“I cried a lot, I couldn’t understand what was happening and I felt uglier than ever… for someone who used to blow-dry her hair every other day with long caramel locks, this was hard for my head to understand.
‘Now I don’t know the reason and that made me worse, but I felt so insecure that I filled my hair with colored pens and none of you knew, the sides were also falling out and it was the beginning of my internal and external transformation.
“I cut off all my hair and shaved the sides like it was a fucking moment, which it will be, and I lost the mask of hiding behind my hair for the first time in my life. Liberation.
‘I changed my diet and stuck with @arellauk because I’m amazed by her collagen…and now 6 months later my hair is BACK!!!

It comes after Malin revealed she had split from her boyfriend just two months after they became Instagram official.
The Love Island star confessed she had found love again with Swedish heartthrob Jim Sundgren in July after suffering heartbreak and abuse in her previous relationships.
However, the couple sparked split rumors after unfollowing each other on Instagram last month and now Malin has confirmed that the couple have gone their separate ways.
On her Instagram Story on Thursday, Malin wrote, “And for those messaging me about my relationship status, I am absolutely single because I promised myself I would NEVER settle.”
‘I really know what I deserve and want in a man. I see what I should be as a 32 and feel like I need to rush into doing something for the good of society, but I never will, as I love every inch of myself, to be alone for now.
Malin previously explained that she met her new boyfriend online after a “healing” period, gushing that she had “never been connected to someone like him before.”
Her last boyfriend, Jared, broke up with her just four weeks after she gave birth to their daughter, Xaya, in January 2022.
On her Instagram Story, Malin wrote, “And for those messaging me about my relationship status, I am absolutely single because I promised myself I would NEVER settle.”
While her ex-partner Tom Kemp abused her during their relationship and was jailed in 2020 for assaulting her.
Malin, who is half Swedish and half Sri Lankan, explained that her new boyfriend is also originally from Sweden and “is nothing like her usual type.”
She told New magazine: “It’s early, but I’ve never met anyone like him.” I have never been as connected to someone as I have been to him in my entire life and it makes me emotional to think about it.
‘When you’ve been through all these abusive relationships, you can heal and then you feel comfortable being alone. I got to a point where I thought, “Maybe I’ll always be alone, just me and Xaya, and I’m okay with that.” But now my heart is full.’
It’s been a tough month for the star after she and her daughter narrowly escaped with their lives after their £100,000 BMW car exploded on the motorway.
Their vehicle burst into flames moments after they ran to safety along the motorway and the true extent of the incident was revealed with horrifying images showing their car smashed and ablaze.
Malin and her daughter seemed lucky to escape unharmed, with the TV personality later commenting that they were “seconds from death.”
In her Instagram stories, Malin told how smoke started coming out of her car while she was driving on a highway with the two-year-old.

Writing a message on his stories, he wrote: ‘This morning I was driving with Xaya and my car started smoking out of nowhere.
“I took Xaya out and ran down the side of the highway in time and it exploded and caught fire minutes later.”
The beauty went on to say that she was “in shock” and will be taking some time away from social media, with a friend handling all queries.
She added: ‘In shock I’m staying here and @erintidey will answer emails or anything I need work-wise. Xaya and I are safe and sound.’
After her ordeal, Malin expressed shock that she and her daughter were on the verge of death, and revealed that she now wants “answers” from the automaker.
She told The Sun: ‘I’m not normally affected by those things, are they? I’ve had grief and all those things have happened to me, and in a way I’ve overcome it, but never anything that has put my own life with my daughter at risk. We were seconds from death.
‘Someone has always died around me, does that make sense? But feeling Xaya and I in that situation was next level. But I can’t believe they would allow a car like that on the road, a hundred thousand pound car. I want answers.’
Malin, who only had his car serviced two months ago, went on to recall how he initially became aware of a problem when he was alerted to an “engine failure” warning.
Her instincts kicked in when she smelled smoke while driving, and the TV star instantly stopped her car, threw her daughter on her back, and ran away from her daughter.
She added to the publication that while she was running, she was discovered by a former soldier named Pete, who rushed to help and put the mother and daughter in their own car for safety.
