Selma Blair Shows Fans Her Freshly Dyed Hair Now That It's Growing Back After MS Treatment
Selma Blair has always been candid about her battle with multiple sclerosis.

The Legally Blonde actress was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease in August 2018.
When this happened, she said that she cried tears of relief.

That's because it took so long for doctors to take her symptoms seriously, she revealed in an interview with Good Morning America.
Doctors also reassured Blair that she will eventually make a full recovery.

But that's not to say that the road there has been easy.
Just last July, for instance, she had to be separated from her son due to health reasons.
"I am here. I am not with my son. I am in the place of getting better," she wrote on Instagram.

"I need this boy to see me do things I never thought I could. And I will do my best. It really is gratitude."
At the time, she had entered the hospital for MS treatment.

When she was discharged, she posted a celebratory picture on Instagram, calling it her "banner day."
But fans couldn't help but notice that the star had a shaved head.

When a fan asked why that was, she revealed that she had lost her hair due to chemotherapy treatments.
When she was rocking salt-and-pepper hair months later, she further explained the short 'do.
"I cut my hair short to transition myself and my son for impending baldness," she wrote.
She added that "baldness came" and when it did, “it came in fine and pale and very sparse."

When this happened, she shaved it because βit looked too sad.β
For the past year, fans have enjoyed seeing Selma on her hair journey.

She's teaching us to embrace our hair, regardless of whether it's short, long, brown, or gray.
As for her future hair goals, Selma made it clear that she has lot of options.

βI will see how a pixie grows in. Or I will buzz again. It seems to be too much to have long hair again. So I will leave it short and grey, something I have never before wanted to do.β
Well, enough time has passed since then. This means that we finally have our answer as to what Selma ended up doing to her hair!

The new look puts her in good company with the many other celebs who have been changing up their hair while in quarantine.
When fans saw the brown, they loved it instantly.

"LOVE LOVE LOVE you as a brunette," added another.
One person, however, dared to question why Selma shaved her hair off in the first place:

Thankfully, Selma handled the comment with a classy reply:
"good evening. I went through #hsct to halt the progression of demyelination one brain and spinal cord. It is common to grow back hair a different color after chemo. Which was part of the bone marrow type of transplant."
We think she looks beautiful in any color!

And also any length!
We're wishing her all the best as she continues on her journey to recovery!
