Despite Cyrus having full ownership over her body and beauty choices, several fans voiced their disapproval of her new look, which prompted Hershberger to defend her work and client. "First of all, if you knew anything about hair, it's the position she's in," Hershberger responded to a commenter on Instagram. "That's why it looks that way, it's 100% even, and she also had it straightened, so it's more severe, which I actually like. That being said chill out and know it's a modern mullet which is very cool, but it's something you probably aren't even well-versed in sorry but not sorry."
