Zendaya faced a new round of criticism for her look at the BET Awards Sunday night.

Apparently, social media was abuzz about her red carpet look (which included a short-haired wig), but it wasn't all positive feedback, prompting the actress to defend herself on Twitter. She shrugged it all of, posting a pair of photos along with the caption: "When people don't like your hair but they tweetin bout you tho...."

It wasn't too long ago when Zendaya made headlines for her the 'do she sported on the red carpet of this year's Academy Awards.
