Are you using hair extensions? If you do, stop now!
One of the biggest hair science groups in the UK, the Trichological Society, claims that hair extensions can cause bald patches and alopecia.
“People who have hair extensions usually have high hopes they’ll look and feel good but very often it ends in tears. There can be quite serious consequences wearing them for a long period. They are capable of destroying hair permanently,” said Barry Stevens who runs the group.
In addition, the society says a growing number of salons are offering to do hair extensions at a cheap price and some hairdressers don’t have the qualifications to put them in properly.
A report published in the British Journal of Dermatology warns that some women have no visible signs of hair loss even though their scalp could be suffering when looked at more closely.
Researchers in the US and Italy say problems with hair extensions are more common than reported.
Actress Jennifer Aniston recently said: “Nothing destroys your hair faster than extensions.”
