New style: Gail Porter shows off her new Mohican style after shaving her head following the return of her alopecia
TV presenter Gail Porter shaved her head tonight after her alopecia returned.
The Scottish star was thrilled when her hair started growing back last year after the condition left her bald for five years.
But in November, she revealed it had started falling out again.
After her hair loss sped up quite rapidly in the past few days, the 39-year-old decided to shave it off - leaving a small Mohican at the front.
She posted the before, during and after photos on her Twitter page after asking her boyfriend Jonny Davies to do the honours.
Posting a picture of herself stroking her little blonde Mohawk, she wrote: 'It's all gone!!!! Kept a Mohawk though.'
Earlier on Friday evening, she appeared unsure over what to do with her hair, admitting it was horrible waking up to find clumps of hair on her pillow.

She said: 'Hey everyone. Dilemma o'clock. My hair is falling out rapidly. Do I shave the last hair off and see if it regrows or just have hair as pics (show)?
'I'm thinking that shaving is the best option. Can't bear the thought of another morning with a pillow full of hair. Shall I YouTube it?'
An hour later, she had decided to shave her head and asked Jonny to take control of the clippers.
She wrote: 'Right... I'm going to get the clippers. Wish me luck. Will post a pic. Thanks for all your support, it's amazing. Mini me (daughter Honey) is excited.'

After posting the results on Twitter, her hairdresser Warren Holmes assured his famous client her hair would grow back.
He wrote: 'Have you done it? Assuming I'm no longer your hairdresser anymore...
Porter replied: 'You will be!!!! Once it grows back. Too much was falling out.'
He added: 'Your hair was so thick just weeks ago, it will come back. It's so sporadic.'
Regrowth: Porter (pictured left in August 2010) had a full head of hair for most of last year after losing her long blonde locks (right) in 2005
The 39-year-old presenter first lost her famous long blonde locks when she was struck with the condition in 2005, which doctors believe was triggered by stress.
This time last year, she looked as though she had beaten the condition for good when she arrived at a film premiere with her daughter Honey, seven, in January showing her hair starting to grow back.
By March, she had regained 75 per cent of her lost locks, but the regrowth was still rather patchy.
Then, in August, she appeared on the GMTV sporting a short blonde hair do and it looked as though she had finally beaten the condition.
