for the year ahead, including 'glossing' treatments, clients will be looking for their hair to be super shiny, the latest colour trends and pantones, and the potential problems this could cause for clients and stylists.
We look at why consumer education and critical thinking are key going forward, and the importance of seeking advice from qualified professionals, rather than influencers or tiktok trends.
Scalp care will also be a big focus in 2026, and so we need to make sure clients are getting safe and accurate information.
