Ahmed Elmohamady, 37, has proudly unveiled the results of a hair transplant.
He had 4,085 hairs implanted into the thinning areas of his scalp using the advanced Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) technique.
Elmohamady, who played for Sunderland 56 times between 2010 and 2013, had the procedure at DHI Global’s Clinic close to Harley Street.
The former Egypt captain said: “I had the hair transplant because I wanted to boost my confidence.
“I have been suffering from hair loss for the past five years and I just felt it would give me a bit of a boost to get it sorted.
“So many men are getting help with their hair and it is really no big deal.
“Obviously Wayne Rooney was the first high profile footballer to be really open about his transplant.
“I admired Wayne for going public and he looked so much better after his treatment.

“But it was another Wayne who really inspired me to get it done.
“Wayne Bridge, who I played with at Sunderland, had his transplant at the DHI Global Clinic in September.

“He is still waiting for all the new hair to grow back but he is confident that it will look good and completely natural.
“I do a lot of TV work here and in the Middle East and it is important that I look my best when I am talking about the game.
“Women improve their appearances with cosmetic surgery all the time. It is great that there is now the same acceptance with men.”
Elmohamady joined Villa in 2017 when they were battling to make it out of the Championship.
Since hanging up his boots at Villa Park in 2021, Elmohamady has started working for the club’s commercial department.
He said: “It is a great time to be a Villa fan. We won the European Cup way back in 1982 and it would be wonderful if we could conquer Europe again under Unai Emery.”
Elmohamady is a close pals with Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.
He said: “It has been wonderful to watch Mo develop as a footballer and become one of the greatest players in the world.
“I will tell him all about my hair transplant when Villa play Liverpool later in the season and how I had it at DHI.
“Mo is always changing his hair and he looks great now he has cut it short.”
