Balding man unrecognisable after ‘wonderful’ transformation

A balding man has become unrecognisable after a phenomenal hair transformation left him back with a full head of healthy hair. 

Scott Westwood, known by his almost one million TikTok followers as Kazascoot, bravely opened up about his struggles with losing his hair to Rob Wood, owner of Novo Cabelo salons, claiming ‘I don’t recognise me in the mirror anymore’. 

The aspiring actor said he had been forced to shave his head for the last few years, as his hair had become unbearably thin on the top, despite his young age. 

In the video posted on TikTok, which now has over 1.8 million views, fans were shocked at the dramatic transformation, with swathes of his new admirers saying: ‘I can’t believe how handsome he looks’.

Scott said in the clip: ‘Even though I have been shaving my head for like a 10th of my life now, I still don’t recognise me without hair. 

‘And whenever I think about myself in situations it is always with a  full head of hair.’

To which Rob comforted him: ‘I am really excited for this. More importantly it is going to give you back that image that you want of yourself.’

According to Rob, the hair system can last between four to six months, but requires refitting every three to four weeks. 

Scott continued that his hair has cost him acting jobs and a chance at love. 

‘It is out of your control  losing hair and a lot of people say just shave it off and embrace it, but it has had impacts. 

‘I am an actor and I have lost jobs because of my hair. I’ve had women not want to date me because of my hair. I’ve had people looking at me and I’ve gone, oh I guess I’ll have to wear a hat today.

‘[The people who say embrace it]They’e the ones who haven’t had to deal with that everyday.’ 

The specialist barber uses real human hair to match his client specific colour, texture and style. 

Rob told MailOnline: ‘It all started 10 years ago. Where one of the girls who worked for me, her brother in law was really struggling with his mental health related to his hair loss.

‘So, I did a bit of YouTubing and research to see what was actually out there, and what we could do and that’s when I found the hair systems.’

After testing the hair system out on his colleague’s brother-in-law. Rob decided to open Novo Cabelo and specialise in treating hair loss for all ages and genders.

Reflecting on the transformations, Rob said: ‘It’s amazing. Because in one hand, I’m just doing my job, but I just love it.

‘I don’t ever get tired of it. I just I just find it’s something so simple that can really turn people’s lives around, and the way that they see themselves.

‘The way they feel inside. To be able to do that service is is such a a blessing and a real privilege to do.’

People went crazy for his transformation online, with one user saying: ‘I can’t believe how handsome he looks with hair, it’s amazing.’

Another added: ‘What a transformation! What a handsome man!’ 

A third chimed in: ‘Wow he looks years younger.’ 

While other users were quick to point out how important this is for men.

One said: ‘These videos are my favourite. Just giving these guys their confidence back – makes me tear up everytime!! Boy power!’

Another wrote: ‘I don’t think people realise the impact this has on men. What you are doing is so important.’
