FASHION-conscious women who copy hair extensions sported by stars such as X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham risk developing bald spots.
Girls as young as 20 are having to undergo surgery after suffering “traction alopecia”. This is hair loss caused when extensions exert constant tension over a long period on the scalp and hair follicles.
Some women are left with permanent bald spots. Hair restoration surgeon Dr Bessam Farjo said: “Hair transplant surgery may seem like an extreme solution but it can be the only way to restore hair permanently.”
Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston said recently: “Nothing destroys your hair faster than extensions.”
