The Dance Moms Detail That Makes JoJo Siwa Cringe

JoJo Siwa — the always-smiling, neon-wearing teen performer — does have a reason for wearing her hair in a ponytail, though. She told J-14 in 2018 (via YourTango) that it boosts her confidence. "I feel more confident with my hair up," she said. "I wear my hair up all the time because I don't like it down. I just really hate having it on my neck, so that's why I always pull it into a ponytail. That's how I look at home too. I wear bows and my hair up, no matter if I'm performing or not."

As mentioned, Siwa's signature ponytail started before her days on Dance Moms, according to what she told Us Weekly. Her dance debut was when she was 9 years old on Abby Lee Miller's show Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. She then moved on to Season 5 of Dance Moms with Miller. Siwa and her mom moved from their Nebraska home out to Los Angeles to film the show — ponytail, bow, and all.

Siwa checked out of the show after Season 6 to pursue her solo ventures, which have worked out well for her, considering she has a net worth that is likely north of $12 million. Very casual for a teenager.
