Gypsy Rose Blanchard is updating her look just weeks after being released from prison.
Blanchard showed off her new hairstyle on TikTok and Instagram, writing: “It’s never too late to start reinventing yourself, even if it’s as subtle as a new hairstyle. 🩷To all girls, boys, and non-binary people… Enjoy life and express yourself in creative ways that make you happy. Life is too short to hide your beauty. Show the world how you shine⭐️
#Expressyourshine.”

In a second TikTok, she said: “So something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time was donate my hair to a charity that makes wigs for people with hair loss or cancer. I chose the Great Cut.”
“I have personal experience with hair loss, not for health reasons, but if you know my story, you know why,” she said, after explaining how she mailed her hair to the hospital. He then showed a photo of her without her hair.

Gypsy told viewers, “Not having hair has been a huge burden on my self-esteem,” and added, “I want to do something that can help other people who are going through hair loss issues.” “I’m wearing a wig.”
Blanchard encouraged her followers to donate their hair or funds to organizations that provide wigs to those in need, adding that some websites require a minimum of 8 inches.
Gypsy was recently released from prison after serving time for her role in the murder of her mother. In 2015, Gypsy's then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, stabbed Dee Dee Blanchard to death. It was a crime planned by Gypsy after years of abuse at the hands of his mother, who is believed to have suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Now, after serving more than eight years in prison, Gypsy is starting a new chapter.
'Extra' correspondent Melissa Moore, who produced the Lifetime series 'Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard,' spoke with Gypsy and her husband Ryan Anderson about their future plans. see!
