You know there are about 100,000 hairs on a normal healthy brown haired head.

I dislike it when people cannot accept the way they look and go to surgery in order to change it.

I find a hair transplant different to lets say a nose job or face lift. Would you undergo a hairtransplant if you were balding and had 100 000 000 on your bank account?

Rafa decided to have a hair transplant? Good for him. I am fine with him keeping it as it is, or getting the surgery, or shaving it. Does not matter to me, as long as he is happy with his decision, so am I.

Looks like a sign of decadence to me. Romans were wearing wigs when the barbarians were at the door. The attitude also ties in nicely with the theory that Nadal is a superstitious control-freak who needs things to have an appearance of immutability for him to perform.

These are not your average joe's. Rafa's looks are very important given how much he models.

Don't agree with this treatment or any surgical beauty treatment.

Always risks with a surgical procedure,not to mention the later side effects.

Beauty is on the inside,and anyway,the unnatural look - well it doesn't do it for me.

Rafa is a sex symbol, an underwear model. In other words, he's not you. And Just because someone is beautiful outside doesn't mean that he's not also beautiful inside. :rolleyes:

Yeap called it! Hope it works out for him. His hair-do looked ridiculous past few years. Need the 2006 locks back. Although with what I've read, the transplanted hairs take a long time to grow and develop.

If Rafa is happy having a hair transplant then it's not for anyone to disapprove. I'm looking forward to seeing him in AbuDhabi and I will send pictures of the progress of his hair, especially for his secret fans.

Are you implying Nadal has fans who keep his secrets or fans who are secretive about being his fan?

That is too bad. I was hoping that he would go for the fully bald look. Been better for tennis I think. Tennis could really use a real macho personality superstar.

I don't get it when someone feels uncomfortable without hair or something. Its almost exclusively important for looks only; why care so much you'd want to undergo a not too pleasant operation, unless being perceived as good-looking were essential for your job? - and it isn't for a tennis player.
As I said in a different thread, I'd likely be balding by 40, and I'm not bothered by the prospect. My father has grown mostly bald, it has no effect on who he is. Why is someone like Nadal unhappy about going bald? That doesn't make sense to me.

I agree with your view on the idea of having such a transplant but then again, I don't think it makes one shallow. If you are not comfortable with your hair-loss and it is bugging you for whatever reason and you have the resources for it, then you should just go ahead and have the transplant.

I get your point, but I also get why some young men and, especially, women with alopecia would want to have a hair transplant. Let's not fool ourselves. Today's society cares too much about looks (it's not right, but it is what it is) and knowing you're not perceived to have the usual appearance for your age/sex may have some serious phycological implications. If a simple hair transplant is what people need to feel good about themselves, then have one by all means.

A star may not be bald? Isn't that superficial, shallow? Why would Nadal agree with such a shallow concept?

Why is it any different from other material purchases which makes you feel good about yourself or are perceived to elevate your status e.g a watch, car a well cut suit etc?
