Poor Britney Spears. I wouldnt shave my hair off

9th March 2008 By Mike Parker Your Shout
TROUBLED Britney Spears is in danger of becoming a baldie again.

The singer’s hair is falling out in clumps a year after she shaved it all off.

Britney has been disguising her patchy scalp with wigs and extensions fitted by top Beverly Hills
stylist Kim Vo.

But recent photos reveal that even though most of her old mane is growing back, alarming bare areas remain on top of her head.

Medical hair and scalp experts, shown rear-view pictures of the star’s head, believe she may have a serious condition that could leave her permanently bald.

LA-based Dr Maurice Messler said: “It looks like she could be displaying early signs of alopecia.

“This can be stress-related or caused as an unforeseen consequence of hairstyling routines, such as excessively tight braiding.

“In some people, it can also be caused by a psychological compulsion to literally pull or tear out one’s own hair.” A second specialist said: “Some medical treatments, including certain psychotropic drugs, can cause hair loss or accelerate the effects of alopecia.”

Britney, 26, who is under psychiatric care, is taking at least two such prescription drugs as well as pills to help her sleep.

Stylist-to-the-stars Vo has been working with Britney four times a week.

He is replacing her existing hair extensions with new technologically advanced ones and insists her locks are not a lost cause.

Vo said: “Her natural hair is now about five inches long and work on her new extensions is a long process but we are looking forward to very exciting results.”

But a stylist from another salon, who has also worked with Britney, said: “There are several areas where her hair
doesn’t seem to be growing back at all.

“And what hair there is is very brittle, almost spiky in parts.

“It breaks my heart because I don’t think she’ll ever again have those lovely long, natural tresses she once had.”

If Britney does go bald, she’ll find herself in pretty smooth celebrity company.

Famous alopecia sufferers include Princess Caroline of Monaco, Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart, telly presenter Gail Porter and comedian Matt Lucas.
