Egyptian actress Hala Fakher caught the attention with a video in which she appeared in a new look, and the clip turned into a “trend” in Egypt amid news that she had removed the hijab after wearing it for years.

Fakher appeared accompanied by a hairdresser, in a completely new look, with hazelnut brown hair and a very short haircut.

While the hairdresser commented, saying: “The new look,” to which Fakher responded: “The winter look does not come before winter comes.”

While some of the actress's fans pointed out that it was her first appearance without a hijab, the truth is that Fakher actually took off the hijab several years ago and presented a number of artistic works and series without it.

The veteran actress discussed the reasons for taking off the hijab during a television interview last year, stressing that it was a difficult decision for her. She said at the time: “I had to remove the hijab because I am responsible for a home and children,” referring to her having to remove it for financial reasons.

However, at the same time, she indicated that the decision was based on conviction and that she was very happy with it, stressing that her daughters are veiled. She added at the time: “The veil disabled me and reduced my job opportunities.”

It is noteworthy that the Egyptian artist’s latest works were the movie “Ibn Whom Among Them” with Laila Alawi and Bayoumi Fouad, and the series “Saidi, Mutreb, and Thief” starring Medhat Tikha, Marwa Abdel Moneim, Hossam Dagher, and Yasser Al-Tobgy.
