Karrueche Tran revealed that she cut her hair and released it into the ocean along with a portion of her father's ashes in a post that was shared to her Instagram account last week.
The 34-year-old actress posted several photos to her account to show off her newly cut hair and included a shot of herself holding a braid and a container of ashes before she released them into the water.

The actress added, 'Life is really LIFING right now and it was time for me to let go of a lot of old energy.'
The Daytime Emmy-winning actress also wrote that she had been interested in taking on a new look for an extended period of time.
'I've always wanted to cut my hair short short but never had the balls to do it.. I feel like a weight has been lifted...I feel so free and I honestly love it,' she wrote.
Tran concluded her message by writing: 'Out with the old, in with the new.'
Tran included a video of her hairstylist, Cesar Deleon Ramirez, trimming off the braid that she later released into the ocean.
The actress went on to take a mirror shot to show off her new look to her 13.3 million followers.
The Bel-Air star wore a form-hugging pair of black leggings and a matching long-sleeve top while having her hair cut.
She accessorized with various articles of jewelry that gave her monotone outfit a bit of shine during her appointment with her hairstylist.
