She has also admitted that the hair in the photo is indeed extensions, but they were only used for the ~photo~.

Her real ponytail in the pic below was being packaged for donation, so she used extensions for the insta.

She spoke to Seventeen.comsaying, “The locks of hair in the Instagram photo was used as reference to show how many inches I cut,” she explained.

“At the time of the photo, my real hair was being collected to make a ponytail because I had intended on donating it.”

She then found out she couldn’t donate her hair, and that’s why she took the photo down.

Now, she’s “discussing potential opportunities with a local hospital.”
