Nicole Eggert showed off her hair growth as she treated herself to a green juice on Tuesday.
The Baywatch alum, 52, who shaved off her hair earlier this year amid her battle with breast cancer, donned a green sweatsuit and carried her belongings in two black bags as she stepped out in Los Angeles.
She carried her car keys as she trekked along the pavement in white sneakers.
The outing comes just weeks after Eggert underwent a single mastectomy.
During an appearance on the Amy & T.J. podcast, she revealed she had undergone the procedure six days prior.

Her social media indicates she had the procedure done in mid-September.
‘I did eight months of treatment. I just had a mastectomy six days ago and I will go back on treatment,’ she said on the episode.
She was initially hoping to have a double mastectomy – which would have removed both of her breasts – however ended up having a single due to her surgeon’s recommendations.
Her surgeon suggested the single so she can return to cancer treatments faster.
‘He said “I know you want the double but we also need to get you back into treatment. So let’s do the single — it will keep your immune system up higher than if we take both. You’ll be able to get into treatment quicker, we have less chance of infection and a quicker healing time,’ she said.
‘You can get back into treatment and then when we reconstruct this one [breast], we will take the other one and reconstruct them at the same time and you’ll have new boobs that aren’t trying to kill you.’
‘I could’ve said “no, do both, do both!” And he said, “you can do both, and then we find out later, it traveled, and we didn’t get to it in time and it’s growing,”‘ she said. ‘So you don’t want to be hasty. You want to be careful. You have to go with your gut.’
In terms of her plans after the mastectomy, she said: ‘My next step is to get the pathology report back from my mastectomy and then meet with my doctors and see what the next best treatment is,’ she said of her next steps.

‘I will go back into some sort of treatment for three months and then do the scans after three months of treatment. See if it’s showing up anywhere, hopefully it’s not. Then we discuss what we do from there,’ she said.
‘People ask me about reconstruction and what are you going to do and what size… I’ll be lucky enough to get to that bridge! My next steps are treatment… For now I have a $15 fake boob I wear. That’s my reconstruction for now, and I feel good about it!’ she said.
‘So it’s very much just one step at a time. But now, it’s healing, and then getting back into some sort of treatment, whatever that is,’ she said.
Eggert was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer late last year.
In August, at the premiere of her docu-series After Baywatch: Moment In The Sun, she gave an update on her health and opened up about the ‘hardest’ part of her treatment

‘I am good,’ Eggert told People. ‘I am in sort of a gray area and I finished my treatment, waiting for more imaging and hopefully maybe surgery.’
She continued: ‘And there’s a lot of waiting in this and it’s sort of something I didn’t really realize and nobody really talks about.’
‘But the gray area is the hardest because you don’t know what’s happening and you’re just, when I’m doing treatment, I felt like I was doing something productive,’ the performer added. ‘So it felt positive and I was like, okay, I’m doing something positive. And now that it’s just like nothing, it’s like, well wait a minute. We got to get this out. So it’s, it’s just frustrating.’
Amid her cancer battle, the mother-of-two noted that she keeps herself busy by working with ‘with [a] Shaman’ and doing ‘a lot of guided imagery.’
‘I’ve taken some of Jeremy’s [Jackson] classes. He teaches like the breath workshops,’ she explained.

In order to stay positive, she tries do do ‘whatever’ she can to ‘distract’ herself.
As for how her daughters Dilyn, 25, and Keegan, 13, are handling her diagnosis, the actress said they have taken it ‘really well.’
‘I mean, they kept me on my toes,’ she said. ‘My 13-year-old didn’t give me any special treatment. It was still like, “Mom, give me that, let’s go here, let’s do that“’
Eggert went on to credit her girls for keeping her ‘going’ and life ‘lively.’
She noted through her treatments, they’ve ‘treated it like nothing’s changing’ and the ‘days the way they’ were before her diagnosis.
