Actress Lindsay Lohan did not lose her hair extensions when she was booked at a California jail last week, despite earlier reports to the contrary, The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said Lohan’s hair extensions were not removed because they were bonded into her hair. Extensions that are detachable are removed from inmates, he said.
Whitmore’s statement corrects previous media reports that the “Mean Girls” actress burst into tears when prison wardens ripped out her hair extensions upon entering the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California.
Lohan was jailed on July 20 for 90 days for violating the terms of her probation.
Officials maintain that Lohan, 24, did not receive special treatment because her hair extensions were sewn in near her scalp and therefore were not easily removable.
