Julian, Eliot, and Ryan Gregory, all 40, are scheduled to visit the same clinic today, Tuesday, May 13, for an identical procedure. This decision comes as the brothers have all experienced similar rates of hair loss due to their shared genetics and are now set to undergo a procedure at HQ Hair Transplants in Cardiff, where follicular units will be removed individually using a precise motorised punch. The clinic says "great care is taken with the grafts" before they are prepared for implantation into the triplets. Born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, brothers Julian, Eliot, and Ryan embarked on careers in modelling and acting. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here. However, they've said they've felt "less identical" as they've aged, primarily due to their receding hairlines which began in their thirties. Julian, now living in London, said: "We grew up being identical and the older we have got we feel the less identical we are getting.

Ryan, who also lives in London, said: "I think our hopes for the procedure is if we could roll back the years a bit. We have been together since we were in the womb and we always compare bits to each other like who has the most hair, who has got the biggest muscles and all the rest of it. "We have always been quite competitive so I think if we can realign the playing field a little bit and realign the hairline." Ryan admitted he started the search for the procedure when he started feeling insecure about his thinning hair. He said: "I have been wanting a hair transplant for probably ten years. I always said to people if there was anything I would pay for that was going to be cosmetic it would be a hair transplant. It has always been my most insecure bit of my body." HQ Hair Transplants in Cardiff has been running for five years (Image: WALES NEWS SERVICE ) The twins, who appeared on Cilla Black's Blind Date at the tender age of 18 and later featured in GQ magazine and Esquire, succeeded in persuading Elliot to join them for the procedure. Elliot, now based in Valencia, said: "Since my brothers have mentioned about the hair situation I have been looking at it a bit more and thought ok maybe I am ready to get the hair transplant done. I am looking forward to getting a fuller hairline." The clinic HQ Hair Transplants is operated and owned by ex-New Zealand All Blacks and Cardiff Blues rugby ace Xavier Rush. A spokesperson for the clinic said: "We are super excited to perform what is thought to be the World's first Identical Triplet Hair transplant on all three brothers."

World's first triple hair transplant to be carried out on identical triplets
The balding triplets are hoping to roll back the years and will go under the knife today after they all experienced hair loss at the same rate due to their shared genetics as identical triplets Three identical brothers who once appeared on Cilla Black's Blind Date are set to undergo the world's first triplet hair transplant after they lost their hair around the same time due to their shared genetics. Julian, Eliot, and Ryan Gregory, 40, are set to travel to the same clinic to undergo an identical procedure. It comes after the brothers all experienced hair loss at the same rate due to their genetics as identical triplets. They will now have follicular units removed one by one by using a precise motorised punch at HQ Hair Transplants in Cardiff. The clinic says "great care is taken with the grafts" before they are trimmed ready for implantation on the triplets. Brothers Julian, Eliot, and Ryan were born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, before going on to launch careers in modelling and acting. But they say they have started to feel "less identical" as they have grown older due to their receding hairlines that began in their thirties. Julian, who lives in London, said: "We grew up being identical and the older we have got we feel the less identical we are getting. So if we can have more similar hairlines again it would be nice to see the reaction of other people and feel more identical again. " The three men grew up playing pranks and carrying out identity swaps - and are now set to have their transplants together.

I always said to people if there was anything I would pay for that was going to be cosmetic it would be a hair transplant. It has always been my most insecure bit of my body." The brothers, who appeared on Cilla Black's Blind date at just 18-years-old and featured in GQ magazine and Esquire, managed to convince Elliot to join them for the procedure.
