On Saturday, Ms Kelly had her her hair lopped off by Mirror Hair Lounge's Elayna Ried, to raise money for the Narromine Cancer Support Group.
"It's fantastic, because my hair is always such a pain, it's thick and wavy, it's never an easy thing to do, so I love it," Ms Kelly said after the shave.

The Narromine Cancer Support Group is an organisation that supports people in the shire who have received a cancer diagnosis. All money raised by the organisation or the community stays within the shire to support those who need help financially and help with equipment people might need when recuperating.
As a former community nurse in Narromine, Ms Kelly said it was important to give back to the local residents to help deal with an illness that doesn't discriminate.
"When people are first diagnosed with cancer, I mean you're not planning for it," Ms Kelly said.
"The costs really are phenomenal, people don't ever take that into account."
So far Ms Kelly has raised over $2000, but hoped to raise as much as she could for the organisation, which also helped purchase equipment people might need when recuperating at home.
Ms Kelly thanked everyone who had supported her and donated.
