Referring to the look as a "convertible cut," she discussed the style’s complexity and adaptability.

"It’s not actually a bob,” she explained.

“I’m trying to figure out a name — as it can really be so many things. It’s almost like a dress you can wear many ways."

The stylist also remarked that the cut changes drastically based on the way how you style it, offering a range of aesthetics from high fashion sleek to effortless.

She further revealed that while many fans speculate the cut to be for a new role, Zendaya opted for the cut entirely on her own as she wanted to embrace her natural hair.

"Z wanted a cut that would work with her natural texture and also offer versatility," she shared.

"When it’s in its natural state it doesn’t [look like a] bob. It kinda reads as a bixie."
