Dejected Yazmin Oukhellou walked to the hair salon on Saturday with her arm in a sling and was joined by her supportive mother Lisa for the low-key outing.
It comes as she continues to come to terms with the death of her ex-boyfriend Jack McLean and her near-death experience following a horrifying car crash earlier this month.
The 31-year-old TOWIE star was a passenger in the vehicle that fell 70 feet off a cliff in Bodrum, Turkey on Sunday July 3, killing Jake and inflicting serious arm injuries on her.

It comes after it was reported that Yazmin fears being left out of Jake’s funeral over tensions with his family.
It has been claimed that the couple had a heated argument at a nightclub just before the car crash, something Jake’s mother, Anita Walsh, told Turkish authorities she believed may have played a role in her son’s death.
However, Yazmin, who was seriously injured, has insisted there was no argument.

A source told The Sun: “It has become difficult for everyone involved. Yaz’s biggest fear is being asked not to go to the funeral and not being able to say goodbye to Jake.
“It was a devastating time for Jake’s family. His death is still so raw for everyone involved.
“In time, we hope they can come together and mourn their loss. But right now it’s a broken relationship.’

Web has contacted a Yazmin representative for further comments.
Last week, Yazmin opened up about how she’s “scarred for life” after the horror car crash.
The reality star suffered serious injuries to her arm when doctors told Yazmin it was a “miracle” she was alive.
Upon returning home, Yazmin broke her silence and admitted, “This will stay with me forever” while processing what had happened.

In an interview with The Sun, an emotional Yazmin shared how she struggled to understand how she survived the crash and Jake didn’t. Medics told her she was an “angel” as people would not survive the “infamous” crash site.
The traumatized star has also been unable to sleep without her mother Lisa by her side since her ordeal.
She said: “I cut an artery and a nerve, that’s why I bled so much. The doctors called me an angel, a miracle because it’s a notorious place and people never survived. Now I’m just wondering how the hell did my partner die while I survived? It made me look at life very differently.

Yazmin continued, “I’m definitely going to need therapy for a while, and I’m going to try inpatient treatment as well. I know this will stay with me forever, I have to take it slow.’
In addition to therapy, Yazmin may also need cosmetic surgery as she was left with “permanent scars”. British doctors warn she may never be able to fully use her right arm.
The TV personality intentionally broke her trapped arm to escape the impact and rush for help – while Jake lay unconscious.

She said of the prospect: “I could have been like Jake and not survived, so I’m just really grateful and happy that if this is the worst-case scenario, I’m going to deal with it as best I can. The scars I have are terrible so I will always have that as a memory. But at least I’m still alive.’
As she continues to recover from the horrific experience, Yazmin shares how her feelings are “very up and down” as she processes the grief of losing Jake.
She detailed how she had lost relatives in the past, including her beloved Nan last year, but no one she loved in an “intimate way” and admitted it was “very difficult”.

During her recovery, Yazmin is staying away from “social settings” and will not log on to social media, while she has also changed her phone number.
She emphasized that her “focus” is just getting healthy and coping with what happened to her and Jake, adding that her on-off beau is the only person she cares about “such love” felt.
The beauty went on to say that the ordeal “will be with me for the rest of my life” before noting that she loved Jake, for whom she had traveled all over the world “so much”.

After the accident, Yazmin was forced to break her arm to escape the car and find help, admitting she had “no choice” but to take drastic action.
At the time, Yazmin didn’t realize she had opened an artery but revealed that she was covered in blood as she lay upside down in the car.
Yazmin said she made sure Jake was still alive when she ran to the top of the bench they had rolled down and yelled for help.
Luckily, a man walking his dog found her immediately and rushed to the car to help, but unfortunately it was already too late by the time Yazmin said she couldn’t feel Jake’s pulse.
