England’s Test skipper Ben Stokes recalled his days when he was suffering from hair loss. According to him, it was the appearance of a bald patch at the age of 27, that worried him a lot and it became unbearable. Stokes then decided to go for a hair transplant.

I saw the footage of myself, and the angle would be a bird’s eye view, straight on top. I thought, ‘God, this is getting worse and worse,” he said during an interview with The Telegraph. He added that he felt lucky to be tall which can help people not notice his bald patch but as his bald patch increased, it became an agonizing experience for him.
