Blonde beauty Hayden Panettiere has not always sported long flowing locks
- she spent the first three years of her life bald.
The star of the U.S. hit show Heroes admits her follicle growth was
slower than most tots.
She says, "I was completely bald until I was three. My mother had
to tie bows around my head so that I wouldn't scare other children."
While other celebrities such as Britney Spears and Mena Suvari have
opted for the bald look in recent months, Panettiere has no plans to lose
her blonde hair, saying: "I don't think it would be very
flattering."
