PREMIER LEAGUE cult hero Ahmed Elmohamady has enjoyed a remarkable transformation after undergoing a hair transplant.
The former Aston Villa star followed the likes of Wayne Rooney in undergoing a hair transplant procedure.
Elmohamady had the procedure at DHI Global’s central London clinic.
And almost a year on, the 38-year-old has now revealed the fruits of the operation.
Pictures from then to now show the 92-cap Egypt star with a much more filled head of hair.
He said: “I feel five years younger. It looks so natural – I feel like a different man

“I can wear my hair in a totally different way. Before I was always trying to cover up my baldness and wearing a cap because it looked a bit of a mess.
“Now I just wash my hair, style it and go – I have so much more confidence.
“I have a very public role as a global ambassador for Aston Villa and do a lot of TV work and it is important that I look good.
“Before I was self-conscious about my hair and aware of how thin it was and that really affected my confidence.

“I have got my hair back now and it feels fantastic. I can do my job with renewed confidence and know that my hair looks good. I feel five years younger.
“It is almost ten months since I had my hair transplant done. You can really see the difference now but I won’t get the full effects until after a year – so I should look even better by Christmas.”
Elmohamady, who made 197 Premier League appearances for Sunderland, Hull and Aston Villa between 2010 and 2021, added that he would recommend the procedure to close pal and international team-mate Mohamed Salah.
He added: “I am very close to Mo because we grew up near each other in Egypt.
“I will be seeing Mo when Aston Villa play Liverpool in November and I will mention DHI and how pleased I am with my hair.”
Elmohamady, who retired in 2021, revealed he had been inspired to undergo the procedure after seeing Wayne Bridge undergo the same operation.
He said: “I saw Wayne after his hair had grown back and he looked fantastic. The procedure had covered up his baldness in the same way as me.
“You read about patients going abroad for hair transplants but that was never going to be an option for me.

“The best clinics in the world are here and it is reassuring to know that the team is next to Harley Street for the aftercare. Who wants to jump on a flight to check on their hair if something goes wrong?”
DHI have also worked with former England cricketer Phil Tufnell.
