British Super Model displays classic example of Traction Alopecia

I saw this article and had to post it because of the picture attached which shows traction alopecia



Naomi Campbell's modeling career has definitely stood the test of time, but sadly we can't say the same about her hair.

All those years of wearing hair extensions and weaves have really caught up with the British bombshell, who was spotted in Ibiza by paparazzi this week showing off a massively receding hairline and mangled mane.

We've seen bald on the British beauty before, but this is way bigger than a spot.

In the past Naomi has done a pretty good job covering up the patches and jagged edges with her classic bone straight weave and blunt bangs. But this week the bikini clad model was spotted splashing around in the ocean, which isn't conducive to keeping her hair in place--thus exposing her shocking hair loss to the prying photogs.

Many believe the 42-year-old model is suffering from traction alopecia, a hair loss condition that is often caused by wearing weaves and extensions over an extended period of time.

Naomi's case seems pretty severe. "At this stage it's probably permanent and irreversible," said one expert after studying the picture of Naomi with her tattered edges. "It looks like she waited too long to treat the issue and that her follicles are now totally damaged."

If Naomi has any chance of saving what's left of her hair, the expert says she should probably lose the weave that's currently attached to her natural hair. That'll prevent further breakage, she said. she also suggests that the supermodel invest in a fitted custom wig, which will alleviate the strain on her remaining hair and completely cover her bald patches.

Naomi has a bit of time to pull herself together before she makes her reality TV debut on "The Face" And with a lot of money in the bank, she can certainly afford the best wigs that money can buy.

She looks ruff now!
Not much of a supermodel now.

Bet when she has a professional make up artist on the job she looks lovely again. I think it's cruel how the paparazzi take great fun in displaying peoples flaws.

Traction Alopecia effects many who bead their hair in a backwards style, there is enormous pressure on the hair follicles, imagine having your arm or leg pulled and strapped in a tight posisition with no room to move.

Seems like her hair hasn't improved since the last set of pictures in August last year. She returned to the catwalk this week and these new pictures are everywhere in the press.
