Go long, like Strictly’s Shirley

Why the surprise at Strictly judge Shirley Ballas having hair extensions at the age of 61 (Mail)? I was diagnosed with cancer five years ago and lost a lot of my shoulder-length hair during treatment. happily, I am fully recovered. I am 74 and continue to have hair extensions because I love them and they are a great moralebooster. I am indebted to my wonderful hairdresser.
