While most Stranger Things fans can agree that no one's fashion sense was more tragic than Barb's, Eleven's distinctive hairdo was hard to miss.

The young actress who played Eleven, Mille Bobby Brown, bravely shaved her head for the role. And while that was old news by the time the series debuted on Netflix in July, Brown decided on Sunday to share a video of that momentous occasion.

She had so much hair. Can you believe it? Good on Brown for letting go in the name of portraying an authentic character.

The Stranger Things kids have gotten a lot of play on social media in recent weeks. Brown, along with co-star Finn Wolfhard -- he played Mike Wheeler in the series -- both participated in the "22 Push-Up Challenge" to raise awareness of the suicide rate among military veterans.

Then there was the video of 13-year-old Gaten Matarazzo -- who played Dustin -- absolutely crushing a performance of "Bring Him Home," from Les Miserables.
