It looked real

Though, in the film's trivia in IMDb it says
Millie Bobby Brown had to shave most of her hair off for the show. As can be expected of any 11 year old girl, it was a terrifying prospect. The Duffers showed her how c5b4ool Charlize Theron looked in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), after which Millie agreed to it. -

Actually this is a pretty common misconception. You'd be surprised what they can do in post production these days. I imagine during filming her hair was shoulder length as you will see in her IMDB picture. Before going on set she would have worn a hair net filled with microscopic nodules which use static electricity to temporarily 'shrink' the hair. Later, the net is replaced by a realistic looking short hair using computer resolution techniques. It may seem like a lot of effort to go to, but if it helps keep a smile on a little girl's face then I think we'd all agree it's worth it

How ridiculous. Didn't you watch the show? 11 had super powers. She could shrink and grow hair with her mind.

I'm sure this is occasionally done for big stars but for an unknown actress in a first season of a TV show, I highly doubt they'd go to the trouble. Why would they bother when there are at least a thousand other little girls, all lined up, dying to play the part who'd have no problem sheering off their hair.

She is really young, and for a big role, of course she would cut her hair off.
I've read more than once that she was reluctant and they showed her film of Charlize Theron from Mad Max, and you have to admit she looked fantastic with short hair.
By the way, Charlize Theron gained a lot of weight and looked horrible when she shot Monster the true story of a female serial killer. She won an Oscar for that.
Many actors have lost or gained a lot of weight for roles, including Robert di Niro, Chrostopher Bales, Adrien Brody for the Pianist and an Oscar. It's part of what you do.
I think it was very convincing that they used Charlize Theron clips as she looked fantastic for that role. They also bandaged up her breasts to conceal her model's body.
