It is the first day of summer. While to many this means longer days, barbecues, ice cream trucks, and lounging in the sun, Tyra sees summer as a critical time to revamp her style. As America's Top Model Extraordinaire, there is no way she can be seen donning a look from last season. So we decided to help her.
Braiding her long tresses, we first gave her a Caribbean-inspired look that would make her ready to hit the beach and join up with the Rastafarians.
This coiffure also made her resemble a certain malevolent creature in ancient mythology. Especially when hung upside down. She was a great asset to a prank on fellow pod mates.
Unfortunately, Tyra did not prefer to be hanging from the doorframe. So we decided that she was not cut out for such an exotic look. Knowing that "retro" is in, we thought that an 80s big hairdo could be attractive.
Total dreckitude.
So we quickly pulled it back and added some cats to give it more of a 1700s Marie-Antoinette feel.
Exquisite, a complete work of art. But the cats became restless and scurried away, leaving Tyra in a bigger mess than she started off with. So we were left with only one more option. The chopping block.
With extremely limited experience as a cosmetologist, I audaciously took charge of the hair reduction process. Tyra held her breath in anticipation for her next hairy disaster.
Liz held Tyra's hand while I snipped and razed her long polyester locks.
Yet there was no need for fear. Dozens of minutes later, I set down the scissors and turned Tyra around. With a short layered bob, and a piece of flair, our friend can now be proud of her hair.
Now what will she desire when fall comes rolling around?
