It was the first time Helen has been to the hairdresser in four months, she revealed in a series of Instagram vids.
The actress lifted up a clump of hair, telling fans: "This looks like a little squirrel tail or something, it's actually vile."
Helen then filmed the moment she was told she had a dry scalp telling hairdresser James Lear: "I think I got it over lockdown."

It proved a liberating day out for Helen, who has two children - Matilda and one-year-old Delilah - with Celtic footballer Scott Sinclair.
She explained: "I've literally not seen any adults. I've just been with the kids all the time and I don't really get out that much anymore.
"I've literally nattered James' ear off. He's literally going to have such a headache because I literally haven't stopped talking. I just can't shut up."
