X Factor star Jaymi Hensley has revealed the results of his secret hair transplant.
The Union J singer, who found fame on the ITV talent show in 2012, has spoken for the first time about the insecurities that led him to transform his look at the KSL Clinic in Maidstone.
The 32-year-old said: "My first memory of being on X Factor is 'your hair's too short. You're in a boyband'. George [Shelley], Josh [Cuthbert] and JJ [Hamblett] all have very thick hair. One Direction were the year before us, so that long Harry Styles hair was in for kids my age. So we started wearing extensions just to fit in.
"For me, it was never about my talent or my personality that I ever had insecurities about. It was just the way I looked. I was slightly overweight compared to the boys. I was the gay member. I had thinning hair."
Jaymi first had a hair transplant at another clinic in 2013 before opting to wear hair pieces for close to five years.
The Masked Singer fans convinced Rhino is boyband star - but do you agree?
He eventually decided to ditch wigs for good after hearing good things about KSL from friends who had been through the same procedure.
In our exclusive photos from before his surgery, Jaymi's shaved hairlines was noticeably receding.
The operation took seven-and-a-half hours, which Jaymi described as "painless", and paved the way for him to have thick and wavy locks.
He said: “I was so gobsmacked at how easy the procedure was. Definitely much more so, than my first procedure. I was watching Netflix, I felt nothing whatsoever!”
Jaymi's new hair is noticeably more luscious today than it was in his early days in the band and now rivals Harry's One Direction era locks.
The singer's partner Olly Marmon also had a hair procedure at the clinic last year for a fuller barnet having been so impressed with his spouse's results.
They were both in good hands as the clinic boasts a raft of celebrity testimonials from Jake Quickenden and Towie's James Lock to Love Island's Jack Fincham and former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Union J will hit the road in May on a UK reunion tour that celebrates 10 years as a group and the return of George back into the fold.
The group has had plenty of drama over the years with fall outs and exits, but they've resolved their issues and are stronger than ever.
Excited Jaymi said of the group's next chapter: "When we decided we would reunite I think it’s safe to say we all had worries or apprehensions, but what this year has shown us is that if you strip everything back, take it back to it roots, heal wounds rather than hiding them, life will open doors and renew that part of you that was missing!
