From Turkey transplant trips to robots, balding men are getting their hair back using trendy restoration hacks — and they’re not ashamed to talk about it
NY Post
Steve Kinyon always dreamed of sporting long, luscious locks like Thor — Marvel’s hair-and-hammer-swinging god of thunder, played by Chris Hemsworth.
But rather than revering him as a fictional deity, Kinyon’s chums back in high school crowned him the “balding virgin,” owing to his early signs of male-pattern baldness.
Years after being forced to endure their heckling, the 34-year-old decided to do something about it. But instead of seeking revenge, he got on a plane and flew to Turkey — for a $5,000 hair transplant.
“I’m pretty confident,” Kinyon, a married dad of two, tells The Post. “But having longer, fuller hair adds an extra boost.”
The tress-seeking traveler is one in a growing army of guys opting for both invasive and noninvasive cosmetic hair restoration treatments — in the battle against chrome domes.
It’s a condition that affects 85% of men by age 50, according to the American Hair Loss Association. Two-thirds of US gents experience noticeable shedding by age 35 — while 25% of fellas say so long to their strands before age 21.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
