Zendaya is one young celebrity who totally embraces the world of extensions. In fact, we've probably never seen her natural hair because she takes every red carpet appearance as an opportunity to try something new. Recently, Zendaya revealed her big hair secret on Instagram, saying, "So many people get stressed out every time I wear a different hairstyle on the red carpet. It's called a wig, people!" And we have to admit her stylist is a wig wonder. One day she could be wearing a blunt bob, and the next evening it's hair down to her butt. We did the same experimenting as a teen — perms, bangs, and even grunge hair color (not all of them were successes). Zendaya's weave obsession makes for some unbelievable hair moments, which we catalog ahead.
