The supermodel left onlookers stunned as she revealed a huge bald patch beneath her long luscious wig while on a fashion shoot for designer Dennis Basso in New York. The 40-year-old has revealed signs of a vanishing hairline before, but the true extent of the problem was put on show as she held her hair back as a stylist adjusted her clothing. It appears that years of wearing tight hair extensions have taken a toll on the model’s natural hair, causing severe breakage. Hair loss associated with hair braiding, weaving and extensions is known as ‘traction alopecia’.
