Rapper Tyler the Creator was among the critics, tweeting, 'Your barber is an a**hole. He later deleted the comment.
Miley didn't seem fazed by the negativity. "Never felt more me in my whole life,' the singer and former Hannah Montana tweeted to her legion of fans, along with a picture of her new do."
Kirstie Alley, the former "Dancing With the Stars" dancer, tweeted her support to Miley. "@MileyCyrus LOVE your hair Queen Bee... All Mod.. Mary Quant, Twiggy, 1960's West End... LOVE."
