We've all experimented in the name of beauty. Sometimes those risks are worth the reward — for example, giving up your hair color virginity [1] in the name of rainbow strands [2] or wearing colorful lipstick [3] when it isn't Halloween. But other times, the end result is worthy of serious regrets.
Miley Cyrus can seriously relate to this struggle. As you may recall, the star recently bleached her hair blond and got bangs [4]. We thought she was totally rocking her new look, but Miley apparently feels otherwise. She posted a rant to her Instagram on the subject.
"Learned a valuable lesson in this meaningless process," she stated. "Bleached my f*cking natural healthy a$$ hair rebelling out of boredom . . . something inside told me I'd regret it." Dramatically lifting your natural color [5] can result in serious strand damage, especially if you don't have the knowledge of a professional stylist, and it seems that Miley learned this fact the hard way. That said, she isn't opposed to bold new looks.
"This isn't to discredit hair cuts/color as a tool and creative way to express yourself!!!!" she exclaimed. "Don't over think it because in the end it is f*cking hair and nothing you do is detrimental and will just be a new chapter for you." We couldn't agree more, Miley! Read the singer's statement (which includes remarks on Donald Trump [6], climate change [7], and marijuana [8]) in full below.
Learned a valuable lesson in this meaningless process. Bleached my fucking natural healthy a$$ hair rebelling out of boredom while dealing with a consecutive amount of time off on the Woody project ( 2 months ago)! Sitting in a random apartment with nothing to do but smoke weed (which I should've just appreciated) and fuck with my hair obvi, something inside told me I'd regret it.... That hair color comes in a box (well maybe mine) therefore it's available to purchase and what grows from my scalp naturally is mine and and only mine!!! Not to mention I felt like a self obsessed psycho while real issues are out there in the world needing to be dealt with I was sitting in front of a mirror going thru strand by strand like my hair and what it looks like actually fucking matters! lol and now I'm out here looking like every Suzy Q & Sally B there is.... Either this shit needs to grow out at super speed or I'm about to go in for a fuckin hair cut realllllll quick!!! 👦🏼👦🏼👦🏼 #imisstheoldme but I guess even writing this hunk of bull shit means I am thinking about my hair which is equally as lame and self obsessed as all of the above because really this fucking mop will make no difference to that fact Donald Trump is running for president (successfully) and climate change is extremely real and scary. So please fellow humans next time you feel that tickle in your belly while making a decision listen to what it says and know the true you can never be replicated or replaced you are the one and only you! So bad assssss! Ps if you ever start overthinking shit especially something as silly as hair.... go outside, smell a flower, center your thoughts and find something productive to do with your time.... I wish I would've taken a toke of my own medicine.... Everything is a learning experience.... Even hair LOL PPS this isn't to discredit hair cuts/color as a tool and creative way to express yourself!!!! So if a change is something that feels right to you - fucking DO IT! Don't over think it because in the end it is fucking hair and nothing you do is detrimental and will just be a new chapter for you ❤️ my life is done chronologically in hair styles lol !!!! 👩👧👦👵 [9]
