Kim Kardashian is considered by many a role model in terms of fashion, life choices and especially in terms of attractiveness. The reality star has managed to create a new body standard that is being copied by women around the world.

Though her ample curves are earning the jealousy of many women, Kim isn't as perfect as she might lead you to believe. After it's been reported that her revealing selfie picture, showing off her figure, was doctored to make her seem slimmer, a new photo has now emerged to show that Kim is also losing her hair fast.

In the photo, which is also attached to this article, we can see Kim with her hair pulled up into a knot on top of her head, which reveals some significant large bald spots around her hair line.

Experts quoted by Radar say that a possible reason for this massive hair loss could be childbirth and her rapid decrease in weight.

The picture also reveals one of Kim's beauty secrets, as she can be seen wearing a sewn-in weave. Yes, you read right, Kim Kardashian lost so much hair, she now has to have a weave to keep a full head of hair.

But if you're thinking that a sewn-in weave would be the best choice to give you a rich, flowing mane, you'd be wrong. Experts say that a weave is very damaging to the scalp and the hair follicles, ironically leading to more hair loss.

Ideally, you should use lighter extensions that don't do as much damage, like a clip-in, which can be easily removed and allow the scalp to recover. Kim on the other hand, did not get the memo, and for the moment, seems to be rocking that weave in order to keep up appearances.

Sadly, she's not the only celebrity to suffer from hair loss issues. Among the most famous women in Hollywood to suffer from a receding hairline are Naomi Campbell, Rihanna and Tyra Banks. Sadly, they too have suffered massive hair loss thanks to extensive weave-wearing.
