Miley Cyrusis something of a hair chameleon she never sticks with one style for long.
In fact, the pop superstar has been on a real hair journey over the years.
For fans, analyzing Cyrus' many hair looks over the years has become something of a passion.
In fact, even Cyrus herself has commented on her fans' obsession with her hair.
Let’s take a look at the singer’s many hair transformations over the years.
At the time, the then-12-year-old actor had fairly natural hair.
“It got weird.
It just felt like …
I was grown up.”
However, wearing wigs was also eye-opening for Cyrus.
In hindsight, she realized they had taught her a lot.
“Wearing a wig on set taught me to respect drag queens at a very young age!”
she toldEllea few years later in 2022.
In 2007, the then-15-year-old singerbroke up with her first boyfriend, Nick Jonas.
It was so hard that she decided she needed a dramatic change and that change involved black hair dye.
After crying for “a month straight,” Cyrus decided to dye her hair pitch black.
We loved to see it.
As it turns out, Cyrus achieved the Rapunzel-esque look with extensions.
In 2013, the singer explained toHarper’s Bazaarthat her hair was “never real.”
“I have 350 extensions in my hair,” she said.
“That wasn’t real, none of it was ever real.
That was not growing out of my head.”
Way to burst our bubble, Miley!
At least the star was honest about all the help she got to achieve those ultra long brown waves.
At the time, Cyrus was working in Philadelphia.
Even though she transformed, someone still recognized her that evening.
“I started buzzing, which is getting shorter and shorter,” she said.
Cyrus went on to discuss the public’s reaction to her new hair.
After fans saw the chop, many were annoyed but Cyrus wasn’t bothered.
“It’s so nice,” she gushed.
“Don’t you, like, love having it short?
I feel like when you wake up your hair’s always done.”
She added, “The dirtier my hair is the more I like it.”

“But I’m going to rock it while I have it.”
By 2015, Cyrus' hair was growing long again, and she got very creative with styling it.
She often wore it up, and the longer pieces were getting longer.
She also concealed her growing hair with updos and ponytail extensions to give the illusion of longer hair.
Let’s just say it didn’t go so well.
As she went on to explain, it didn’t exactly go as planned.
Yikes, talk about hair dye regret!
We love a themed hairstyle, and Cyrus definitely pulled off this bold, beachy look!
We have to say, 2018 was definitely Cyrus' most “normal” hair year in a while!
However, in March 2019, she appeared with a dramatic set of long, feathered bangs.
“Living it up with @mileycyrus,” she wrote in the caption.
In anotherInstagrampost, she wrote, “JUST BANGED MILEY.”
“She was getting a lot of press this week … thanks to ME!”
The singer went for the bold, choppy mullet look in 2020.
She debuted the hair onInstagram, writing, “New Hair.
Cyrus later spoke toJimmy Kimmelabout her controversial new look.
Then, she explained that the mullet had come about during the pandemic.
That style, of course, was a classic ’70s mullet.
So, Cyrus was left looking an awful lot like her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Sounds like this mullet was destiny!
After being blond for most of her career, she began to crave going brown again.
As Cyrus explained, Parton was horrified when she suggested going back to her natural brunette.
“I’ve never seen Dolly actually scared before,” Cyrus said.
“She acted like I told her the worst news you could imagine.
She clutched her pearls, gasped, and went back,” she recalled.
Apparently, Parton then told Cyrus that she had to stay blond so that she would look like her.
So I will be blond.”
“Your stunning heart was shown in every stitch.
I love you & am so proud.
Now give me everything,” she wrote in anInstagramcaption.
She debuted this more daring look at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards.
Maybe this was a compromise that Cyrus' godmother, Dolly Parton, could get on board with!
At the Grammy Awards, the singer appeared with a super voluminous blowout.
Her dark blond hair was styled in a mane-like poofy style that recalled famous ’60s superhero Barbarella.
However, asBob Recine, Cyrus' stylist, explained toInStyle, this wasn’t a purely nostalgic look.
According to Ashley Jackson, a fashion journalist, Cyrus' super big hair carried a lot of meaning.
“There’s power in a woman who wears her hair that big,” she told theBBC.
“Western culture is about true grit and character.”
As for Cyrus, it seems she was a big fan of her hair, too.
In anInstagrampost about the evening, she wrote, “I’d like to personally thank my hair.”
