Love Island stars Harry Cooksley, 30, and Ben Holbrough, 23, have caused chaos on the show so far, but fans are even more shocked that despite their young ages, both boys have had a hair transplant.

While they aren't the first Islanders to have their luscious locks discussed in a public forum, things are a bit different for Harry and Ben as they have both publicly disclosed that they have undergone a hair transplant.

Six years ago Harry underwent the procedure at EstePera Hair Clinic in Turkey which he described as "pain free" and revealed he was "delighted" with the results.

Ben has also had a hair transplant, choosing to have the procedure at 360 Hair Clinic around 18 months ago.

Six months on from the treatment, Ben revealed his hair was 80% there as he shared videos of his growth over the time period.

Upon Ben's entrance in Love Island being announced, 360 Hair Clinic posted a message of support to the Islander, saying: "We’re so proud to have been part of his journey and can’t wait to watch him shine (with great hair, of course) on national TV. Best of luck, Ben! You’ve already got the crown for best hair in the villa."

So far neither of the contestants have discussed their hair transplants whilst in the villa, however this topic isn't off bounds on Love Island.

All Stars contestant Ronnie Vint opened up about his hair journey on the show, revealing that whilst he hadn't undergone a hair transplant, he wouldn't rule it out in the future.

Instead the 28-year-old uses a hair powder to create a fuller look, telling Olivia Attwood So Wrong It's Right podcast: "So my hairline, if I ain’t got this powder in, my hairline’s back in Majorca it’s that bad.

"I use like a Toppik Fiber. So when I wash my hair it’s like nothing, so my hair is there obviously, but it just fills in like the little gaps. I’ve always used it."
