What happened to Gabby Douglas hair?
Gabby Douglas had bald spots on the back of her head and was so embarrassed and self-conscious that she tried to cover them up with a lot of clips, but it was still noticeable. Gabby Douglas had to wear her hair in a tight ponytail to practice gymnastics from a very young age, which caused her hair to become completely damaged.
