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