Miley Cyrus' mum used to make her wear 250 hair extensions.

The 'Bangerz' singer, 32, shot to fame as a child star playing Hannah Montana and has now recalled how her mother Tish would go to extreme lengths to style her tresses when she was growing up.

She said in a teaser clip for her upcoming interview on Harper's Bazaar's podcast 'The Good Buy': "It if it was under 250 (hair extensions), my mom wasn't having it. Tish was like, 'We need another row'.

"Tish would be like, 'Dig another row up'.

"The kind of hair extensions that we had, they don't even do these anymore."

Miley opened up about her early style after giving a rare insight into her relationship - saying her younger boyfriend looks at life "really differently" from her.

The millennial singer, who turned 32 on 23 November, is thought to have been dating Gen Z'er Maxx Morando, 26, since 2021, and revealed even though their age gap isn't massive she still notices a huge chasm between their approaches.

She told Harper's Bazaar: "He looks at life really differently than I do. He grew up with a laptop (and) I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters.

"Honestly, he's raised our dog off Reddit. I'm like, 'Are you sure we're supposed to be doing this?'

"And he's like, 'On Reddit it says blah, blah, blah'."

Miley added she and Liily drummer Maxx spend a lot of time on social media exchanging memes, and stressed he is "very similar" to her as they both "just don't take life too seriously".

The singer also said Maxx has introduced her to new artists, and they enjoy listening to songs they think are "cringe" but they "love".

They are now working together on her upcoming album 'Something Beautiful' as Miley has no boundaries when it comes to mixing relationships and work - especially after she spent years working with her 63-year-old musician father Billy Ray Cyrus.

She added: "I worked with my dad forever."

Referring to her actor former partner Liam Hemsworth, 34, to whom she was married from 2018 to 2020, Miley went on: "That's how me and my ex-husband met each other.

"I've always worked with the people that I love. And Maxx just inspires me so much."
