Miley's crazed - her hair is gone!

I'm guessing that for anyone who follows Miley on Twitter, they will already be familiar with the teen star's latest image overhaul. In fact, I suspect anyone who reads newspapers or is a celebrity gossip junkie will know that she has indeed chopped her locks off in favour of a short buzz-cut. I won't lie, I love it!

I'm guessing the former teen star's new look has not gone down well with the majority of the world with many news sources suspecting some form of 'breakdown' on Miley's part; so the girl is clearly a little crazed to cut her hair? It has nothing to do with the fact she wanted a changed, right? This assumption riles me.

I hate when people are defined by something as aesthetic as their hair. I also hate when people (i.e. THE PRESS!) then start to fabricate reasons behind such drastic changes. I think one factor that media outlets forget when conjuring their tripe is the fact that Miley is YOUNG. There is no way she was going to stick with the same hair style for the rest of her life. I actually admire her for doing something so bold whilst in the glare of the public eye.

The reason I get so riled up is because I was defined by my hair for many years. When I was REALLY, REALLY young and at secondary school, I had hideous short, spiky hair which I then proceeded to grow as I was a tad tired of people constantly praising my ugly hair faux pas. So I grew it, then cut it, then dyed it a variety of colours from brown with blonde, to red, back to brown and then, finally, and currently, to blonde. I've also had my hair cut into a range of lengths but I'm currently working a shaved buzzcut, very similar to Miley's, which then graduates into lengthy fringe at the front.

Hair can be inventive and I get a bit annoyed by people who conform to the norm, such as long, flowing locks on a girl or a short crew cut on a guy. Switch it up, experiment and have fun; hair does grow back after all! In the meantime, sceptics need to move on and accept that a change in hair style does not mean a change in mental state. Hell, if that was the case, I would've been admitted to a psychiatric ward a looong time ago!
