Zendaya Responds to Criticism on Short Hair at BET Awards

People are talking badly about Zendaya's hair once again, but she's responded to the criticism the best way she knows how.

The 18-year-old singer showed off her new short, pixie-cut wig Sunday night at the BET Awards, according to E! News. People all over social media were criticizing her and making jokes about the cut. When Zendaya got wind of what people were saying, she took to Twitter to respond.

"When people don't like your hair but they tweetin bout you tho...#idgaf #idgaf," she wrote. The tweet contained two photos of herself making faces at all the haters.

The young singer looked gorgeous in a sparkling button-up shirt dress. She posted a photo to her Instagram showing off the front and back of the dress in an awesome pair of high silver heels. "Yes...I'm a tall 6'4"(with these heels) skinny glass of sparking water and I love it. #bodylove," the caption read.

While on the red carpet she told Entertainment Tonight all about her hair, which is constantly changing.

"Everyone knows I like to change my hairstyle every other day, so I wanted to be short today - and that's why!" she said. "It also has a lot to do with the outfit. When you have so much going on, I wanted to keep everything else simple, you know? My stylist and I were like, 'Short hair. Minimal accessories. Keep it simple.'"

Zendaya also retweeted a video of herself ripping her wig off and revealing her long, natural hair, saying, "Are you hatin' out there?"

This isn't the first time her hair is receiving some negative feedback, either. Earlier this year at the Oscars, Zendaya rocked some dreadlocks, and "Fashion Police" co-host Giuliana Rancis made some racist and offensive comments about the style.

Zendaya made sure to express her feelings in a lengthy social media post at the time. "There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful. Someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect," she wrote. "Body shaming and other hurtful tactics will never get the job done."
