Love Island's Harry Cooksley had a hair transplant before the show: Before and after pictures
Love Island season 12 is only just getting started – and so are the social media sleuths, digging out new information about the contestants with every episode that passes. Most recently, Harry Cooksley (aka, the Tom Clare look-alike) has been the centre of attention with pre-villa videos of his hair transplant resurfacing. The semi-pro footballer has been turning heads with his iconic mullet and cheeky charm, but before he was the villa's heartthrob, Harry underwent a major hair transformation. At just 24, he jetted off to Turkey for a hair transplant, and now, at 30, he's flaunting a full head of hair and a confidence boost to match. In a throwback video from 2018, Harry shared his journey at the EstePera clinic in Istanbul. He described the procedure as "the perfect experience" and praised the clinic's team for their professionalism. The video was originally shared on YouTube, but clips have since been reposted on TikTok. The before and after transformation was so dramatic that fans were left in awe. One viewer commented, "the before pic 😭," while others have praised the 30-year-old for his transparency. Read a select few comments below: Fast forward to 2025, and Harry's hair is thicker, healthier, and styled to perfection. (That is, in my mullet-loving opinion, ofc.) But it's not just about Harry's hair; his journey goes beyond aesthetics. The transformation is a testament to his commitment to self-care and confidence, as well as changing attitudes towards men's grooming and self-image. So, whether you're team mullet or team buzzcut, remember: it's all about owning your look and feeling good while doing it. Follow Lia on Instagram.

Love Island boys unrecognisable before hair transplants in before and after pics
The series 12 Love Island stars are beginning their fame journey - but two of the boys hard to recognise in pre-villa pics before undergoing hair transplants Love Island stars Ben Holbrough and Harry Cooksley look unrecognisable in pre-villa pics, as both have revealed they've undergone a hair transplant. Ben, 23, underwent the treatment at the age of 22, just one year before heading into the Love Island villa, while 30-year-old Harry travelled to Turkey to have the procedure at 24. Both Islanders have played a huge part in the shows drama this series, despite only being in the villa for a matter of days. On the first night, Ben, who was coupled up with Shakira, was stolen by American bombshell Toni. This left Shakira with just 24 hours to form a connection with another Islander. She struck up a connection with Harry, who was originally coupled up with Sophie - who was brutally dumped from the villa on day 2. However, Shakira and Toni may struggle to recognise their partners in pics before their hair transplants. Before and after results for Ben can be seen in a video posted by 360 Hair Clinic, in Brighton. Before his appearance in the villa, the clinic posted a video of his journey explaining: "Ben's hair transplant journey was facilitated by us at 360 Hair Clinic, supported by our ongoing treatment plans and 360 Optimum Hair products to maintain thickness, strength, and natural-looking results." In a separate post, the clinic posted a six month update, in which Ben's dark hair could be seen getting thicker and fuller. "And as you can see on your screens watching Love Island, Ben's hair is looking better than ever," the clinic wrote. Harry on the other hand, travelled to Turkey around six years ago for his operation - which he called the "perfect experience." In a YouTube video from the clinic documenting his journey, the star said: 'It was a perfect experience for something that I really wanted to have done and I'm very glad that I found EstePera.' Showing off the before and after results, Harry looked completely unrecognisable with no hair. It looks like it's set to be another dramatic night for Harry tonight as he finds out Blu and Shakira shared a kiss. It's Dejon who spills the tea, as he tells his friend: 'You know he (Blu) kissed her (Shakira)?' A shocked Harry then replies: 'No he didn't…I don't believe what I'm hearing.' Harry then asks Shakira about the kiss with Blu before telling her: 'All that matters is I want to pursue things with you.'
