A leading hair consultant, Barry Stevens, has recommended hair extensions be banned as the number of women suffering problems such as alopecia and bald patches grows. The increase is linked to the number of salons now offering hair extensions at a cheap price without necessarily having the hairdressers with the right qualifications to put them in correctly. The cheap price offered is often because of the poor quality of hair extension being provided, which can cause problems.

Barry Stevens said: "People who have hair extensions usually have high hopes they'll look and feel good but very often it ends in tears".

"There can be quite serious consequences wearing them for a long period. They are capable of destroying hair permanently."

Barry Stevens warned "Hair extensions pull out one's natural hair. They're heavy, don't absorb water easily and can tangle very quickly."
