Hair we go! Naomi Campbell covers up her receding hairline with afro wig as she appears on The Graham Norton Show

She revealed thinning hair on the sides of her head when she stepped out earlier this month.

But it seems Naomi Campbell has found a novel way to keep her hair loss hidden as she appeared on The Graham Norton Show wearing an afro wig.
In a preview of the show, which will air on Friday evening, the 43-year-old is seen proudly showing off her latest hair ‘do.

The world-famous model can’t seem to get enough of her hair, puffing it up as she chats away on the sofa alongside Ant and Dec.
 Looking like a sexy Seventies siren Naomi wore a low-cut black dress featuring sequins that revealed her long, slender legs as she sat down on the sofa for a chat.
It was recently reported that years of wearing tight hairdos and weaves has caused Naomi's hair to disappear.

Earlier this  month Naomi accidently revealed the extent of her hair loss when a gust of wind pushed her hair off her face.
The hairpiece she wore nearly disguised (what experts call) traction alopecia, the condition caused by years of wearing weaves, over processing hair, and applying glues.
It can take between three months to a year for hair to grow back in moderate cases, but if the pulling continues the hair will never grow back and the only option is a hair transplant.
This is not the first time Naomi has sparked concern with her thinning hair, as the supermodel, originally from Streatham, South London, has worn straight extensions over her naturally curly hair for a number of years.

Stars including Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Britney Spears and Alexandra Burke are all reported to have suffered traction alopecia as a result of hair extensions.
Speaking in August 2012 about Naomi's thinning hair - which caused a media storm when she was spotted with a large reseeding hairline while on holiday in Ibiza - celebrity hair extensions expert Tatiana Karelina, said: 'The interesting thing to note is that traction alopecia doesn't progress like other hair diseases.
'At the initial stages it is reversible but prolonged tension may destroys the hair follicles and will not re-grow under any circumstances.
'It is unclear from the pictures if Naomi's condition is permanent but given the time that has passed since she was first spotted with this condition it is more than likely that the damage she has suffered is permanent.'
Watch Naomi on The Graham Norton Show at 10.35pm on Friday on BBC1.
