Zendaya Responds to New Hair Controversy

BET(LOS ANGELES) — Looks like there’s more hair drama for Zendaya. The Disney star and “Replay” singer caused a stir at Sunday’s BET Awards when she debuted a pixie-cut wig.

Many took to Twitter to criticize the 18-year-old for her new look.

Not one to stay silent, Zendaya responded on Twitter with a couple of playful selfies. “When people don’t like your hair but they tweetin bout you tho,” she wrote.

Zendaya seemed please with her entire ensemble, which included a sparkly, see-through minidress and some seriously high heels. “Yes…I’m a tall 6’4″(with these heels) skinny glass of sparkling water and I love it,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a pic of herself on the red carpet.

And when the night was over, Zendaya reminded her fans that whether they liked her latest look or not, it’s only temporary. She retweeted a video of her snatching off the wig, showing her long locks.

Zendaya’s dreadlocked hairstyle at this year’s Oscars previously drew controversy, including stinging comments from Fashion Police co-host Giuliana Rancic, who said the actress must have smelled of “patchouli” and “weed.” Zendaya blasted Rancic on Instagram for her insensitive remarks, and Rancic later apologized.
