JoJo Siwa says she's trying to figure out how to style her new short hair after cutting off her ponytail
- JoJo Siwa revealed on Thursday that she cut her signature ponytail into a shaved pixie cut.
- She said on Instagram that she's not sure how to style her hair yet, but loves the cut.
JoJo Siwa has officially said goodbye to her signature ponytail.
The 18-year-old performer shared a photo of her latest haircut via Instagram on Thursday, revealing that she now has a blonde, side-swept pixie cut that's shaved on the sides.
"HAPPPPPY," Siwa captioned her post.
On her Instagram story, the Nickelodeon star — who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021 — said she's not entirely sure how to style her short hair, but is a fan of it nonetheless.
"So I just got my hair cut yesterday and I went for the down-and-curly moment, but today I went for an up-and-back moment," she said. "I don't know. The picture that I posted was from yesterday when it was down and kind of curled. But let me know what y'all think. I think I might be into the up-and-back."
"I mean, it's gonna be different everyday," she continued. "I'm still learning how to do it. It's way different than long hair — it's crazy. But I'm obsessed."
She first teased the haircut on Wednesday, sharing a video of her ponytail being cut to Instagram.
"Mayyyyy have done something todayyyy♀️" she wrote at the time.
Siwa has made headlines throughout her career as her style has evolved.
She dyed her hair dark brown in June 2020 and later got a glam makeover from controversial YouTuber James Charles in November of that year. Siwa later said the makeover made for one of the "scariest" days of her life because she didn't like "looking different" at the time.
Still, this haircut is different than her previous beauty transformations. After all, Siwa has a long history with her ponytail.
She's been wearing the long hairstyle on stage and at red-carpet events since the start of her career. She's also sold countless hair bows — which she typically wore in her ponytail — leading to a multi-million dollar merchandise empire.
