Love Island All Stars is back on our screens for 2025 and among the OG lineup comes season 11's Ronnie Vint... and his controversial hairline.
No shade, no tea, Turbo (as Ronnie is also known) – the Cosmo group chat thinks your hair looks *chef's kiss*. However, fans of the show have taken to X (previously known as Twitter) to share their curiosity about the footballer's signature barnet. As one user wrote: "Ronnie’s hair needs to be studied. I just don’t understand."
Well, fear not, for Ronnie himself actually addressed his hair situation in a TikTok video shared in November 2024. "That in there is my hair. How mad is that?" he introduces the minute-long post while holding up a bottle of Toppik hair fibres.
"Everybody since coming out of the [Love Island] villa has been asking me what I use on my hair, and I use Toppik, the best hair fibres there is," the 28-year-old says. "So I'm going to show you what I use, how I use it, and get a proper hairline again.
"Because they're made of keratin, they attach to your hair for a much fuller, thicker look. It's really easy to use. I literally just take off the top and I'll just screw on the applicator and you just give it a little shake. I add in the Toppik to the front of my hairline. I first discovered Toppik through my barber, actually. He put it in before a night out, and the compliments everyone said that night, everyone thought I had my hair done and it was just fibres only. Since then, I've never looked back."
Continuing, Ronnie says that it's a quick and easy way to achieve a fuller-looking hairline. "It literally takes me less than five minutes to obviously style my hair and add the fibres," he says, before adding: "So after I add the fibres in, I then get the fibre hold spray and just give it a little spray like that. And usually, I'll just give it a little brush through to hold the look."
Candidly, he signs off the video addressing his confidence. "The boost of confidence it's given me over the years, it's gone a long way. So if you're not happy with your hairline, I would highly recommend Toppik to anyone. It's changed my life and given me a better hairline. So let it give you yours." We love to hear it!
Ronnie also previously joked about his hair on his long-time friend, Olivia Attwood's podcast. "If I ain't go this powder in my hairline is back in Majorca," he said back in July of last year.
We love the transparency and your 'do, Ronnie and hope to see more Eggy Boff antics this season in the villa.
