Brent’s hair of content

WHEN Hairscience phoned and offered a free touch-up Brent Guerra said “Yeah, Yeah” After several years of putting up with the premature balding, Guerra is now showing off the result of his cosmetic follicle therapy. “I jumped at the opportunity. It makes me look younger,” Guerra said yesterday.’ Tipped to be selected by Hawthorn in the pre-season draft, Guerra had been sporting the new head of hair at training at Glenferrie Oval this week. The treatment is finished and Guerra couldn’t be happier- even some of his former St Kilda teammates have struggled to notice the difference. “A couple of them have said, “There’s something different, what is it? “I Just pointed to that hair and said “That’s it mate”.” Guerra is commonly known as “Goo among his mates, but has also copped the “ManChild” nickname for looking more like 33 than 23. Now he gets to look at his age, with some already saying he looks like Alan Didak’s long lost brother. Guerra, delisted by the Saints at the end of the season, is chasing a third chance after starting his career at Port Adelaide. Speculation is rife Hawthorn will take Guerra in the December 13 draft.

Hair Pursuit
Herald Sun, Saturday, April 18, 2009

NORTH Melbourne giant David Hale has had a makeover ahead of this wedding later this year. The 26-year-old revealed he recently had a hair transplant in a bid to enhance his curly locks. “I’d been copping it a bit from some of the boys at the club for losing my hair, so, I thought it was a good opportunity” Hale said. “Now I’m getting picked on a bit for having the treatment done. But footy clubs are like that, and at least now I’ll have a full head of hair.” Hale was offered the treatment by Melbourne-based company Hairscience. “They approached me and I just thought it was a good opportunity,” Hale said. “The head’s looking pretty good now.” Hale’s treatment, cosmetic follicle therapy, involved replicating his own hair and attaching it to the balding areas with a skin-grafting procedure. “It didn’t hurt, I didn’t really feel much at all,” Hale said. “It’s like going to the hairdressers, except my haircuts usually take five minutes and this took about 2 hours.” Hale is following the footsteps of Hawthorn player Brent Guerra, who had a hair treatment at Hairscience in 2005.

WATCH out G-Train, you’re next. After the success with Fraser Gehrig’s former teammate Brent Guerra, Hairscience hopes the Saints full-forward may also be interested in putting some back on top. But the list doesn’t stop with Gehrig... Melbourne captain David Neitz, Sydney’s Barry Hall, Umpire Scott McLaren, And Wayne Carey are other footy people lacking action up top. Hairscience’s director Steve Sindiris says most people who take his Melbourne clinic’s treatment see results in six or seven weeks and hopes Gerhig will be interested in the program.
