Laura Byrne is 'going bald', and according to her, The Bachelor is to blame. The 38-year-old Bachelor alum was chatting to her Life Uncut podcast host Brittany Hockley about her recent diagnosis with a stress related scalp condition. After seeking professional help from a hair specialist, Laura revealed that she's been diagnosed with Telogen effluvium, which causes hair to thin or fall out.

'It actually started off the back of The Bachelor. I went through this, like, ridiculous amount of stress when that show finished, that I lost a copious amounts of hair,' she said. 'That was the very first time I ever went and saw a hair specialist.'. 'Now, over the years, it's been getting progressively worse. And I would say at the moment it's the worst it's ever been. It's no longer going through fluctuations of improving. I'm just going bald.'.

'And if you ever see me not wearing my hair in a bun, it's because I have some very heavy-duty extensions clipped in, by someone who is much better at doing hair than I am. 'They have worked their magic to try and make it look as full as possible, but from the back it's not going great.'.
