Zendaya has spent years trying to grow her 'damaged hair back'
OHMYGOSSIP — Zendaya has spent years trying to grow her “damaged hair back”.
The 20-year-old actress has admitted she has struggled to get her dark tresses back to a healthy condition, but believes after “however many years” of wearing wigs, avoiding heated tools such as straighteners and curlers, and dousing her locks with “every natural product in the world” she has “finally” seen signs her natural hair is growing back.
Alongside a picture of her sporting a curly head of hair as she posed for a mirror selfie, which was shared on her Instagram account, it read: “When you’ve spent the past however many years growing your damaged hair back, avoiding heat, wearing wigs and trying every natural product in the world and you finally see a little curl pattern comin back… #yeslawwwwd (sic).”
And the ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ star has revealed she often wears false hair pieces, including hair extensions and full front-lace wigs, which she prefers because they give “full coverage”, look “natural”, and leave her looking “completely different”.
Speaking previously about her beauty choices, she said: “[Lace-front wigs] those are the best when it comes to full-coverage and looking natural. They can be applied with tape and/or glue. I wear them when I want a completely different look.”
And Zendaya has advised those who want to opt for a weave, when the hair is braided and the fake locks are stitched into the plait, should be regularly re-done, because she believes it is “disgusting” if it isn’t changed.
She said: “A weave is when you braid your hair up, you have a net over it and you weave the hair – the tracks – into the net that is sewn onto your head. You can have it up to a month and some change depending on how your hair grows and how you take care of it. You must get it re-done, it can’t stay on forever, that is disgusting.”
