BRITNEY SPEARS: PLEASE DITCH THE TOXIC EYELINER!

She keeps TRYING, but Britney Spears, 39, cannot compete with her boyfriend Sam Asghari’s extraordinary -and flattering- Instagram posts. Sam must have professional photoshoots every week because his social media is loaded with self promoting- and sexy -pics of his muscles and handsome face in beautiful lighting. Britney’s pics are limited to selfies taken at unflattering angles. Brit recently made a fuss over her new “haircut” -“In with the old – out with the new!” she declared. Actually it looks like she had her old long hair extensions removed and is giving her scalp a break. Her hair does look better, but what we’d like to see her remove is that black makeup around her eyes.

IT’S HARD WORK BEING A GIRL

Brazilian born Jessica Alves (formerly Rodrigo Alves) is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to self-glamorization. When he gave up the idea of looking like a Ken doll, Rodrigo endured multiple surgeries to morph into a trans-female and (12 nose-jobs later) his nose has almost entirely disappeared, while his/her chest seems to inflate daily. (As you can see, Jessica has no qualms about discussing or displaying her surgeries) Just putting on all that makeup in the morning must be a daunting task. Alves has been living in London where she recently had a lip lift and chin surgery. Above, Jessica is having about eight pounds of long extensions attached to her head -ouch! Might be time for some body dysmorphia therapy…

RODDY ALVES: IT’S NOT EASY BEING FEMALE!

Rodrigo Alves has a few things to learn about being a woman. “Roddy” has been experimenting with makeup and high heels for quite awhile, but didn’t have much experience with hair – except for male hair augmentation. Now that Roddy’s transgender, it’s a whole new ball game and he’s getting off to a bad start. Alves has the FAKEST looking extensions we’ve seen in a LONG time – they seem to have nothing to do with his real hair. Even before he gets his Adam’s apple shaved, Roddy should invest in a talented hairdresser!

THE HUMAN KEN DOLL WANTS MORE HAIR

There’s not much of his nose left to worry about, so Rodrigo “Human Ken Doll” Alves has started fretting about his hair. He flies around the world seeking better and more affordable cosmetic surgeons for his assorted self -improvements. Alves, 36, says he’s suffering from male pattern baldness and finds it quite depressing. He’s already had four hair transplants to lower his hairline and thicken his hair, but he appears to have added some hair extensions since we saw him last. He just arrived in Istanbul for another procedure, but didn’t mention exactly what it is. His wardrobe could use some improvement too…

MICKEY ROURKE: THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

Okay, we admit it- we have a weird fascination with Mickey Rourke’s evolving appearance. For quite awhile, Mickey’s ever-changing face (due to cosmetic surgery) was the focus of our curiosity. But for the past few years, it has been Mickey’s HAIR that attracts attention. He started with a few extensions and worked his way up to full wigs. It’s his odd placement of the hairpieces, even more than the odd style, that draws attention. In this photo he’s having a chat with his hairdresser Guiseppe Franco – how DOES Franco resist the urge to reach out and re-align that wig?

JESSICA SIMPSON’S HAIR EXTENSIONS: BIGGER IS NOT BETTER!

No doubt Jessica Simpson is in a good mood because she’s pregnant with her third child and that means she can eat pretty much ANYTHING she wants for a long time! And no guilt! That’s nice, BUT – these HUGE hair extensions are beyond awful – not only fake looking, but sadly out of style- ESPECIALLY in NYC! We realize Jessica is in the business of SELLING these extensions, but it’s hard to imagine anyone running out to buy them when they see this photo!

BRITNEY SPEARS LOOKS LIKE SHE’S SINGLE AGAIN

A couple of things came to mind when we came across this photo of Britney Spears and her bodyguard in Paris. First, it’s been over a month since Britney and her handsome boyfriend Sam Asghari have been seen anywhere together – so what’s happening? Tomorrow night Britney performs at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris for 20,000 fans and she’s got all her hair extensions in place. (She HAS been known to lose some extensions onstage) A former hairdresser of Britney’s told us that the heavy extensions are ruining her own hair – pulling it out by the roots – and she has bald patches. He thinks she should wear wigs onstage to save her own hair.

RUMER WILLIS: WHEN HAIR EXTENSIONS GO WRONG

Rumer Willis is rocking a new set of long thick extensions and they aren’t doing her any favors – they look dreary. Her mother Demi Moore actually looks better in long hair. Maybe the extensions are for a film – to her credit, Rumer IS a working actress. She not only appears on the TV series Empire, but she has two horror movies coming out this year. It can’t be easy having two successful actors for parents…

MOHAMED HADID’S BEAUTY SECRET

It appears that Mohamed Hadid has learned a thing or two from his successful model daughters Gigi and Bella. The girls have more than a passing acquaintance with hair extensions, and their dad figured “Why not me too?” His hair started thinning a few years ago and instead of having surgery or getting a toupee, he got extensions of his own. They work out well for him. We ARE somewhat taken aback by the outfit Bella wore (above) while having lunch with her dad in Beverly Hills. It’s funny, you rarely see the Hadid sisters carrying a purse – only a phone…

NORTH WEST IN VAIL: TOO YOUNG FOR HAIR EXTENSIONS?

Certainly the most interesting part of the Kardashian ski trip to Vail (except for the vision of Kanye on skis) is the revelation that North West, 2, is sporting hair extensions in braids. The trip appears to have been planned solely for the benefit of reality show cameras rather than genuine family fun. North’s long hair created quite a stir online. The female members of the Kardashian family have long depended on hair augmentation, but isn’t TWO rather young to start? Children’s hair is so fine that it could be quite damaging. Can false eyelashes be far behind?
