Millie Bobby Brown has gone through a a variety of hairdos for her role as Eleven on Stranger Things. But as it turns out, her favorite transformation of all was when she first got her hair shaved for the part. The 13-year-old actress took a few moments to get nostalgic on Twitter this weekend, reminiscing about her former ‘do.
“The only reason I did this was because I needed to scratch my head… looks cool though… ha,” Brown joked, alongside a GIF of her from the show.
Brown followed up by sharing a time-lapse video of her head getting shaved for the first time.
"The day I shaved my head was the most empowering moment of my whole life," she captioned the clip. "The last strand of hair cut off was the moment my whole face was on show and I couldn’t hide behind my hair like I used to. As I looked in the mirror I realized I had one job to do. Inspire."
Evidently, Millie Bobby Brown did inspire. The tweet currently has about 2,000 replies, many of which include people sharing their own photos and stories of shaving their heads and feeling empowered.
This isn’t the first time Brown has encouraged her Twitter followers. Last summer, the actress started a separate Twitter page called @MillieStopsHate, where she aims to stop bullying by spreading love and positivity. We love that Brown is using her platform for good, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
