Washington
(ANI):
American
singer
Miley
Cyrus
has
revealed
that
she
once
attempted
an
undercover
outing
by
donning
a
wig,
but
her
plan
flopped
after
she
set
her
hair
on
fire.
Cyrus,
who
is
the
Hannah
Montana
star,
said
that
she
wanted
to
disguise
herself
like
her
on
onscreen
alter
ego
had
done,
when
she
acted
as
a
pop
star
who
had
to
wear
a
wig
onstage
to
conceal
her
true
identity
as
school
student
Miley
Stewart.
However,
she
added,
her
attempt
at
disguising
herself
fizzled
out
after
she
used
a
straightening
iron
on
the
hairpiece
and
burned
it.
"I
had
the
idea
(to
go
out
in
disguise)
so
I
got
a
wig
and
it
was
really
short,
a
tomboy
cut,
and
I
decided
to
straighten
it.
I''m
sitting
down
and
all
of
a
sudden
I
start
smelling
smoke.
I
thought,
'What
is
that?'" Contactmusic
quoted
her
as
telling
British
talk
show
This
Morning.
"The
wig
is
literally
catching
on
fire
because
I
didn''t
know
it
was
a
cheap
wig.
And
I
thought,
''This
isn't
going
to
work
for
me.''
So
it
doesn''t
work
in
real
life
but
it
works
on
the
show!" she
added.
