She wants fans to take a break from wearing theirs.
Geordie Shore’s Sophie Kasaei has opened up about her devastation after developing alopecia – and encouraged her followers not to make the same mistake.
The reality TV star revealed the extent of her hair loss in a candid clip posted on MTV’s social media accounts.
The 27 year old told how she has developed Traction Alopecia after years of wearing heavy hair extensions without giving her hair or scalp a proper break.
Sophie wore her hair scraped back in a bun as she showed off the bald patches that have developed around her temples.
She turned her head to the side to showcase the full extent of her hair loss.
The Geordie Shore star urged social media users to “give their hair a break” if they use extensions – and vowed to treat her own hair better.

She said:
“Because of all the extensions I’ve been getting, I’ve suffered from Contraction Alopecia, which means that I’ve lost hair on the sides and that it may never come back.
“And that’s not because of the extensions I’m getting in, it’s because of all the years I’ve been tormenting my hair.
“So going forward I want to start looking after my hair and I want to make people aware that if you are getting extensions give your hair a break in between because you don’t want to end you with bald patches like this.”
