Britney Spears wanted to shave her head months before taking the plunge, her former assistant has claimed.
The star shocked fans in February when she chopped off her own hair during a visit to a salon in LA.
But Kalie Machado claimed Spears had been thinking about going bald for months, saying: "There were two times she wanted to shave her head. I was like 'Britney, it's probably not the best idea'.
"The first time we were driving and she was like 'Pull over to the salon'. She didn't go through with it in the end. I wasn't there the second time, when she went through with it."
She added: "I still don't know why she did it - she never told me. She was forced into rehab before she got the chance."
