She has gone through several dramatic images changes of late.
But Corrie star Helen Flanagan is sticking to her latest brunette pixie crop.
She
spent some time inside a Manchester salon yesterday getting her locks
in order after it appeared she came under pressure from soap bosses to
lose the blonde look.

She teamed her casual look with a bright shade of red lipstick, aviator sunglasses and ballet pumps.
She looked a far cry from her glamour model character from the street.
The
actress took a three month break from the soap in April and shortly
afterwards underwent a total transformation with an edgy peroxide cut.
And although it seemed to make
the 20-year-old happy, Corrie producers saw it as an unlikely style
that her soap character Rosie Webster would have opted for.
At the time, it appeared Corrie bosses were
supportive, with a spokesperson saying: 'We love Helen's look and knew she was
having it done. It will be mentioned in some way on her return.'

However, on reflection, producers decided the
blonde style wouldn't work and ordered Flanagan to change it back last
month.
A soap insider told a Sunday newspaper:
'They've said they don't want such a huge change for the character. It'll take
her hours at the hairdresser - she's gutted.'
The actress, who took time off to spend time
with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, is currently planning her 21st
birthday party next month.
She has been dating Swansea City player for the past 18 months, after meeting when the striker was on loan to Wigan from Chelsea.
And things continue to be on the up for Helen as she has reportedly signed a new £70,000 a year deal in March.
