Roadtrip’s Ryan, 24, chops off his long hair to undergo hair transplant at Jeremy McConnell’s Hair Of Istanbul clinic
ROADTRIP singer Ryan Beaumont shocked fans when he chopped off his long hair to undergo a hair transplant at Jeremy McConnell's luxury Hair of Istanbul clinic in Turkey.
The 24-year-old's decision to lop off his locks is a common one ahead of a hair transplant as it aids the surgeon carrying out the procedure.
The five-piece boyband enjoyed the high life in Istanbul around Rye's op, visiting the city's sights and dining at the famous Salt Bae restaurant where they enjoyed a gold steak.
Jeremy, 29, who recently welcomed the birth of his first child with girlfriend Katie McCreath, remained at home with daughter Storm, but he did support Ryan from afar.
A source told The Sun Online: "The choice to treat the group has not been without its own problems as some of their passionate fans are deeply upset at Ryan shaving his head.
"Although a hair transplant in the long-term means more hair, in the short-term the band will look less cute boy band and more 1960’s rock band.
"However, Jeremy is seeking to show that treatment overseas can be a great experience and that hair loss and transplant treatment is not just for older men."
In breaking the stigmas of cosmetic surgery, Jeremy has worked to encourage influencers to attend his clinic and to document their journey.
And singing sensations Roadtrip have over 725,000 followers on Instagram.
Earlier this month Jeremy cemented his proud daddy status by launching an Instagram account for daughter Storm.
The Celebrity Big Brother star's partner Katie gave birth in November and the pair described her as "so beautiful."
Jeremy chose a profile picture of Storm cuddled up in white sheets for her Instagram account.
Her user name is stormmcconnell7 and visitors are greeted to her page by the sweet wording: "The sun always shines after the Storm, here is my page to brighten up your day.
"This page is run by storms mummy & daddy for her."
So far, the account features 50 images of storm, as well as a screenshot of a cute mantra which reads: "She's the exclamation mark in the happiest sentence I could ever write."
Jeremy and Katie announced they were expecting a baby to The Sun Online in July.
