Nyong’o, 32, admitted to Redbook that she shaved her head when she was 19 because of damage from chemical treatments.
The Mexican-Kenyan actress and film director added, "I spent days thinking about shaving it off first. Once I did it, it was very liberating, but I also felt very naked. When you feel the wind on your scalp, it’s like, ‘Oh, my God.’ But I’ve kept my hair short ever since".
