Ruth Langsford defended by fans over 'awful' messages as she teases huge transformation

Ruth Langsford has been defended by her fans after being subject to 'awful' messages after giving a glimpse of her latest trip to the salon. The Loose Women star is often seen sporting her blonde locks in a short, coiffed style and she wanted to show her followers exactly how it was done.

Posting a video to Instagram, Ruth could be seen sitting in the hairdresser's chair as she filmed the process of getting her extensions replaced. But at the start of the clip, the presenter could be seen sporting the long tresses before they were cut and teased a possible change in the message alongside her video.

"Got my extensions replaced today by the lovely @_graceahmad @leobancroft salon," Ruth typed. "Always tempted to keep it long but only really have them for volume not length….maybe one day I’ll surprise you with long, golden locks!!"

But many flocked to the comments and suggested Ruth wasn't helping her hair by repeatedly having extensions. And after seeing the messages, the 63-year-old's loyal followers jumped to her defence. @mrs__leahy said: "Omg I cannot believe these comments, normally I wouldn’t read them but Iv just read every single comment! I’m so shocked from people saying it looks terrible, why bother, too old for long hair?"

She went on: "I cannot believe what I have just read thro if I’m honest & these were just a few… then saying she never replies to anything but no one’s asked her a question! I’m just gobsmacked that women can be so very nasty I cannot believe 90% of the comments on here are from women come on ladies there really is no need for it, nastiness is so unattractive & just nasty why follow Ruth why allow yourself to even write this stuff on her post."

Honestly take a look at yourself before you comment or have an opinion on another woman’s decisions, is your comment necessary? Is it kind? Cmon surely in 2023 we should be moving on from this behaviour."

@debbybol commented: "If you don’t have anything nice to say people, don’t say anything at all, looks lovely Ruth." @lynnfleming437 posted: "Some of these comments. Why can't women be kinder to each other??"

Married at First Sight relationship expert Mel Schilling also got involved in supporting Ruth as she messaged: "Looks fabulous Ruth - us *women of a certain age* need to talk more about wearing hair extensions! I’ve worn them for over a decade (not the same set) and they give me the confidence boost I need. Whatever it takes, right?"
