Last time she underwent a dramatic image overhaul Helen Flanagan faced the wrath of Coronation Street bosses.
But now she's free from the soap the actress is making the most of having her hairstyle how she pleases.
And this time she's opted for long dark flowing hair rather than the short peroxide pixie cut she previously donned.
Long locks: Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has debuted some new long hair extensions during an outing in London on Friday
The 21-year-old stepped out to show off the new look on Friday as she beamed for the cameras.
It was only a few days ago that she was seen looking dowdy with a bare face and messy scraped back hair.
And although it was a welcome change from her over styled demeanour, Helen clearly had gone too far with her make-under.
But she's back to her styled best following a lengthy trip to the hairdressers.
Changing image: She was last seen with shorter scruffier hair on Tuesday, but she's now undergone yet another image overhaul
Flanagan was seen heading back to her hotel in London with the 800 extensions.
And she appeared to have also added some fake tan to her skin to get rid of her pasty look from Tuesday.
Although she still appeared mainly make-up free, the soap star looked much more healthy with her latest look.
Her long tresses were teamed up with some skinny jeans and a black faux fur jacket.
Former look: Last time Helen adopted a completely different hair style she was on a break from Corrie and went for a short bleached crop
And she brightened the look up with a large purple leather bag, while going for comfort in some flat black shoes.
Appearing to gear herself up for the transformation, Helen wrote on Twitter earlier today: 'London Bound... Let's do this x.'
Helen left Corrie just a couple of weeks ago, leaving her free to change her looks however she pleases.
Screen look: How we're used to seeing her as Rosie Webster on the ITV show
But last time she was on hiatus from the show she reportedly infuriated programme chiefs by completely changing her look which she adopted to play Rosie Webster in the show.
The actress opted for cutting her brunette shoulder length hair off into a pixie cut before bleaching it almost white.
Altering styles: Helen's adopted a number of different images over the last few years
She insisted TV bosses were happy with the look because she would return to the programme three months later with Rosie attempting to make it as a model with a different image.
But she was reportedly told to change her locks back to brown.
A source said at the time: 'They've said they don't want such a huge change for the character. It'll take her hours at the hairdresser - she's gutted.'
After looking in the mirror I hope she asked for a refund.
