A man who started balding at just 22 years old decided to undergo a life-changing transformation ahead of his 30th birthday. The result was so impressive that viewers on TikTok were stunned by how different he looked.
The transformation was shared on the @novocabelohair TikTok account, where it quickly gained attention. In the video, Ben explained that he wanted a “fresh style” for his milestone birthday, and the procedure not only gave him a new look but also boosted his confidence. In the comments, he admitted that the transformation had “changed his life.”
The video showcased the hair technician, Rob, using a skin base and glue adhesive to attach the hair system. Rob styled the hair into a soft slick-back with disconnected sides. When Ben saw the final result, he was visibly amazed. “Yeah, yeah, I really like it,” he said, laughing at how different he looked. “It’s a lot of hair,” he added, clearly overwhelmed by the dramatic change.
In the comments, many people praised the transformation. One person said, “Gone from 40+ to 29! Amazing work guys!” while another commenter wrote, “Wow, he looks totally different! Rob, this is amazing.” Another user joked, “Took 15 plus years off! Looks great. How much was this? My husband would love to get this.”
However, not everyone was convinced. One person commented, “While I’d love to have hair again, this isn’t for me.”
Ben’s transformation is not unique. Another client of Novo Cabelo, named Kegs, also went through a similar makeover after feeling self-conscious about his receding hairline. After the procedure, Kegs was so impressed by the results that some said he looked like a contestant from Love Island.
Novo Cabelo, which translates to “new hair” in Portuguese, offers hair replacement systems for those who have experienced hair loss. The company provides more than just a physical transformation—stylists are trained to support clients emotionally throughout the process. The hair systems, made from real human hair, can last from three to five months with proper care.
