If you want ice blonde you need to bleach it, dye it blue and then bleach it again. That will strip it down to serious WHITE hair. But it’s a lot of work that most salons will try and accomplish with a toner which is never going to fully correct that yellow, especially under yellow set lighting.

What was she jealous of. Do you realize the show was picked up in 120 countries which can be attributed to her creation of this show.

In other countries they were much more accepting of the ones from their respective shows becoming successful models.

@@ambraliving maybe she was just trying to make good TV. If that was the case, then yes, she created a very popular show. I don’t think she did it for any altruistic motives though. However, this is just my opinion.

[@ambraliving]

@@lisawhereisthecultjam It's called the Entertainment Industry. The show needed to keep people watching and the Makeover Show was the episode everyone looked forward to. Cycle 4 she took the models to her offices where she talked about crafting her modeling career. When her body began to change to became a Victoria Secret Model and then a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model. Also in Cycle 7 she mentioned about sharing the information she had. She was able to create a show from what many young women asked her about modeling and what she thought would be great to see in the industry. She also knew one needed to stand out when so many models may have the same look such as shoulder length brunette hair. Remember it was a reality show, but there were a real modeling agency representing the winner and I am sure they made their thoughts known what they wouldn't really represent going forward. My question would next be have anybody seen fashion shows throughout the world. Vivien Westwood, Betsey Johnson, Terry Muglar. What is done to hair for a show, a photo shoot depending on editorial or catalog. Many would NOT HAVE KZbin CONTENT IF AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL WAS NOT CREATED.

Agreed. I feel like I've seen her makeover as one of the worst on multiple lists but I've always loved it. I do agree with the video that bleaching the one eyebrow wasn't necessary, and with you that such a distinct look would make it more difficult to be seen as the "blank canvas" ideal of a model, but I just thought she looked great and it was cool to see how having the 2 tones let her play with which side she wanted to play into for any given shoot.

OMG! THE TOOTH THING AT THE END WAS THE LAST STRAW! I must have missed that one, or it quit watching the show by then. Tyra is a horrible, miserable human being to have done that to that girl's teeth.

[@demigatita6393]

Where’s Ava (C22)? Her mullet makeover was the worst!

[@agallstarfilms7583]

Exactly !!

[@karabogafane4402]

Ms Mojo articulating that lump I had as a kid in my tummy I couldn't explain in the makeover episodes so well. Tyra was savage

[@carleisaid]

Phil looked fine AF in that instagram shot after he grew his hair out. Tyra was wrong af for those extensions 😂😂😂

[@luellahobson2865]

The make overs are unbelievable! I had no idea models went through so much humiliation! I guess it works for some but not most!

[@celticecho]

I cannot believe you put Amanda’s bleached look in here! It’s one of my all time favourite looks in this show and she absolutely nailed it!!

[@DrNikki-lp8sy]

As a kid, I always hated the makeover episodes. I never understood why ppl would get on the show knowing there would be a MANDATORY makeover. Looking back I hate it more because of what it did to their self esteem.

[@thaismatsumoto]

I always wondered that too. Plus why they couldn't walk in high heels. As a former model myself, I practiced that knowing how important that was.

[@LaLaLopez1999]

WOW Amanda’s makeover was STUNNING!!!

[@cittykat3143]

Do “top 10 couples you can tell are unhappy on house hunters”

[@Sofia-qn6fs]

Cassandra Jean's farrow cut was my favourite pick 😀

[@PHSDM104]

Exactly. The short cut looked way better on her.

[@Ostkupa]

My conspiracy theory is that Tyra legit thought that this was the best option for her - and I agree, if she cut that extra inch off it would have been so cool! But then she and/or the producers saw the Drama & Great TV(tm) that followed, and started doing wild things to the girls purely to recreate that moment.

[@facetwit99]

wtf is Tyra thinking with half of these makeover they looked better before

[@flixtrue6300]

80% looked much better before

[@markalexander3659]

I would have only agreed to a buzzcut or otherwise extremely short hair under the condition that Tyra personally buy me like a human hair lacefront if I hate it lol.

[@jonwiley2592]

The last "makeover" crossed a line for me. As expensive as dental care is there is no way I would let anyone shave my teeth or m make any silly changes that is be stuck with.

[@h.haydon8044]

I loved Jaeda's pixie. It suits her face

[@sieje]

Anyone else binge watch Brad Mondo’s reaction?

[@lexxitrexxi]

I strongly disagree with a few of these especially the two tone, I have two tone hair (I've had it for years) and I love it and thought hers looked good too. But I always was repulsed by Trya Banks' behavior and the mistreatment of the contestants. For someone claiming they are having only the best professional do those haircuts/styles, most of the weaves look horrendous and they don't understand how to style pixie cuts.

[@4everbratz]

I love Amanda’s icy blonde hair.

[@inkeriananas]

I really don't understand why it's on this list 🤨

[@4everbratz]

@@inkeriananas Yeah, exactly ✨

[@PHSDM104]

Exactly. Her makeover was the best of the cycle.

[@jordantyler3150]

two toned hair is extremely popular especially recently which made me love Shei's hair so much tbh

[@NuKim-ld1tw]

Hey msmojo maybe you could make a list for the top 10 cutest Disney and Pixar characters.

[@triciaa7259]

it was SO ironic that they did that for Chelsea when with Danielle who had a NATURAL gap, Tyra wanted it *completely* closed, and made fun of the fact that Danielle had a gap. Crazy.

[@EfrenDNa]

6:36 Christina did the green and black before Billy did. Billy rocked it but I think Christina rocked it too.

[@MargoIndigo]

i have a love/hate relationship with alina and kari’s hair 😂

[@torunsandstrom1296]

In my opinion, Jaeda's hair made her look so good!

[@Sweetthang9]

You people are high....just because Cassandra didn't like her hair and she left because of it, doesn't meant that her makeover wasn't stunning. Go home MsMojo.

[@therealghostgirl]

This cracks me up! A model is someone who literally has to mold into someone else job by job. I can’t deal with these people crying over their hair! 😂😂

[@pandora4037]

Honestly, the moment anybody suggests permanent altercations to my body I would have said no. Everybody on that show was a bully and used cheap wigs and weaves.

[@kagendokaecha9080]

The whole show together with the tyra, the judges and stylists and everyone involved was problematic. I remember a cycle where a girl was ridiculed for having a butt that's a bit bigger and how it reflected on her walk

[@visualbeauty3427]

What cycle?

[@ambraliving]

@@visualbeauty3427 Danielle's cycle Wendy. She stuck her but out as she walked on the runway.

[@stacym735]

I remember watching Kari's makeover in horror, wondering who on earth that inside-and-out *lovely* girl had pissed off so badly that they'd do something so hideous to her. That makeover was so far beyond "just bad," it seemed downright malicious.

[@shanewashington6335]

Next the top 20 best makeovers

[@ApprenticeWonderwall]

I'd put Cycle 16's Brittani on the top there!

[@bonnieho4810]

I actually really like Shei’s makeover then and now. I think it looks super cool on her and she kind of pulled it off 🤍🖤

[@JoystickVersusMachine]

Maybe I'm just ignorant to the world of fashion, but if they need a model to have specific hair for a shoot, isn't it easier to just have them wear a wig that's basically the right style and color to begin with? I know hair and makeup can make most wigs look real. Why go through the drama of messing with someone's hair if it isn't necessary?

[@thatchillingeffect]

Amanda's? Really? That was so iconic! I do agree with the rest, although I've always loved how Jaeda looked with her short hair.

[@Marshmallow95506]

Naomi and Tyra are rivals and enemies. I'm not surprised poor Ann got exactly the opposite of what she wanted. Tyra was probably mad she did as well as she did.

[@vaidehirajsinha8331]

ngl christina's dipped green was awesome and it looked amazing on her.

[@biljam972]

Christina wasn't the oldest in cycle 24, it was Erin who was 42. And to add to that, makeovers were made to create artificial drama not to help models in any way. I feel like it would be much better if instead of forcing makeover they asked models to recommend three possible makeovers each for themselves only. So they basically choose their own style. That would be fair, but then, where is the fake drama?

[@christya2488]

All of the models that Tyra made get some jacked up hairdo should have cursed Tyra out when they got eliminated. Tyra was all kinds of wrong.

[@nataliesimpson4239]

Why do the judges blame the models for a bad photo sometimes when it's the hair style that makes the picture look bad, it seems like they don't like to admit that hair stylists on the show don't always do a good job.

[@maroonggirl]

Kari's hair was far from ice blonde, and that's what's making me mad. Ice blonde? Ma'am, that color is Kraft American cheese. You can't have white eyebrows and yellow hair without looking insane.

[@kathiheckenlively3974]

I've never understood why they couldn't do the makeovers using computer simulation programs or wigs. She was creating a permanent solution to a temporary problem. In Cycle 6, the first photoshoot had the models imitate bald mannequins, but she didn't make everybody shave their heads for it. It's the same situation; most of these girls probably had portfolios with their "old" look, and if a client wanted a model with long brunette hair because of the photos and she shows up with blonde cropped hair because of Tyra's makeover, she probably won't get the job. Show them what they Could look like with the makeover, then leave them alone or let them choose to have the new look- don't FORCE them to have it or get eliminated automatically.

[@doclewis8927]

Phil does look better with the longer hair...not the cheap extentions but the real thing.

[@Paige-pk8dr]

What about Michelle in cycle 4 who had natural dark brown hair a platinum blonde haircut and then as time went on the brown started coming back especially at the roots and started looking horrible. They really should of kept up with her hair after she got it done

[@Downright_Iconic]

Also I saw an interview where she mentioned because they bleached her hair so intensely so fast, it burnt her scalp and left open sores which is how they think she got her skin infection on the show

[@renewd]

Molly's Dee Snider Twisted Sister mop was the worst - but she still worked it.
