If you’ve been secluded in a bungalow awaiting the ever-impending Y2K crash for the last 13 years, then you’ve missed out on some valuable pop culture moments, like Amanda Bynes’ rise, and now whistling fast crash of fame. 

The 27-year-old actress made the move to New York City recently after announcing her retirement from acting back in June of 2010…and we guess what they say is true: the city will chew you up and spit you out; after all, Amanda’s recent affairs have implied that she is indeed residing in the belly of the beast. 

But one thing Amanda hasn’t given up with the acting career seems to be set-props; most notably, wigs. 

The woman who was once voted No. 30 on the 2011 Maxim “Hot 100” List, is now one of the women with the most, dare we call it, interesting looks when it comes to her hair selections. 

From matted synthetic blonde wigs to buzz shaved sides, take a look at Amanda Bynes’ most epic wig moments below. 

First, let’s flash back to 2009 before the wig-trocities set in. Amanda was a darling beauty with shining curled blonde locks. 

But later she traded them in for a poor replica with this Amanda-inspired Amanda wig. 

We then thought she had a moment of revival when she showed off this look…

But then she really decided to give the Nicki Minaj wig a try.

Before being seen out like this:

A flashback to the happier hair days in California, where Amanda donned a long dark look.

That she later traded in for a long wavy brown wig in NYC. 

But eventually she gravitated to more than a few renditions of her favorite blonde wig, which sometimes got a little…unruly. 

But it was nothing a salon visit and a wig brush couldn’t fix.

She would sweep it to the side….

Or opt for blonde extensions in the gym with one side shaved “like Cassie.”

And of course, we will never forget where it all started with the DUI mugshot’s purple-ish hair. 

And where it ended with a bald photo in her most recent mugshot. 

How’d we get here, Amanda? 

Seriously, how? 

Someone get this girl Nicki Minaj’s wig stylist, stat!
