Presidential adviser Stephen Miller returned to TV a bald man Thursday following a week of mockery over a fake hair augmentation he wore on Sunday’s “Face the Nation.” The staunch immigration critic visited CNN’s “The Situation Room” to defend the President’s proposed border wall and he did it without the hairline enhancement that had late night comics and social media joking about this political cover-up being worse than the crime.Hair manufacturers On Thursday, the right-wing pundit’s hair was shaved very short. At least two prominent Manhattan hair restoration experts who encouraged Miller to do away with his previous follicle debacle think he’s still a step away from living his best life.Dr. Keith Durante of the 30-year-old Ash Center said he’s had grown men come in to his office literally crying for help after plans to somehow replace their lost hair have gone awry. “I feel sorry for him because its demoralizing. I’ve seen clients (after bad hair jobs) who are clinically depressed like it’s a cancer,” Durante said. The doctor said his clientele includes on-air news personalities who have come to realize in the era of large-screen, high-definition televisions, artificial hair is a tougher sell than ever. He called Miller “an absolutely perfect candidate” for a hair transplant.There is some humor in it, but on the other hand, this poor man is suffering inside,” Durante speculated. He cringed after seeing Miller’s attempt at fake follicles over the weekend.Durante is confident he knows what happened to Miller’s scalp last week. It’s not what most people might think. “That’s not spray, that’s fiber,” he said of Miller’s Sunday ‘do. “They use an adhesive like Velcro and put that on the scalp, then they apply the topic, which are hair fibers, to the scalp. That’s exactly what he had done.” Latiqua Williams, who works as Durante’s tech assistant, said she would reach out to Miller and offer her office’s services.Maxim Hair Restoration director Max Fadra, whose organization has a dozen clinics internationally, including one on Park Ave., also sees a hair transplant in Miller’s future. According to Fadra, a surgical solution would cost Miller between $6,000 to $8,000 and could require a few visits. He declined to try and get inside Miller’s head, but explained why some men opt for spray-on hair. “Some guys are afraid of surgery, some guys want instant results,” he said. “A transplant can take nine months to see results.” Fadra encourages anyone with hair-loss issues to avoid quick cosmetic fixes — and suggests a doctor’s visit couldn’t hurt. “A lot of guys who have hair loss have other men’s health issues,” he said. “It could be E.D. (erectile dysfunction), P.E. (premature ejaculation) or testosterone replacement needs.”
