Chanelle Hayes reveals the results of her hair transplant in Manchester

Chanelle Hayes has revealed she’s undergone a hair transplant, as she shared a glimpse of her transformation on Friday.

The Big Brother star, 32, shared a glimpse of her new hairline as she exited the Farjo Hair Institute in Manchester after spending 12 hours undergoing the procedure.

In 2016 Chanelle revealed that years of yo-yo dieting had left her hair looking ‘thin and horrendous,’ and admitted she’d done ‘lasting damage’ through years of trying to shift the pounds.

Chanelle displayed her new hairline as she left the clinic following the procedure, which involves hair follicles being removed one by one from the donor area and then placed onto a new site through small incisions.

The mother-of-two cut a casual figure in a khaki green tracksuit as she headed out of the clinic.

Chanelle was in high spirits as she proudly displayed the results of her operation to a male companion who supported her as she made her way home to recover.

Chanelle has been on a health kick since last year, when she revealed she had increase a dress size after eating badly for six weeks, and also from the challenges of becoming a mum.

Last year she lost three stone after ‘putting in a lot of effort and hard work’.

The star, who first shot to fame in 2007 as a feisty 19-year-old contestant on Big Brother, regularly posts Instagram updates documenting her fitness regime. 

Her latest comparison snap was shared back in November last year and showed a before and after of the reality star since losing three stone. 

The left hand side photo showed Chanelle in a pink bikini stroll out of the sea while the right hand pic showed her look more confident and slimmed down in a one-piece costume.

She captioned the comparison pic: ‘Maybe your “happy weight” isn’t that small number / dress size you keep promising yourself you’ll get to. Maybe it’s the place where you feel healthy but allow yourself what you want when you want it.

‘I don’t think I will ever get to a size 10 again, my lifestyle just doesn’t seem to allow it anymore. I’ve taken so much criticism over my weight during my time in the public eye. I’ve actually got no idea why people are actually interested in it.’

She continued the inspirational post: ‘Why do we let our size and weight define us?? My focus is now on my health, whatever comes with that is a bonus. 

‘In my mind I will always want to attain the unattainable size 10, but in reality: I’m an active, health conscious, cookie eating, pizza devouring, gym loving mum of two who eats the leftovers from my toddlers plate, meets up with my friends for coffee and cake, drinks wine to make my week seem shorter and is a size 14. And that is ok.’
