Model Sues Beauty Company for Causing Baldness and Disfiguring Her Head

Former New York City model Lea Encarnacion is suing a beauty company conglomerate over a 2020 incident that left her with severe scalp injuries.  

Lea was working as a hair model for the brand at a Long Beach convention when, according to her, the stylists applied a hair bleaching product but failed to remove it in time. As a result, she suffered significant scalp damage, and she has provided photos to support her claims.  

According to TMZ, Lea’s attorneys from the California firm RMD Law say that since the incident, her hair has not grown back, leaving her with permanent bald spots.  

She is suing for general negligence and product liability, with the trial set to begin this month.
