“America’s Next Top Model” contestant Renee Alway showed up in a Palm Springs courtroom for her burglary case with a shaved head.

Alway’s sister told TMZ that the modelling contestant buzzed off her hair because she wants to “start over” and convince the judge she has changed for the better. It appears the troubled Alway also hated how her hair looked in the shocking mug shot of her that was released last week by the Palm Springs Police department.

Alway – a finalist in cycle eight of Tyra Banks’ long-running model competition – was arrested June 28 in Palm Springs, California after a six-hour standoff with police at a condominium, according to reports. She was allegedly spotted walking around an empty home while carrying a gun.

The 27-year-old modeling contestant was arrested on a string of charges including burglary, fraud and possession of a controlled substance, Palm Springs police said in a statement.

It was Alway’s third arrest this year, police told KTLA News. She is due in court in August.

Before “ANTM,” Alway was a stay-at-home mom to her young son, Troy.
