Bowen recently made headlines when she chopped off her long hair in November, opting for a cute pixie cut. She explained she decided on the big change because she heard of a little girl that wanted to look like a princess but felt she couldn't because she didn't have long hair. The actress wrote in a post on social media that she wanted the little girl and others to realize that it's your "insides that count."

The singer and actress explained that she was diagnosed at the age of 4 with end stage nephroblastoma, a kidney cancer that is common in children.

Bowen revealed, "I'd overheard the doctors telling my family that the only hope of saving me was an experimental treatment that might kill me anyway. But without it I had maybe two weeks left. And then I got really lucky. I survived, my hair grew back and I got strong again. I look relatively normal on the outside, but on the inside, I am still the same stitched back together little creature, in a world where people are judged so harshly for the way they look."

She thanked her network, ABC, for allowing her to cut her hair because her character on Nashville would now have short hair too.

Bowen added "If it makes even one person think twice about judging another, then in some small way, the world is better. Self-esteem takes a lot longer to grow back than hair."

The finale of Nashville will air at 9 p.m. Wednesday on ABC.
