Miley Cyrus’s New Hair Is ‘the Only Thing People Want to Talk About’

People have mixed opinions about Miley Cyrus‘s new hairstyle, but the starlet herself couldn’t be happier with the edgy look.

“It’s so easy [to manage], you know,” Cyrus told PEOPLE on Thursday at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. “I love it. I feel really me and it’s good.”

But making such a drastic change does have its drawbacks.

“The only thing that’s hard is it’s the only thing people want to talk about,” Cyrus added. “And it’s like, ‘Oh, I didn’t recognize you!’”

Hopefully the same won’t be true on her wedding day, though from the sounds of it, the singer has plenty of time to let her hair grow in before walking down the aisle.

“I’ve got so much planning to do with the tours and getting the record out,” she shared, explaining why she may postpone her nuptials. “I mean I’m really excited to obviously get married, but, I kind of already feel married, and I know we’re forever. I don’t really need the paper right now, so I’m just really trying to work.”

Suzanne on

She looks confident and happy. I wouldn’t get her haircut, personally, but she obviously loves it and it suits her.

rory on

i actually really like it and wish i could be that brave! can’t wait to see her wedding pictures.

Molly on

Well as long as she likes it, all is good I guess. :)

c on

i love her blonde!

elly on

At first, I didn’t like it, I didn’t like all the efforts she make to make the people thinks that she is grow up… but now she seems so confident, and that makes her sexy and a real woman, so I think that it was smart that she cut her hair :) Go Miley, go!!!

Sita on

Neat – she looks like Amber Rose!

Meena on

She doth protest too much. No one needs to keep hearing her say she likes her hair. She is veering into Leann Rimes territory with the attention seeking and insecurity.

CLG on

I think it looks awesome and fierce. I’m a hairstylist and I always thought her long hair was kind of grungy looking, but I LOVE this look for her!

Sandra on

I can’t believe she did this to her hair. Her long hair suited her and I couldn’t believe it when I saw it all cut off and coloured like this! Oh well, it isn’t my hair and she can do what she wants, but I think she is trying to copy off of “Pink”, which I think is crazy, because you should always be yourself and not have to copy someone else’s style. Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, she is too young to get married and will probably call the wedding off anyways before she is ready to walk down the aisle. And if she does get married, it won’t last. The majority of people who get married that young haven’t dated enough and they want to leave and see what else is out there.

Sally on

She is the only one who couldn’t stop talking about her hair with all the tweets and pics she kept posting of herself. She wanted attention and she got it. It’s only hair! Not a big deal.

comment blog on

PINK did it first.

AL on

I think she has a pretty face, healthy body, I even like the dress. The hair color isn’t bad either but that cut is just ridiculous.

Danielle on

Miley still a young woman….let her explore with new style….her hair will grow soon….so what’s the problem….?

Tiffany on

People talk about her because what else is there to talk about? She doesn’t want to talk about her wedding. And FYI- She looks like she is trying to look like Pink. I don’t think she has the personality to pull it off.

Tiffany on

* Oops. meant to say people talk about her hair

M. on

AHAHAHAHA. BAHAHAHAHAHA. BWWWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! GO MILEY!

AHAHAHAHA. Whatever.

M. on

AHAHAHA.

Britney calling from her crazy days: Hi Miley! Hey girlfriend, I got a great idea for your next hair style!

BAHAHAHA!

Beth Phillips on

I love the hair. It’s a fun easy change. I prefer that to tattoos. She can always re-colour, re-style to suit the situation. She looks like she’s having fun and at this point in her life she should be! Plus, it’s her hair!

Mona on

I don’t like it.
she needs to stop copying other people and be herself.
I don’t think it suits her, I think she is going through some kind of crisis

jj on

Miley Cyrus’s New Hair Is ‘the Only Thing People Want to Talk About’

That’s because she hasn’t done any work, as no one wants to hire her.
Clearly, the new hair cut is just a plea for attention to try and repair her crashing career.

mrsmass on

well, if it wasn’t for her hair, people probably wouldn’t bother talking about her.

Kriken on

How about they ask Pink how she feel having Miley Cyrus rip off her style… I do like how Miley looks…but how about some originality….

Lacy on

It’s not “new hair”…it’s been on Pink’s head for how long? She is an attention seeking copycat.

Chelsea on

Isn’t that what she wanted? For everyone to talk about her hair? Isn’t that why she did it in the first place and put it all over Twitter? Why is she surprised? I’m confused…

GetOverItMiley on

She does look like Pink and apparently trying to copy Pink’s bad/wild image.. but you see… that kind of angst must come from within.. you can’t change your hair and then suddenly become a punk… punk is just a way of life.. and you can’t mimic it…. Miley is NOT punk… She cares too much about what people think.. and she is the one who couldn’t stop talking about her hair (VAIN) so quit acting like people can’t stop talking about it.. YOU can’t stop talking about it Miley…

ANGELA ANGER on

At least people are talking about her, which is good news for her.

lilmarie on

reminds me a little like Pink, she use to do her hair that way when she first became really popular.

Amber on

Maybe everyone talks about her hair because there is nothing else to say about her besides poser wannabe.

Tim C on

Pink wannabe, you have the look but not the talent. If “everyone” is talking about it be grateful that there is something to talk about where you are concerned as you haven’t done anything lately.

Puckersbabe on

OMG, again with the hair! Why does it always seem to come back to the hair? At this point, the hair has it’s own Facebook, Twitter and a Pinterest! Enough with the hair! It’s been said and done.

SilverSpiritDancer on

I realized last night that the look Mylie is trying to get is imitating Pink. Works great for Pink but not so much for Mylie. The part I never realized is the size of her nose and mouth….never realized it was that much! I thought she looked great when she did the chin length cut with highlights

DjaksMom on

So let me get this straight…she excessively tweets on a daily basis, most specifically about her hair as of late, then complains when it gets the attention she craves??

robby on

I love Miley’s look so much that I just had my hair done the exact same way. It has allowed me to truly be myself. I have even decided to wear tops with the same kind of plunging neckline that adorns Miley. As a 51-year old man with a nice case of Gynecomastia, the effect is tremendous

Yvonne on

You know the first thought that popped into my head when I saw this photo of her was “Kewpie doll”. I know that sounds cruel but I can’t help it. It was my honest first thought, “I’ve seen that look before…where….um…oh gosh, she looks like a Kewpie doll!” There is no possible way her boyfriend could like this look, zero chance compared to her pretty long hair! Poor guy.

well on

start talking about other things besides yo hair!

CeeCee on

I’m happy she loves her hair and all….but it’s just hair. It’s getting to be too much and it seems you can’t read anywhere without her mug and her hair plastered all over the place.

Can we move on from this? The world’s a big place and there are other stories.

Donna on

And 10 years from now you’ll be saying “Miley who?”

Gloria on

It’s your head and your hair! As long as you are happy with it….who cares what anyone else thinks about it! Besides, hair grows back. You look great!

MegT on

I was all for the new look, but this photo really made me think she looked like a younger version of Bridget Nelson.

janb55 on

Her career’s tanking, so she doesn’t have much else to talk about except for the haircut.

TinTexas on

So basically someone her age changing her looks and putting her marriage on hold . Means that she and her man aren’t doing to well . That’s what I get out of it !

TeriA on

@Sandra…who says she is too young to be married? I married at 19 and we will be celebrating 17 years in a couple months. I have a friend who married at 17, and they are still together. In fact this is quite common in my circle of friends. Not everyone is getting divorced who married young….

Palmer on

please make her go away!

Jen Jen on

Yes, because it is so horrible. Poor thing.

flowerescent on

….the only thing hard is it is the Only Thing People Want to Talk About? ………..Isn’t that what she wanted?

She’s trying to hard to be edgy, and looks good but it is not “her” (trying too hard)…. I see P!nk’s hairdo and an Angelina Jolie tattoo down the arm.

Joules on

At first I thought WTF happened to Pink, then I realized who it was, could she be even more unoriginal. Just b/c she stole Pinks look it doesn’t make her any more interesting.

Lopezsa03 on

She looks like Pink. In fact, the 2 looked almost identical last night, except Pink actually looked great! I have no issues with her hair, except that she clearly copied someone else and I think she’d fare better if she found her own style.

Angela on

Horrible. You are not Pink, Miley.

Lauren on

Sorry, but people like to talk about trainwrecks. Even when you try to ignore it you just can’t. This is a trainwreck!!! I mean seriously horrific! If she actually gets to marry super-hot Liam Hemsworth looking like she had a run in with a weed eater, there’s just no fairness in this world!

stan1234 on

i think people who have short hair really have a lot of confidence in the way they look since they’re not hiding behind a lot of hair… props to Miley. her short do really suits her face and personality better!!

CRODZ on

Pink has been doing this look for years and years. Miley looks like a Pink fan, that’s all.

Sally on

Umm she tweeted every 5 minutes with pics of her hair & now she says it’s all anyone talks about? She sounds crazy.

Cadillac Jack on

Miley has a well built body however most of us did at 19. The short hair only accentuates that puffy face from all the partying.

Terri on

She looks like a white Grace Jones

anonymous on

and its not good talk but hey she is getting the reaction she wanted, great copy cat hairstyle from Pink too bad you have no original personality, Pink blows you away little hannah montana poor liam

Ann on

Maybe if she would tone down those eyebrows and put some color on her skin….if she’s happy I’m happy for her!!!!

summer on

She is extremely gifted and could easily eclipse her earlier work. She has her head on straight and knows what she is doing. I wish her the very best.

Sunny on

She looked better with her hair long. I am sorry but this new hairdo do not look good on her. Sorry

Diana Fetterman on

It’s not just a piece of paper, it’s a commitment. Anyone can live together.

Steve on

Her uneven breast is more of an issue for me

MJ on

I agree with Sita that she look like Amber Rose. If she had talent then we could talk about that but there is none o that. She has become a tabloidHo and there is nothing else to her.

blair on

She doesn’t remind me of Pink. She reminds me of a Smurf. Just put some blue on it and bam, there you go!

markus on

I love Miley hair. She look good & FABULOUS! Liam & Miley are so adorable together. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Denise Smith on

Love the dress, not so much the hair.

blair on

marriage is sooooo much more than a piece of paper!!

Tina on

Not to sound rude or anything, but what else are they going to talk about? She doesn’t have much of a career anymore.

Not a Miley fan on

The reason people only want to talk about your hair, Miley, is because that is the ONLY interesting thing about you. And it’s not even that interesting. Hasn’t Pink been sporting the exact same look for awhile now?

ES71 on

She looks good with short hear but not standing up on ends like that. Just brush it to a side or a pixie style.

Mabby on

I like the color and the fact that she cut it short. I think the long, banana curl, hair draped over the front of the dress hairdo has been done to death. Sometimes when I see these celebs wear their hair that way (you can’t even see what they’re wearing), I wish I could say to them. “Why don’t you cut that hair or pull back or up.” (This includes Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall). Short hair is just so much fresher and younger. However, I don’t like it all poofed up like that. That length of hair could be styled much more attractively and still be modern and cute.

guest on

go away

Carrie on

I cannot believe this girl was ever a role model for young girls. She is absolutely ridiculous. It would do us all good to stop talking about her and maybe she would just go away. YUCK!!

Guest on

I wouldn’t do that to my hair -it’s not me. But it does look really great on her. Makes her look edgy and more mature. I applaud her giving something new a try!

meg on

that is the UGLIEST hair cut i have ever seen! i can’t believe she seriously thinks she looks good; the ONLY person who can pull off that hair and actually LOOK nice is Pink.

SHar on

I for one dont think this is an attention getter for Miley. I remember back to when I was that age and I did lots of crazy things with my hair. It seemed for me to be a pick-me-up when going thru something or just feeling Blah. Hair grows back and quickly and why not experiment with different styles. Some of mine (haircuts and colors) I hated but am glad I tried and some I loved. If this is the worst thing she does in her life then I am all for it. And by the way I happen to love it – worn both ways. It does give her that edgy look and it does make her look more grown up and mature. You go girl!!!

Elly on

You choose to do something outrageous and you get attention, which obviously is what she was looking for…She got what she wanted so don’t act all surprised Miley!

SHar on

P.S. And I didnt do it because I was insecure or anything of that nature. It was just fun!!!

Carol on

Don’t like it atl, looks ridiculous.

Ella on

She’s young so what the heck have fun with it. I had every color and style imaginable when I was in my 20′s. However she kind looks like a wannabe Rhianna.

Lucymay on

It’s not all I want to talk about, that’s for sure. I want to talk about how she looks like a prostitute in that picture and how she’s way too young to look so “hard” and “used.”

Jackie on

I saw her on the MTV awards last night.
I did not realize it was her for the longest time.
But I thought the hair was attractive on her last night along with the dress. She looked older.

mytwocents on

Oh yeah, I love her hair… I also loved it when PINK did it….

Lisa D'Ambrosio on

Relax, people, hair grows back!

Just Me on

My Mom was put on life suppprt yesterday she is 75 had 8 children with 6 still alive…she has worked really hard in her life and raised us kids to love and respect…and she loves God……not too sure how much longer she will be here with us……thats news …getting your hair cut and colored is everyday stuff….

T on

I like your new hair cut Miley , you wear it well……

Julesy on

Next thing you know, she’s going to get implants and lip injections to get more attention. Poor girl, starving so much for attention because her career is in the doldrums. Just wish she would do something about the black eyebrows.

emilee on

At first I liked it, but then realized she looks like a mix between Boy George & Justin Bieber. Blond is great, lose the butch!

Shamma on

She’s gergous, I love her because she’s confident about herself and that’s the important thing that other people don’t have it. she looks fantastic in this black dress! perfect hair ;)

Bunny on

Seriously I don’t get her she posted like 10 pictures everyday on twitter and complains about ppl talking about clearly her hair is a publicly stunt.

hollie on

sorry miley, your long hair was so much prettier on you. if you’re happy that’s really all that matters i just don’t think it’s the right look….

Lee on

Future Lindsay Lohan.
