Benson’s PLL costar and BFF Shay Mitchell is more attached to her hair, recently revealing to Mane Addicts that she’s timid to change up her look.

“The reason I have so much fun with wigs is because I’m not brave enough to cut or color my own hair. I do that same thing pretty much all the time with my hair, which is just what I’m comfortable with,” she shared. “Down and a beach wave. Sometimes I’ll switch up the wave a little bit and I feel like that’s me being really crazy. My hair is my security blanket.”
