Jett Kenny has revealed the real reason why he shaved off his golden boy locks mid-last year.
The male model and serial reality TV contestant, 31, is going bald.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Jett asked is his 71,000 followers if they could offer any advice or recommendations about hair transplants.
Jett, who is also the son of Olympic swimmer Lisa Curry and former Ironman and canoeist Grant Kelly, shaved his head in 2024 after starring on Amazing Race Australia alongside his partner Lily Brown.
'This is for anyone who has had a hair transplant, has considered having a hair transplant, or who does them,' he began the video.

'Is it possible to donate my hair for someone else?' he asked.
'Only because I'm getting sick and tired of shaving my own head every second day because when it gets to about this length, you can see where my balding is basically.'
Jett turned side-on to his phone camera and pointed to his receding hairline, which he often hides with a variety of stylish caps and beanies.
'If anyone is good enough at creating an image, can you show me what my hairline would look like if it was square?' he asked.
'Because if my hair was this length all over but it was even, I'd be happy with that.'
The Ironman surf lifesaver said he is not too 'fazed' about the prospect of recovering from a surgery, but is hoping to get a better sense of what he will look like afterwards before making any plans.
'Obviously there is a recovery in that which I'm not too fazed about, but I want to see what my hairline is like if it's square,' he said.
'Not that I want to grow my hair long again... because I'd only really want to do that Viking look again — and Lily won't want me to grow a beard,' Jett said.
The 'Viking' look Jett is referring to is one he developed during his time on the first season of SAS Australia, which aired in 2021

Jett provided a reference photo of NBA legend Michael B Jordan as his hair inspiration.
'If you'd had one, do you find your hair is straw-like or wiry?' he asked.
It looks kind of dead on a few people I've seen,' he continued in the video.
Jett also recently updated his Instagram bio to: 'Just a bald man.'
His followers were quick to find the humour in his candid confession and sent in their best attempts at writing AI prompts to see what his hair might look like after a transplant.
'Best I could do,' one friend jokingly commented after pasting a hair emoji over the top of his head.
'Chat GPT is doing me dirty,' Jett commented as he shared several renditions of his selfie with pixelated hairstyles.

In his next post, the model shared a photo of basketball legend Michael Jordon as a reference picture. 'Is looking like Michael B Jordan too much to ask?' he pondered.
Obviously, Jett was referring to the athlete's hairstyle, not his race, but AI had other ideas when asked to generate an image from the reference photo.
Jett rose to fame thanks to his famous parentage, modelling work, and appearances on Australian Ninja Warrior, Dancing With The Stars, SAS, and Amazing Race.
He debuted his relationship with Lily in 2022.
