Zendaya Coleman's hair is causing a stir once again.

The singer debuted a fresh pixie-cut wig at Sunday's BET Awards, but not everyone was a fan of the "Replay" singer's new look. In fact, many criticized the 18-year-old, but she didn't stay silent through all of the hate.

"When people don't like your hair but they tweetin bout you tho..... #idgaf #idgaf," she tweeted, making sure to include two silly selfies that show she is just brushing it all off. She also added two emojis that are laughing so hard they're in tears. The joke is on you, haters!

Zendaya always has been one to stick up for body image and has even put some people on blast for criticizing women for not wearing makeup. The Disney darling came to YouTube makeup artist Shannon C.'s defense when a Twitter user mocked her barefaced selfie.

The user @Manstagram shared a split photo of Shannon with and without makeup on and wrote, "This is why our first date is running a mile around the track to see if you sweat the makeup off."

Zendaya responded to the user's tweet with her own makeup-free photo and captioned it, "@Manstagram_ that awkward moment when this tweet is irrelevant cause she's slaying both ways #wannaborrowmyglasses."

BOOM. ROASTED.

Shannon also caught wind of the actress coming to her defense and tweeted, "Women who stick up for women. Thank you @Zendaya and everyone else."

But when the young starlet isn't busy working on her own beauty secrets and skills, she's just being a regular teenager! The K.C. Undercover star graduated from Oak Park High School in Oak Park, Calif., earlier this month alongside gymnast Gabby Douglas. Both stars celebrated their accomplishments with selfies on Instagram, and Zendaya even got a shout out from bestie Taylor Swift on Twitter.

"I'M NOT CRYING, YOU ARE. @Zendaya #ProudOfYou," gushed Swift.

The Olympic gymnast, on the other hand, couldn't celebrate too much as she had to quickly rush to the airport afterwards! "Not gonna lie. it was tough to balance school and gym.. but i did it!" the gold medalist told her fans in her selfie's caption. "Kno when u set ur mind to achieve something u can do it. anddddd yeas i'm at the airport. gotta get right back to the grind. love u guys."
