Jeremy Kyle Show to pay for burns victims’ hair extensions

Morning television favourite The Jeremy Kyle Show is teaming up with Diane Shawe of the Platinum Hair & Beauty Salon in Chingford Mount to give a full head of hair extensions to a woman who lost her hair in a fire.

Judy Bisoff – who has facial disfigurement caused by falling on her fire at home during a seizure – will receive hair extensions courtesy of television chat programme The Jeremy Kyle Show and head of training at the UK Academy of Beauty & Training Diane Shawe.

Bisoff currently has to wear her head shaven and covered with a wig. She said: "This will help me build up my confidence because I have virtually become a recluse since the accident. I find it hard to socialise, get a job or even date because I am always conscious of my hair."

She will have a lace wig makeover, designed to give full head coverage. The front of the lace wig will be bonded to her head using special hair to skin glue. The effect will be an undetectable hairline and is hoped to add much more security than a standard wig.

Shawe has 20 years' experience and is head of training in more than 16 different hair extension techniques. She is also author of What they don't tell you about getting started in the hair extensions business.
