Marina Diamandis wore a wig for nine months after hairdresser accident

Marina Diamandis has revealed that she wore a wig for nearly a year because of a hairdressing mishap.

Speaking to The Sun, the Marina and the Diamonds star said that a dodgy haircut in the US made her locks "literally fall out" - meaning that she had to cut it short to mask the accident.

She then wore a wig for nine months to cover up the short hair before it naturally grew back again. Diamandis said:

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

She added: "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. I wore the wig for nine months. Nobody knew. It's only now that my hair is long enough to look natural. Wigs are fun, but I never felt beautiful in a wig. So I'm glad to have my own hair back."
