After expressing that her hair was severely damaged after bleaching and dying it for her roles on Victorious and Sam & Cat, the singer started wearing her hair in the high ponytail that we all know and love today. She also recently expressed on Twitter that her ponytail was a constant source of pain.

You didn’t think we were going to leave this one out, did you?
