Life is too short to hide your beauty. Let the world see you shine!” she wrote alongside the slide of pictures.
She then filmed a TikTok video explaining herreason for the major change.
“So what I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time is to donate my hair to a charity that makes wigs for people that have hair loss or that are going through cancer,” she shared, adding that she plans to send her locks toThe Great Cut.
The charity is partnered with Children with Hair Loss, whichprovides hair replacementsto children with medically-related hair loss at zero cost to their families.

“For me, not having hair was really hard on my self-esteem. So, I just want to do something to help other people that are going through issues with hair loss because I know the only time that I ever felt beautiful is when I was wearing a wig,” Gypsy explained while sharing an old photo of her without hair.
