When Weaves and Lace Frontin Goes Wrong

Naomi Campbell’s hairline is deteriorating:

Naomi Campbell is going bald, a friend says. The fiesty supermodel, 38, started losing her hair 15 years ago, fashion photographer Huggy Ragnarsson told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. And her flowing locks are to blame. Campbell’s tresses began falling out after years of having hair extensions, Ragnarsson says. She was reportedly warned about the risks, but chose to ignore them. The model, who was charged last week for alleged assault on an airline, appeared to have a receeding hairline as she left a London police station on May 29. “That’s been happening for a while,” Ragnarsson said. “The hair stylist Sam McKnight said to me in the ’90s, ‘She’d better be careful with those weaves, she’s going to lose her hair.’”

That’s real. Words of advice to the ladies who do rock faux hair, let that scalp breathe occasionally..your hairline will thank you in the end. Don’t be ashamed to rock the snatch-back from time to time.

    Thats what happens when u wear those lacefronts too long….but what i dont understand is she could have moved her lacefront down further to hide the balding spots

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    Her sh*t looks…I cant fint a word to describe…it looks like pub hair that is trying to grow back

  • meather

    She is so beautiful. Love her style. I am a single girl from Blacklatinmeet.com

  • Al-Anon

    She’s going to look a hot mess if she has to do some time in jail.

    We’ll see if there’s real beauty under all that madness!!

  • T-Fab!!!

    oh dear!

    maybe that why she’s so angry and always throwing tantrums

  • Virgo911..

    She should try Dr. Miracle’s Temple balm (or something like that)…that lacefront glue and continuously getting hair sewn in can’t be good for the scalp…

  • MarieDaGuru

    I’m back…….

    Yall better get off my girl Nay-Nay.

    “When We’ve and Lacefronts go Wrong?” Are you kidding me?

    She makes anything look good. She could go bald and still be the baddest on this here planet.

    Trust, if she wanted to have that hairline covered up she could do it. She just doesn’t want to. Hell, we all see that Vivica’s hairline stops at the top of her head, and next thing you know her lacefront hid all of that ish. Puhlease. Many woman shave their hair that far back on purpose.

    I will defend her to the end.

  • MarieDaGuru

    *weave

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    MarieDaGuru….

    Um how can you clam another woman to be the baddest on the planet? You are suppose to keep that title for yourself…look…

    NIKKI UNDERWOOD is the baddest b*tch in the Galaxy!!!

  • Ms. T

    Get rid of the weave Naomi..you are beautiful without it!!!

  • caramelsundae

    @NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    thats so true…lol

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    Opps *claim*…typizzy!!!

  • finesseyoswagger

    time to get a C-Dawg Naomi!

    shave that ish off and stick to rugs cuz that recedo is steady runnin’ back to da 50 yardline…

  • REAL2REELVISIONS

    These chics with all these weaves need to take a break. By the time all these black women reach menopause they will all be wearing wigs not weaves. Because all their assess will be bald headed. Like Willie D. from the Ghetto Boys said in one of his famous songs,”I see some baldheaded hoes.”

  • glok9n

    SHE JUST NEED TO LAY OFF THAT COCA MILIA!!! SHE’LL BE IGHT! SHE STILL FUKING BEAUTIFUL, IF SHE WENT BALD!

  • Your all Freakin’ Nazi’s!

    she aint going bald because of genetics.

    because her mom still got a full head of hair.

    Ill tell you why, with this obsession to look “YT” she put all that horse hair in her head.

    and she got it locked in tight so you can’t see her natural curls. So that crap has been pulling at her scalp and now her hair has gave in and now coming out.

    I hope she lose every single strand!! that will teach that blackberry throwing, 15-year old acting childish, british trash!!!

    Um how can you clam another woman to be the baddest on the planet? You are suppose to keep that title for yourself…look…

    ***************

    Nikki, you are right! I do think I’m the baddest non-famous person, ever!

    I just think Naomi is the baddest famous person in hollyweird.

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    WHOA!…

    My edges are important to me too!!!

  • Harlem Chic

    Naomi,

    Not only should you lay off the weave; lay off the Botox. The cheeks on your face make you look like a baboon’s ass.

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    with all that money she need to find another alternative to how she wears her hair

    either that or rock some serious bangs or a very short wig.

    she ain’t the only one that got her hairline pushed back.

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    MarieDaGuru…

    I see ya…but dont throw that non famous in there!!! Own that sh*t!!! Then hoes just got money!!! If I had they doe I would be the baddest in the Milky Way…ya feel me? Not a space alien or Mermaid could touch me LOL!!!!!!

  • Just Sayin

    No wonder she is always mad! She should think about putting some raw aloe vera and olive oil a couple times a week will bring those edges right back.

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    MarieDaGuru

    You have a point that she would still be beautiful bald headed, but c’mon gurl….

    You know this sistah ain’t walking around white folks with her natural naps or

    a bald head. Could you picture Beyonce, Ciara, Tyra, Ashanti, etc all with no weaves!

    Highly Unlikely! I know of black woman who can only see themselves

    as beautiful if they portray a certain look, they would never go natural

    or bald. The risk alopecia then save their roots!

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    Ohh I forgot to put Oprah up there too…her with no weave and nautral!

  • *****

    What the hell is a snatch-back?

  • Another day

    One person you never hear about her f*cking up is her hairdresser she need to keep her cool with them cuz if they come out and tell the story of how they got beat while tryin to tack a weave unto to the two strands of hair she has left way in the back of her head that would be so funny.

    You’re so right. I recently cut off all my relaxed hair and am 100% natural. Although my family supported it at the same time they were like “I could do that. I gotta have a perm. I don’t have the type of hair you do, I can’t go without perm.” I’m just like ding-dong you went without one before you had your first one and our ancestors went without one. Maybe if you paid less attention to your hair and more on real ish. Our people would be in a better state.

  • *****

    type o:

    ” I couldn’t do that.”

  • ???

    It sucks for black girls! Back then black girls had no other option besides perm or weave because there weren’t any good hair products that catered to African American hair & natural hair was so intolerable & hard to deal with. Thank goodness there are products now like Dr. miracles & carol’s daughter but it wasn’t like that before. My hair is extra thick & my hair used to be long but after years & years of perming and hair braiding; it has taken a serious toll on my hair. There is nothing wrong with hair braiding but when you leave the braids in for a real long time & wear them continually without letting your scalp breath it will put stress on your hair & may cause hair damage.

    This doesn’t apply to every black female. Our hair is as different as we are. There have been products to help our hair all the time. It’s not the product that need to change, it’s our concept of beauty. My hair doesn’t need to be bone straight to be beautiful. Just like I don’t have to have Beyonce’s complexion and Tyra Banks’ eye color to be beautiful.

  • gimme a break

    sista needs to put that dam weave and wig down

    its killing the natural growth of the hair ….

    i dont understand how you got so much money, but need some weave to look good.

    she needs to find a GOOD hairstylist (come to the African American hair salons in the US) who can really make your hair grow with one touch.

    I grew my hair out of the perms and stopped wearing weaves, and let me tell you…it feels so good to have a full head of natural hair. just wash, grease, comb and go!!

    flat iron when you going to work or somewhere nice.

    don’t have to dodge the rain, its even optional to wrap at night. I can swim in the pool, beach etc.

    Its absolute freedom when your hair is natural.

    If i had her money, I would have a GOOD hairstylist on call to come do some goodness to my hair morning and night. morning to wash and set. night to wrap. In fact, if I had her money, I would never touch my hair unless its to feel the softness.

    just shows no matter how much money you got, if you dont know what to do with your hair…you got no hope!!

    **off soapbox**

  • who knows

    All these posts have talked about black women losing their hair because of weave/braids and they could have long hair if they didn’t do weave, etc. WTF?!? How about having short hair by choice, because it looks good on you?

    I see so many women wanting long hair and buying hair grow products, when long hair is NOT for everyone. Sometimes you would look ten times better if you just cut it! We have to get over the myth that long hair = beautiful.

    @*****

    Yeah that’s true about the braids….just check out Susan Taylor of Essence…she should have given up the braid a long time ago. A long extended period of wearing braids will jack your hair up and this goes for the dudes too….why do you think that Rick Hamilton of the Piston’s took his out.

  • Malorie

    Thats what she get always trying to be fake! all black women are always trying to get in order to look more like white girls…long soft flowing hair…the truth is—it’s not natural for black women and need to stick to their ‘heritage’

  • *****

    @Malorie

    Calm down and get off the soap box. Not ALL of us are doing that. Not to mention the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. Some of this stuff is so inbred in us that many don’t see anything else as beautiful (or beautiful for themselves) than “long soft flowing hair”. Not to mention just because you want your hair like that it doesn’t mean you want to be white. I have a lot of natural friends who straighten their hair with a flat iron for a different look. Not everything is about wanting to be white.

    Goodmorning everyone!

    This is why I always say, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. You gotta find a happy medium here, and even if you’re in that kind business. That is unsightly and distracting.

    If you wanna wear tracks, then leave the top portion out. and blend in. Save your hairline, that’s the most sensitive portion of hair you have.

    @MALORIE GET YOUR ASS BACK ON THAT SOAP BOX! THEY TRYING TO LOOK LIKE WHITE JESUS PERMED HAIR ……..PREACH SISTAH PREACH!!

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re

    Your body is like an investment. You’re all brand new when you’re born, and then you get more worn out when you get older. Just like anything else you have that gets old and worn. So why not do what you can to avoid speeding up that process before its supposed to happen naturally? People don’t get it.

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    I don’t wear lace front wigs…

    Can someone explain how they bald you? I understand braids and weaves

    yes I was wondering cause a traditional wig doesn’t

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    Smokey….

    Could it be the ‘rubbage’ of the lace to scalp?

  • KAM

    To secure a lace front you have to use tape or glue. You use a serum or a lace release to remove them that is supposedly “safe” for the hair, but I highly doubt it. Look at Kelly Rowland’s, Star Jones’, even Vivica Fox’s hairlines…they are all receding. I saw a pic of Bey on mediatakeout without a lace front on and hers looks pretty crazy too. I wouldn’t mess with them.

  • CAT EYES

    EVEN BALD HEADED,NAOMI LOOKS BETTER THAN ANY MODELS OUT THERE. SHE COULD SHAVE HER WHOLE HEAD RIGHT NOW AND STILL MAKE MONEY OFF HER LOOKS.

  • whateva

    ^^^ oh shut up. First of all mediafakeout photoshops their pics so your point is automatically invalid. Kelly’s hairline is fine and so is Bey’s. They both have long shoulder length hair so know what you are talking about. I am not sure about Star or Vivica though.

    I wear lacefronts and the glue does not mess up your edges. You just have to know what you are doing. Unless you wear weave/wigs/lacefronts, then you dont know what you are talking about.

  • whateva

    That was at KAM.

  • biracial bombshell

    I just think that’s what Naomi gets for thinking she’s too good to be natural for once…pretty soon it’s either going to have to be wigs or nothing. Hope she’s happy

  • Malorie

    It is so sad to see everyone using such harsh products on their hair! And yess the reason for getting weaves wigs etc. is in order to have hair as much as possible like a white girl…and I’ll argue til the end with this because black women are NOT known for having long soft hair unless they use horse hair and glue….give it up ladies it is disrespectful to our natural beauty…if we are meant to have short damaged hair then we need to take care of that…not replace it with the fake!! It is unhealthy to our hair and as we can see it’s ruining our hair even more!

  • gabrielle

    In the looks department, she looks good enough to be without all the weaves.. She truly never ages and has one of the most beautiful skin tones and i think that is amazing. Her body type also is pretty good. She could be one of the best iconic supermodels of our time if she just loses the temper flare-ups and attitude.

    You obviously don’t know any natural women. This statement is untrue and ignorant. Have your opinion no problem with that but at least know the fact.

    P.S. If wigs and weaves are to have hair like a white girl then why are white girls wear wigs and weaves?

    I soo agree with that comment…If women want to wear weave it’s our perogative, but what’s wrong with real hair? I wear my hair short and I look fierce baby!!! We don’t HAVE to have long flowing locks…

    Tell ‘em gurl. They don’t even know.

  • BHOOYOOHR

    You guys should probably do your research before you run your mouths. If you learn to maintain your lacefronts, you can keep a healthy hairline. However, one of the stars method of putting a lacefront on is to shave the hairline back a bit because natural scalp bonds better with he cream used to put it on. They could also be suffering from alopecia….

    Everyone is mentioning the damage of lace fronts and weaves and braids, but no one is discussing the damage of relaxers and alot of heat! Chemicals and heat definitely does great damage to hair follicles as well. Alot of black women just don’t know that with a great conditioner and shampoo and hot oil treatments and a good conditioning oil (not grease cause it cloges hair pores) your hair can be full and healthy and easy to manage. You can even braid it in medium-big size braids at night with alil setting lotion and go for the wavy-curly look and look great, that’s what i do! We been taught that our hair is ugly and if not straighten, its nappy and horrible, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Black hair is stylish, fun, and makes a statement out of everyone else’s hair, and that alone makes it special and unique, therefore its something to be proud of, not ashamed, regardless what society and tv portrays!

    @ Til You Do Right By Me:

    I 100% agree about Susan Taylor. And she’s actually been going to Ellen Lavar (from the TV show Hair Trauma) for YEARS!!! If Ellen can charge thousands of dollars for her services, you’d think a long-term client would still have a few strands of natural hair on her head. ??? AND Susan should really change that busted picture on her editor’s page. It’s been in Essence for years and it is hideous. :-(

  • tk

    i agree and disagree with some statement made here, but at the end of the day we as black women need to love the hair that grows out of our heads!

    we have raised a generation of young black females that have no idea how to care for their hair, and that’s sad.

    self hatred is a MOFO!

  • claroliza

    I’m Dominican and in our culture we are taught to really take good care of our hair. Of course, there are always exceptions, but most of us wash our hair at home, do rollers at home and get under the hair dryer at home then blow dry at home. we go to salons for the convenience, not because we don’t know how to care for our hair.

    I say all that because it’s really sad to see African-American women mess up their hair with all that weave and braids WHEN THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO HOT IRONS AND FAKE HAIR. I have long hair and get it chemically straightened and believe me I was born with curly coarse hair. But because my mom taught me how to take care of it, it’s healhty and beautiful.

    Anyway, remember, the majority of white women can get away with the weaves all they want because their hair grows back faster and it’s a different texture. but black women you are playing with fire and getting burned.

  • anon

    Black is beau….oops bald is beautiful!

  • blackgirl

    I have long said that I do not have to have my hair bone-straight, nose narrow, light skin. I would rather have hair than that eaten-away-at-the-sides look. That doesn’t grow back. The weaves and braids have not always been to look like white people but to manage the hair. Talk to the older generations. It was a time, it was hard to get a job with your hair everywhere. Folks really need to just realize that different ethnicities have different features. To me true acceptance, and “color blindness” exists when folks realize that so what folks ARE different. Its just a different texture of hair because of our genes. Folks understand Chinese people and their features/genes and Irish folks and their features/genes but it is some big drastic deal when it comes to black folks and their genes. Biggest deal should be to be thankful to just have some hair up there.

  • foxygirl

    u kno what else too ladies? we gots to be careful with them relaxers too? try to wait at least 8-10 wks b4 applying again! they can make you go bald too. i do weaves 4 special occasions only, birthday, miami etc. besides aint nothn like a man pulln that natural long hair from the back!

  • Sparkle

    Claroliza, I agree with what you are saying but unfortunately I live on the West Coast where there are no Dominican salons. Also many African AMerican stylists attend white beauty schools which do not really understand black hair so the training is way off. Add to that, the sad fact that many of us have been made to feel ashamed of our natural hair and will go through any lengths and measures to get rid of those “naps”. I heard that stylists from the DR could really do some hair. Too bad I can’t avail myself of their services living out here in Cali.

  • txgal

    When you think about it, black hair was not meant to have chemicals in it. It’s not natural and our hair lets us know it. How many black women have you seen where you can truly and honestly say that their hair looks really good? Not many. Usually it straight but weighed down with some kind of hair dress. Or it’s time for a touch up, esp. on the neck and temples. A lot of times it’s pulled back so tight that the sides are starting to thin. Usually the hair has some kind of extension, weave or wrap. It very seldom looks good or convincing. I don’t care who you are, but if you use fake hair, you do want it to look as authentic as possible. If you don’t have it touched up regularly, it looks a mess and it can be so expensive to keep it up, You look at most black little girls, either their mothers are not taking the time to care for their hair or they don’t know how themselves. We as black people don’t have our own standard for beauty. We’ve adopted the european standard. We tweaked it a little with color and styles and tried to make it our own. But it’s really not us. It never feels quite right. I do have to put a little of the responsibilities on the hair stylist. You would think some of them would forge ahead and offer some better alternatives than a relaxer, weave, braids or wrap. I wish they would take the first important step and help us find better alternatives so perhaps we can begin to accept our “own” hair. It could be very beautiful. But first we’d have to change our mind set. Black women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. But first we have to know who we are and where we came from.

    A few points about Naomi: Hair issues is the least of her problems. She doesn’t know who she is. She’s lost her self in that “world”. The reason most fashion houses want her is because there is no one like Naomi. Her face,skin, body, and walk, are undeniable. But she’s not always going to have them. Their not going to last forever. You would think with all the money and fame she’d be happy and healthy. Just look at her. She’s slowly falling apart.

    I for one rock weaves, braids and relaxers, but believe me i’m no way in hell trying to look like a white woman!!! I am totally at comfort with myself, but sometimes like a little change, but I do give my hair a rest from time to time and have even gone natural a couple of times, other than just cutting my hair boy short! It’s not always a matter of trying to look like a white woman, sometimes it’s about versatility.
    Now for Naomi, I totally agree that she is SOOO LOST!!!!She really needs to find herself and maybe if she did and with all that money she would be able to find better help with her hair.

    THEY WISH THEY HAD NATURAL BEAUTIFUL LONG HAIR! CUZ THEIR REAL HAIR IS WEIRD IT JUST STAYS STILL, IT DOESN’T MOVE AT ALL. ON A WINDY DAY IT DOESN’T GO EVERYWHERE LIKE OURS.
