She went to extreme lengths for a transformation shared on social media. 

And Evangeline Lilly completely shaved her head during a series of videos shared to Instagram throughout the weekend.

The 40-year-old actress asked her fans if she should 'stop or keep going' after already trimming her tresses to a short bob.

She added: 'For those of you that follow me on The Squickerwonkers, you already know,' alluding to the children's book series she began publishing in 2014.  

However, it seems the Ant-Man And Wasp star kept going after the video ended.

And for those who don't know her books, she posted a snap of her shaved head on Instagram on Saturday as she sat in the passengers seat of a car.

Evangeline captioned it, simply: 'Hello. It's a BEAUTIFUL day.'

It seemed the majority of her followers liked her new look, with just a few fans asking what inspired the cut.

But the Lost star didn't indicate on social media why she cut her hair.

However, she has a number of projects coming up, so the new look could be part of her preparation for any number of roles.
