Embracing hair loss

Experts have been discussing Prince William’s hair loss with Express. The question of why Prince William has never done anything about his hair loss has been circulating, especially since it’s not a question of money holding him back.

Jonathon Andrew from Fudge suggested that because the Prince is constantly in the public eye, he would face too much scrutiny if he decided to have a hair transplant, stating that whatever choice the Prince makes, he will always face criticism. Andrew explained that recovering from such a procedure is lengthy and could take up to a year to see results.

The experts have praised the heir to the throne for his confidence and for embracing balding rather than fighting a potentially losing battle. Andrew said:

I respect the fact he hasn't caved under pressure and had a hair transplant - he feels confident enough to embrace his natural hair.

Dr Mittal, from Mittal Hair Clinic, said:

Prince William appears to have embraced his genetics

Why wouldn’t Prince William embrace his hair loss? In the public eye and according to science, the Prince of Wales is one of the world’s sexiest bald men.

The sexiest bald man 2021

In 2021, cosmetic surgery specialists Longevita carried out a study to discover who the ‘world’s sexiest man’ was.

Their research revealed that Prince William was described as ‘sexy’ a staggering 17.6 million times in blogs, reports and pages found in Google searches, per The Sun.

The Prince’s closest rival was boxing legend Mike Tyson, who racked up 8.8 million ‘sexy’ mentions on the net. Famous actors such as Jason Statham, Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel came third, eighth and tenth, respectively.

Many people took to social media to express their opinions and suggest who they believed was the sexiest bald man. Even fellow bald man Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took to Twitter to express his disbelief and demand a recount.

The actor wrote:

How in the cinnamon toast f*ck does this happen – when Larry David clearly has a pulse?!?!

The sexiest bald man, according to science

This year, SEO agency Reboot decided to rely on science to determine who is the ‘sexiest bald man’. Contenders included Vin Diesel, Prince William, Jason Statham, and Bruce Willis, to name a few.

The study considered facial Golden Ratio, Twitter sentiment analysis (how many times the person was described as ‘sexy’), net worth, height, and cranial shine factor (how shiny their heads are) in creating an index score of ten. Some of the results are vastly different from the first study.

After coming 10th in 2021, Vin Diesel topped Reboot’s list with an impressive score of 6.46/10.

The former ‘sexiest bald man’, Prince William, came in fifth with a score of 6.13/10. The study revealed that the Prince of Wales’s height and net worth helped boost his score.

However, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson came ninth in both studies.
