Love Island’s newest star, Harry Cooksley, may have made his debut this week with a full head of hair, but the 30-year-old semi-professional footballer and Guildford native has revealed that wasn’t always the case.
Harry underwent a hair transplant at age 24 to address early hair thinning—opting to travel to Istanbul, Turkey, for the procedure at renowned clinic EstePera.
In a recently resurfaced YouTube video posted by the clinic, Harry walks viewers through his hair restoration journey, sharing before-and-after footage of his transformation.
“It was a perfect experience for something that I really wanted to have done,” Harry said in the video. “I’m very glad that I found EstePera.”
The video highlights the full scope of the transplant, including consultations, the procedure itself, and the impressive final results. Harry’s thick, styled hair has since become one of his standout features—something fans immediately noticed when he stepped into the Love Island villa this week.
Hair Transplants Gaining Popularity Among Young Men
Harry Cooksley’s openness about his hair transplant comes at a time when more men in their 20s and 30s are seeking solutions for early-onset hair loss. Clinics in Turkey, especially in cities like Istanbul and Antalya, are global hotspots for affordable, high-quality procedures.
With rising demand and social media transparency, hair transplants have shed their stigma, becoming an increasingly mainstream option for men—especially those in the public eye.
Love Island Drama: Harry Caught in First Week Shake-Up
Harry’s hair isn’t the only thing turning heads in the villa. Just days into the new season, he found himself at the center of the first recoupling twist. Contestant Shakira Khan chose Harry over fellow islanders Blu Chegini and Conor Phillips—sending Sophie Lee home in a shock early exit.
Fans speculated that Shakira’s decision was a strategic one, possibly made to save Helena Ford, who is coupled up with Conor.
“Shakira well wanted to pick Conor but didn’t wanna send Helena home and for that I kinda respect it,” one fan tweeted.
Another added: “No way she picked Harry for any reason other than she wanted the other women to stay… I simply don’t believe it.”
As tensions rise and alliances shift, viewers are eager to see how Harry’s role in the villa unfolds.
