Hair Stylists Reportedly Confused by Concept of Curls During Zendaya’s Early Career

It turns out that before she was the undisputed queen of the red carpet, Zendaya was basically a science experiment for Hollywood’s most confused hair stylists. While the rest of us were mastering the art of the scrunchie, the pros on set were allegedly staring at a single curl like it was an ancient relic they were afraid to touch without a set of white gloves and a magnifying glass. Zendaya spilled the tea on those early days when she’d sit in the chair only to watch a stylist have a total existential crisis. Imagine being a literal icon-in-the-making and having to explain to a professional that, no, you cannot just sand down a curl like you’re refinishing a coffee table. The vibes were apparently '404 Error: Texture Not Found' every single morning. Now that she’s a global fashion force, we can only assume those same stylists are currently weeping into their flat irons. It’s hard to believe anyone looked at Zendaya and thought the solution was anything other than perfection, but hey, Hollywood has always been a little behind on the curve. Pun absolutely intended.
