"Baywatch" alum Nicole Eggert is shaving her head amid her breast cancer battle.
In a video posted to her Instagram Thursday,NovaQuant Eggert used a pair of clippers to buzz her head bald several months after she revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in an episode of her Perfectly Twisted with Nicole Eggert podcast.
Eggert smiled at the camera before picking up the clippers.
"Maybe healing involves not so much changing ourselves but allowing ourselves to be who we are - Madeleine Eames," Eggert captioned the heartfelt post, in which she shaved off her locks to the tune of the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right."
The star's 12-year-old daughter, Keegen, helped shave Eggert's head before the actress took over again. The video ended with Eggert rubbing her head before photos appeared of the mother-daughter duo embracing.
Three weeks ago, Eggert posted a video of a hairstylist cutting her hair into a pixie cut, writing on Instagram, "Stay one step ahead of ur fears and u will never be defeated." She added, "Thank u to @michelledavidhair for laughing along with me and giving me this cute new do when I was just going to shave it all off 💕."

Nicole Eggert's 'heart dropped' after she felt a lump in her breast
Eggert, who played Summer Quinn in the early '90s on "Baywatch," told People magazine in January that she was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer.
"Listen, I cried, I went to the deepest darkest thoughts. I’ve really been through it," she said on her podcast, which came out the same day as her People interview.
"But I'm through to the other side. I've found a great oncologist that I really like," Eggert said at the time. "I'm doing all further testing this week. ... We're doing every MRI, CT, ultrasound scan, everything you can do."
"I have a road ahead of me," she added.
Eggert said she was religious about getting "my mammograms, like clockwork, every December," but confessed on her podcast that she doesn’t "normally" do breast self-exams, instead relying on her annual gynecologist appointments.
"I just don't bother," she said, because "I have these dreaded implants – that, you know, it's my biggest regret in life – but I have them and it can kind of get in the way if you're doing your own self-exam."
When she started feeling "a lot of pain" on her left side around fall 2023, she examined her breasts. "In the shower, I was doing the exam and I felt it and my heart dropped," she said. Eggert said a friend, who was her general practitioner, encouraged her to get a mammogram after the actress discovered the lump.
