Lee Mead has shown off his new hair following a hair transplant earlier this year.
The 42-year-old actor and stage star shocked fans in January when he shaved off his famously curly locks to undergo a hair transplant at a clinic in Istanbul, Turkey.
And on Wednesday, seven months after the operation, Lee took to social media to show off his healthy-looking hair, revealing that he had used curls to hide the “completely bald” spot in the middle of his head.
Lee also admitted that while there’s nothing wrong with being bald, he’s “not ready” for the look just yet.
He captioned the post: “I still can’t believe that back in January/early this year before I had my transplant I was completely bald in the middle of my head.”

“Everyone has their own decision to make. Do what you want. I think it’s lovely either way. And this is what works for you,” a fourth fan wrote.

Hair: Seven months after his surgery, Lee took to social media on Wednesday to say he was hiding the “completely bald” spot in the middle of his head with curls of hair.
Feedback: Commenting on his photo, fans on Twitter were quick to share their support for his decision, offering words of praise and encouragement.
Denise Van Outen’s ex-husband Lee appeared on This Morning and revealed that he had the procedure done “for personal confidence”.
Lee added that she first underwent hair loss treatment about 15 years ago and this is her second time undergoing the procedure.
“My first surgery was an FUT procedure (follicular unit transplant) 15 years ago, but nobody knew about it. Then I had another surgery,” he explained.
“There’s nothing wrong with being bald, but my baldness is receding and it’s made me feel a bit less confident.”
“It’s a matter of personal confidence”: In February, Lee appeared on live TV to show off the stunning results of his recent hair transplant.
Regrowth: On the show, his hair appeared to be regrowing, fuller and thicker.
Confident: Lee looked confident and happy as he showed off his results.
“There’s nothing wrong with being bald, but my hair is thinning and it’s making me feel a bit less confident,” he said.
“Robbie Williams wanted it but his hair was thinning so I thought I’d better do it quickly.”
He added: “It’s a matter of personal confidence. The operation takes seven hours, you have seven hours of local anesthesia, but you can hear everything that’s going on. The team was fantastic. I was in Turkey for about four days.”
On the show, he looked confident and his hair appeared to be growing fuller and thicker.
“I haven’t seen anything backtrack or anything happen,” Alison Hammond added.
