Yahoo Lifestyle Is Kim Kardashian Going Bald?
Kim Kardashian is just as famous for her luscious long longs just as she is for her backside and contoured cheeks. But according to a hair extension expert, the reality TV star is suffering from hair loss as a result of rapid weight loss following her pregnancy.

Tatiana Karelina, a leading hair extension specialist, tells the MailOnline, "It is well known that during the later stage of pregnancy you lose less hair due to hormones, making it thicker and lusher, but when you have the baby most women find they seem to be losing a lot more hair than normal.

"Birth and rapid weightloss are both factors that have triggered her thinning hair and made her opt for hair extensions to boost her diminished hair volume."
Tatiana adds that 33-year-old Kim needs to stop using weaves in her hair unless she wants to lose more of her natural locks. "In spite of giving instant full thick hair, weaves put extreme pressure on the hair and scalp, often too heavy and tight, the pulling and weight often cause severe migraines and Traction Alopecia, and actually aid hair loss rather than help to recover healthy hair regrowth," the expert says.
