Kate Moss' hair extension has been sold on auction website eBay for £637.

The supermodel lost the blonde hairpiece as she tried to hide from paparazzi during a night out in Berlin, Germany, last month.

Following Kate's escape from Berlin's Hotel Adlon - where she was promoting the release of her new perfume Velvet Hour - photographer John Farr picked up the 15cm by 30cm extension and put it on eBay to raise money for anti-drug charity Keine Macht den Drogen (No Power to Drugs).

In the item description, listed as 'Kate Moss Haarteil Extensions', Farr said: "I hope Kate doesn't mind. I did not have time to ask her because she was in quite a hurry."

Kate, 34, is no stranger to using hair extensions, and often uses them to make her fine blonde hair appear more voluminous.

Other celebrities who rely on hairpieces include Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton, who have both released their own ranges of false locks.
