Last week TMZ revealed a photo of a hairbrush Halle submitted to the court which she says contains strands that prove her ex deliberately altered their daughter's hair.

The website said the hair had been analysed by a lab and evidence had been found of chemical use.

It reported: 'The lab went on to say the repeated use of chemicals took their toll, writing there was "extensive damage ... likely the cumulative effect of repeated exposure to numerous gentle bleaching treatments."
