Kellie Maloney visited a Bournemouth salon for a bespoke hair do.

The boxing promoter was contacted by Simone Thomas, owner of Crowning Glory, who was keen to supply a high quality human hair volumiser to complete Kellie’s recent transition.

Kellie, who starred in Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, said she was “over the moon” with her new look after the salon created her a custom-made hair piece.

“Everyone keeps commenting on how well I look,” she said.

“It’s the most advanced system I’ve ever worn and just feels like part of me. Because it’s integrated with my own hair, I’ve got the confidence to go to the gym and do an intense workout, knowing that it will still look great afterwards.”

She added: “It was so important to me to have a natural-looking, low-maintenance hairstyle as part of my new image, and Simone and her team have created something far more realistic than I could have ever imagined.”

Crowning Glory supplies non-surgical hair replacements to a wide variety of clients including cancer patients, sufferers of alopecia, male and female pattern baldness, burns victims, and those who have lost hair due to medication.

Simone set up the business after her own alopecia revealed a gap in the market for high-quality, realistic-looking hair loss systems fitted by experienced stylists.

For Kellie, the salon’s team designed and moulded a template using plaster of Paris to ensure the perfect fit.

Simone explained the rest of the process. She said: “Kellie has a lot of her own hair at the back and sides but she is completely bald on top. This is known as male pattern baldness and our hair volumisers are ideal for disguising this.

“After the template, we then commissioned a hair volumiser made with 16” long ‘platinum’ European hair – the very best available. The system designed covers roughly three quarters of Kellie’s scalp and features a combination of hand-rooted caramel tones in a medium/heavy density for a really luxurious feel.

“Everything about the volumiser is designed around comfort and quality, such as the inside of the cap which features a breathable fine silk mono centre with hand-implanted single hair knotting.”

The order was then sent to the manufacturer. Typically, a piece of this specification can take up to ten weeks to create, according to Simone. However, in Kellie’s case, the order was rushed through to ensure it was ready in time for a secret television project in which she is set to star.
