Marina (And The Diamonds) Diamandis Wore Wig For 9 Months

Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis, a.k.a Marina and the Diamonds, has confessed that she wore a wig for nine months - because an LA-based hairdresser ruined her hair by mistake.
The star was in Los Angeles last November having her hair cut and treated, when her hairdresser ‘fucked up’ and left with a lot of missing hair - resulting in Marina cutting her hair really short the following week.
After purchasing a wig to cover-up her unfortunate ‘do, Marina accidentally created a brand new look - a look which she continued to use. This meant that she had to wear the same wig for nine months, until her hair grew back long to ‘look natural’.
“It literally fell out," Marina told The Sun. “I went to this hairdresser in LA before a shoot, and she just fucked 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.
“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.”
