Cyrus said goodbye to her role on Hannah Montana-and her character's infamous wig. "At first I was like, 'I'm gonna burn it!'" she told People. "It itches so bad. But now I want to keep it, so if I'm, like, 30 and want to pretend I'm Hannah Montana again, I can."

Dramatic champagne highlights punctuated Miley Cyrus's amber waves. "I am loving bold variation in tones right now," colorist Jason Backe says. "A really striking ribbon of a creamy blond, next to a medium golden blond lowlight, running through a soft base is major."

This past year has been a slam dunk for Cyrus—she reignited the flame with fiancé Liam Hemsworth, scored a spot as a judge on The Voice, and let her famous platinum crop gain a few inches.
