Marina Diamandis: 'Nobody knew I was bald for nine months!'

Singer reveals she wore a wig after hair disaster

 

  • After Dizzee Rascal wanted a change of direction back in 2008 with track ''''Dance Wiv Me'''', XL Recordings were rumoured to have been displeased with his more poppy sound, so he dropped the label and is now signed to his own label Dirtee Stank.

Marina Diamandis has spoken of how her hair fell out during a bad hair treatment in America, forcing her to wear a wig for nearly a year.

The singer, who this week was furious at her record label for pulling her new video because she looked 'ugly' in it, revealed that she wore the wig after she was left with just two-inches of hair on her head.

"It literally fell out. I went to this hairdresser in LA before a shoot, and she just f***** it up," she tells The Sun newspaper.

"She was blowdrying my hair and said: 'You've got a bit of breakage at the back.'

"I looked around and a lot had just snapped off at two inches. A week later I had it all cut really short."

The singer was then forced to wear a wig for promotional duties, fooling fans with a realistic hairpiece.

I bought a wig and painted the roots black and wore a ribbon over it, so it looked natural. And the ribbon became part of my look," she added. "I wore the wig for nine months. Nobody knew."
