Michèle Laroque’s Unforgettable Hair Disaster: “Not the Cut I Wanted!”

This year, Dessange Paris was once again a partner at the Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival, which took place from January 13 to 19, 2025. During the event, the brand showcased behind-the-scenes hair preparation of celebrities through TikTok videos. It was in one of these videos that Michèle Laroque shared a hair-related incident from the early 2000s.

While filming the movie Pédale Dure released in 2004, “Director Gabriel Aghion wanted me to have thick, long hair so they fitted me with heavy extensions,” shared Laroque, who has been known for her signature bob for many years. The outcome? Her natural hair suffered. “So I ended up with the big, long hair, but by the end of the movie, I was left with almost nothing because it broke all my real hair,” she explained before adding, “I had to cut my hair really short, and it wasn’t the look I wanted.”

Indeed, the weight of adhesive extensions can jeopardize the scalp and promote hair loss as they are attached directly to the roots. To avoid such hair troubles, other extension techniques are available, such as weaving, keratin treatments, or clips. However, it’s crucial to occasionally give your hair a break, especially if you have fine hair like Michèle Laroque!

Regardless of having short or long hair, Michèle Laroque remains stunning. Her fans would definitely agree. “She ages gracefully“, “Very pretty like that“, and “At 64, I think she’s fabulous, I hope to look like her at that age“, are some of the comments found under the Dessange Paris video.
