Olivia Attwood 'needs help' after hair loss discovery in Seoul

Olivia Attwood was left horrified after a worrying health discovery while travelling the world for her documentary series. In the latest episode of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, the former Love Island star underwent a scalp analysis in Seoul, South Korea, and was told she has hair loss issues.

Just minutes into the episode, Olivia is seen getting the analysis, which showed her scalp up close. Reacting to the image of her hair follicles on screen, she squealed in disgust and said: "Ew. That is minging."

Hair loss warning

Describing her "thin hair", Olivia was told she has "hair loss" issues, meaning if left untreated, things could become worse. She asked: "So my hair is going to fall out?" before looking at the camera in shock.

Seung Pyo, global manager, told the star she needed more nutrients for her hair to grow thicker and healthier. Olivia replied: "Yeah, I need help. Clearly. I am so ready, I've never been more ready for anything in my life."

K-beauty treatments explored

The episode follows Olivia as she joins Brits drawn to K-beauty standards in Seoul. K-beauty refers to skincare, cosmetics, and beauty practices originating from South Korea, including treatments Olivia dubs "out of this world". She is also seen getting treatment herself and chatting to Brits who have lived in South Korea for five years about available beauty treatments.

Later in the episode, the star was seen "recovering from another surprise" after being informed of excess body fat and other treatments on offer.
