Miley Cyrus Cut Her Own Hair Into a Joe Exotic Mullet
Miley Cyrus is like so many of us during social isolation—bored and left to our own devices when it comes to our beauty and grooming regimens. From roots growing in to brows growing out, we’re all looking at ourselves in the mirror these days and thinking, “Sure, I can totally do the job I usually pay skilled professionals for…”
And the singer is no different. She revealed during her Instagram Live talk show Bright Minded that she attempted (operative word here) to cut her own bangs. Cyrus told reality star Kristin Cavallari and hairstylist Justin Anderson about how she combed all her hair forward from the back before starting to trim—which is generally not what a seasoned stylist would do. “Lucky for me, I’m not going to be seeing anyone,” she said, joking that she’s the one person who won’t be mad if the social distancing orders continue into June.
Anderson says this is definitely a “dangerous” time for Cyrus because, while she’s low-maintenance when it comes to styling her hair, she often wants little “tweaks” to her look. Considering she called another friend to drop off thinning shears in her mailbox, we’d have to agree.
Miley’s never been one to take beauty too seriously, though (remember when she let her mom cut her hair?), so she’s been a good sport about her quarantine cut. Fans have jumped in, too, and quickly started pointing out the similarities between Cyrus’s cut and Joe Exotic, the main subject of Netflix’s wildly popular documentary series, Tiger King.
“Miley Cyrus really out here looking like the Tiger King,” one fan tweeted. “Whyyy does Miley have the Joe Exotic cut????? Lmaoo Rolling on the floor laughing ,” another wrote. “All I’m saying is… have you ever seen Miley Cyrus and Tiger King in the same room together?” one person jokingly wondered.
While we wouldn’t necessarily copy Cyrus’s technique if your bangs need a trim, she is truly pulling off this look in a way only she can. Let’s just seriously hope the tattoo liner isn’t next.
