Now we all know this isn't the first time that a picture like this of Naomi has surfaced but now it's even worse than last time. Her hair line is completely gone. I feel for her. This doesn't happen to everyone but it does happen to some. THis is why when using these styles as protective styles, we MUST take care of our hair. This is a result of poor hair care and just slapping some weave on it.

As one of the world's foremost supermodels, Naomi Campbell rarely looks anything other than picture perfect. But it was a different story for the 42-year-old beauty as she enjoyed a holiday in Ibiza earlier this week. With her hair pulled back in a ponytail, Naomi revealed her incredibly receding hairline, the result of her over-reliance on hair extensions and weaves for most of her modelling career.

Sparking concern: t Naomi could be suffering from traction alopecia - a hair loss condition caused by the overuse of extensions

And while Naomi still looked in great shape in her patterned bikini, all attention was focused on her hairline, with her exposed scalp causing concern. This is not the first time Naomi has sparked concern with her thinning hair, with experts saying she is suffering from traction alopecia - hair loss caused by the use of extensions. The supermodel, originally from Streatham, South London, has worn straight extensions over her naturally curly hair for a number of years. Traction alopecia occurs when the extensions pull on the natural hair causing it to break, and usually affects the hairline just above the forehead or the sides, where the hair is weaker. It can take between three months to a year for hair to grow back in moderate cases. But if the pulling continues the hair will never grow back and the only option is a multi therapeutic hair transplant. Stars including Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Britney Spears and Alexandra Burke are all reported to have suffered traction alopecia as a result of hair extensions.

Celebrity hair extensions expert Tatiana Karelina, who counts famous faces including Danielle O'Hara, Stacey Solomon and Lauren Goodger among her clients, said of Naomi's condition: 'The interesting thing to note is that traction alopecia doesn't progress like other hair diseases. 'At the initial stages it is reversible but prolonged tension may destroys the hair follicles and will not re-grow under any circumstances. 'It is unclear from the pictures if Naomi's condition is permanent but given the time that has passed since she was first spotted with this condition it is more than likely that the damage she has suffered is permanent.' Tatiana added to MailOnline: 'Hair extensions, when done properly, can give amazing results, but when done with no care for natural hair in some cases it can leave the follicles and your own hair damaged beyond repair. 'Heavy extensions can literally pull the follicles out over time, some glue extensions, tight weaves and elastic bands can create and enhance patches of baldness on the scalp. 'Putting glue in your hair is similar to putting gum in it. It's going to be hard to get out and even with the best removers some hairs will get pulled out leaving you with broken hair, damage and in some cases balding.'

Now i don't agree that it isn't reversible because my mom suffered with something similar and we were able to pull her hair back from the brink but this case is worse than her's was. I just hope she wakes up and goes to see a trichologist before it's all gone.
