Did she ever finish school? She said she dropped out at 14. In the US there is a GED program to finish without the full high school diploma. I've never heard why she left home so early.

In her own words from many other interviews:
She left school and home to move in with an adult boyfriend whilst being supported by an uncle. She has willingly and happily described herself as "jailbait" during this period. Its difficult to talk about this without sounding victim blaming but I am using her own words which, willingly and almost always smugly shared with a tone of being not-like-other-teenagers.

She's toned a few things down in her origin story these days. I think what was 'cool' even a few years ago just isn't now. Including an obviously predatory 'boyfriend' (you don't sound victim blaming btw and Sali most certainly was the victim) and how she got her Guardian job. Publicly stabbing a fellow female writer in the back isn't quite the hilarious anecdote any more.
 
She was the victim, yes, even if she doesn't self describe in this way. She has also been extremely lucky on her path in life - and it is purely luck, plus access to family finance and the luck of being around in a gold paved era during which she came to journalism, not her writing talent (lol), which lands where she is today. There is of course zero acknowledgement of this luck. Never one ounce of acknowledgement that a 14 year old girl moving to / being trafficked to London with zero qualifications would not end up working at The Guardian today perhaps wouldn't go amiss.

Yes, and I don’t think she’s doing this on purpose, but not acknowledging that is a bit irresponsible imo.

Am I right in thinking that in this pic (and throughout the video) you can see the 'join' between her own hair and the extensions? It looks as if her own - presumably highly porous - hair has picked up more purple tint than the extensions.

You’re definitely right, and once you see it, it’s actually pretty pronounced. Here are a couple more ss. Her makeup throughout looks really thick and orange too. Not sure if it’s just the lighting or that her makeup was really thick and orange. Not a great look all round, and that’s before the snippy answers

Edit to ask serious but probably silly question-if most/all of that length is extensions, why does it always look so straggly and like it needs a good cut and condition? How/why does that happen?

I totally agree. The Lauren Luke story has been sanitised and she claims that LL was leaving anyway. But the other versions of the story included the Twitter pile on (various other writers like Caitlin Moran joining in to agree that the beauty column was terrible) and the unforgettable line “if you don’t know anything about beauty, it teaches you nothing. If you do it’s kind of laughing at you”. She must think we’re idiots as we’ve all heard the original story dozens of times and have seen the receipts and we know it doesn’t link up with what she’s now claiming about LL leaving anyway

Oh and shame on that editor who allowed all of this to happen in the public eye of Twitter and who asked Sali if she could do better and tossed LL aside. Just shows you how fickle that world is. I wonder does Sali realise this now that her writing jobs aren’t as frequent as before?

I'm baffled by that too. Extensions are only in for three, possibly four, months. How do they get to be so damaged looking so quickly?

The extensions wouldn't have been subjected to bleach during that time. The usual routine would be: take out the old extensions, bleach the roots (inevitably overlapping with the old bleach, hence the breakage), put in new extensions. It must be the constant heat straightening. It does seem to suggest that none of those products - moisturising serum, heat protectant, Living Proof bond repair - is working.

But her extensions will have been bleached to get that colour in the first place.

What I understand is that extensions (at least the type her extensionist uses) is hair that comes from hair 'donated' to Indian temples. So very dark brown/black originally. The colour is then entirely stripped from the hair. Irrespective of whether the hair is going to end up as light or dark extensions, it all goes through this colour stripping process. The hair is then dyed.

Although the extensions I had were mostly light brown, they would have gone through the same colour stripping process as the blonde ones SH has. My extensions were in perfect condition and remained so throughout the three/four months.

On 25 November her extensionist posted a video putting in her extensions. A week or so later she posted a video showing her healthy looking new extensions (left pic). A week or so after that someone posted a pic of her at a Christmas drinks thing (right pic). The change seems tp be a grey-ish/brown-ish tint but also something - brutal straightening? - that makes them look damaged. Could be the look she was going for?

I disregard the colour due to lighting differences

the new-in extensions look candyflossy to me.
