Actress Sheila Sim undergoes hair transplant procedure to fix 'prominent bald spot'

The 40-year-old disclosed on Instagram Stories on Nov 6 that ever since she started modelling in 2001, she received feedback that her hair was thinning. "Why I had a bald spot is because when I was young, I used to pluck my hair," she said.

She posted photos of her sparse crown, writing: "These were my thinning areas and bald spots that were usually covered up with hair fibres."
