Tulisa Contostavlos, the former N-Dubz star, made her highly anticipated return to television this week on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, thrilling fans with her jungle debut.
However, her comeback has sparked a storm of online commentary, with many viewers focusing on her appearance and openly mocking the changes in her looks since she first rose to fame.
Defending Her Appearance
Friends and supporters have rushed to defend Tulisa against the online criticism.
Rylan Clark, a close friend of the singer, took to social media to address the cruel remarks.
He highlighted the challenges Tulisa has faced in recent years, including recovering from facial paralysis, which she believes has impacted her appearance.
Rylan pointed out that such personal struggles should not be ridiculed or mocked.
Hairline Criticism and Accusations
The primary point of discussion has centered around Tulisa’s hairline.
Viewers have commented on her hair, suggesting it looks unnatural, with some accusing her of wearing a wig.
One TikTok video, which garnered over 735,000 views, questioned if the singer was sporting a wig, while another clip, with 213,000 views, claimed her hairline appeared too full to be real.
While some viewers admired the thickness of her hair, others speculated she might have undergone procedures like a hair transplant or used a wig.
Experts Weigh In on Potential Procedures
As the debate about her hairline continues, experts have shared their insights, speculating on possible cosmetic procedures Tulisa may have undergone.
Dr. Glyn Estebanez, an aesthetic surgeon, suggested that her hairline’s changes could be due to lifting or tightening procedures that subtly shift the position of the hairline.
He mentioned that face-lift surgeries, including mini face-lifts, can cause such shifts.
Dr. Shehab Jabir, a consultant plastic surgeon, noted that a hairline lowering procedure could also explain the changes.
This type of surgery involves repositioning the scalp to reduce forehead height, creating a more balanced facial appearance.
Possible Hair Transplant?
Another possibility raised by experts is a hair transplant.
Dr. Jabir pointed out that a fuller, denser hairline could indicate a transplant, where hair follicles are relocated from other areas of the scalp to create a thicker appearance.
While modern transplant techniques aim for natural results, subtle irregularities can sometimes be noticed in the hair texture or pattern.
Tulisa’s Candid Reflections on Her Health Struggles
This isn’t the first time Tulisa has opened up about her health challenges.
In earlier interviews, she shared how Bell’s palsy, a condition that causes facial paralysis, led her to use facial fillers to balance out the swelling she experienced.
She discussed how she would match the inflammation on one side of her face by adding filler to the other.
Additionally, Tulisa has spoken publicly about her struggles with dermatillomania, a condition that causes people to compulsively pick at their skin.
In her 2012 memoir Honest: My Story So Far, she revealed how she struggled with the disorder from a young age, often picking at her skin to cope with anxiety.
Despite the severe damage it caused to her face at times, she emphasized that she was fortunate her skin healed quickly, with minimal scarring.
Tulisa’s Resilience
Tulisa’s openness about her struggles, from health issues to mental health challenges, shows her resilience in the face of public scrutiny.
While the conversation around her appearance continues, it’s clear that she has faced much more than just cosmetic concerns in her journey.
Her return to the spotlight reminds us that there is much more to a person than how they look—and that behind every appearance is a story of personal growth and strength.
