One amongst the many other things I learnt from Miley Cyrus as an impressionable elementary school kid was to never underestimate the life-changing power of a hair transformation. Turn the browns into blonde, add some bangs and a regular teenage girl becomes a pop sensation!
From her iconic Hannah Montana locks to the shocking pixie cut and the present day mullet, Miley truly can't be tamed when it comes to experimenting with her hair. Here's her hair evolution through the years:
2006

Miley was just 13 years old when Hannah Montana first aired on television in 2006. That same year she attended the 41st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards sporting pinned back brunette hair with soft curls.
2008
