Just WHERE has Naomi Campbell's hair gone? Supermodel reveals shocking bald patch on shoot

Bald patch: Naomi Campbell revealed signs of serious hair loss on a fashion photo shoot in New York today


Her wild behaviour is often shocking, but Naomi Campbell caused jaws to drop for entirely different reasons today.

The supermodel left onlookers stunned as she revealed a huge bald patch beneath her long luscious wig while on a fashion shoot for designer Dennis Basso in New York today.

The 40-year-old has revealed signs of a vanishing hairline before, but the true extent of the problem was put show after a gust of wind caught her off-guard.

It appears that years of wearing tight hair extensions have taken as toll on the model's natural hair, causing severe breakage.

Hair loss associated with hair braiding, weaving, and extensions is known as 'traction alopecia'.

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and Alexandra Burke are all reported to have suffered similar symptoms as a result of their extensions.

While prolonged traction can cause permanent loss of hair in the affected areas, it is reversible if caught early.

She's pumped: Naomi posed up at a gas station in the Meatpacking district


But Naomi appeared oblivious to the revelation as she posed at a gas station in the Meatpacking district.

She wore a green swimsuit that put her long, lean legs on show and also paraded a series of fur coats.

The former PETA campaigner famously declared in the Nineties that she would rather go naked than wear fur but she had a change of heart some years back.
