Lisa Maffia has shared the results of her hair transplant after having the procedure a year ago to replenish the locks she ‘ruined’ with overstyling.

The So Solid Crew star, 42, told how the transplant has ‘changed her life’ after her hair began to fall out after years of scraping it back into different styles. 

Lisa posted a video montage on her Instagram page on Tuesday, showcasing a before and after look at what her hair looked like.

Lisa praised the procedure and said her hairline looks ‘lit’ after having the gruelling treatment to transform her receding tresses into much fuller-looking locks.

The procedure involves taking hair follicles from the back of the head – where hair is at its fullest and thickest – and placing them at the front of the hairline.

Speaking about how she feels after having the treatment, Lisa explained in the caption of her social media post how she has ‘no regrets’.

The first image showed the side of her head and the bloodied marks where incisions had been made into her scalp to add new follicles.

‘It’s changed my life, I ruined my hairline with my signature 90s pigtails and then hair extensions and after years of tugging my hair got thinner and thinner, just like the first image you can see here!

‘The second image is the very first day it was done right after my surgery. It’s not as painful as it looks I didn’t feel a thing!

‘The second image is just two days after surgery, it was already healing!

‘Image five is the donor area, and image six is what was going on underneath there it’s completely bored because that’s where they actually take the follicles from!

‘My damage was my hairline not the back of my head, our hair is the strongest at the back!

‘There’s so many little things you have to make sure you do to make your experience perfect but there is minimal risk in this situation!’

She then directly addressed fans as she added: ‘Feel free to DM if you’ve got any questions, girls my hairline is lit and I have no regrets, make sure you’re going to the right place so that it works as good as mine!  

Anyone that I was supposed to refer with my discount get in touch.’

WHAT IS A HAIR TRANSPLANT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? 

A hair transplant is a procedure to move hair to an area that’s thin or bald. 

A hair transplant in the UK can cost anywhere between £1,000 and £30,000, depending on the extent of hair loss, the type of procedure you have, and the quality of the clinic and its team. 

There are two main types of hair transplant.

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT, or strip method):

  • a thin strip of skin with hair is removed from the back of your head and divided into pieces, each containing 1 to 4 hairs (hair grafts)
  • the grafts are placed into tiny cuts made in the scalp
  • the site where the hairs are taken is closed with stitches
  • you’ll have a scar on the back of your head, but it should not be visible unless you have very short hair

The head does not need to be shaved – only the area where the skin is removed is trimmed.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE):

  • the back of the head is shaved
  • individual hairs are removed 1 by 1 (grafts)
  • the grafts are placed into tiny cuts made in the scalp
  • you’ll have lots of tiny scars, but they will not be very noticeable

Hair transplants usually take a day, but you should not need to stay overnight.

If a large area is being treated, you may need to have 2 or more sessions a few months apart.

Your surgeon will tell you how to look after your graft. You should be given a spray to use to help recovery and hair growth.
