Or which makeovers left the contestants crying and questioning everything?
Wonder no more, as here are the best and worst makeovers inTop Modelhistory.
Despite the long locks she was supposed to have, Golden’s hair was completely shaved off.
“This is emotional, this is really hurting me,” Golden said in the makeover episode.
“I feel defeated.”
But when she put on a wig for the first time, she didn’t feel good about it.
“So for now, I’m just getting used to this look.”
Was it the easiest makeover process?
No, but Golden looked stunning after her transformation.
Plus, she made it all the way to the final four.
Whitehead would not budge.
“It wasn’t just cutting an inch and a half of hair for me.
The choice got her kicked off set, and she eventually left the competition.
Shortly after, she toldTV Guidethat she saw her long hair as “a form of self-expression.”
Her negative makeover experience and vehement rejection of the look solidified her as one ofTop Model’sleast successful transformations.
“My girlfriend had two stipulations.
She said, ‘Don’t come home with red hair, and don’t come home bald.’
“I don’t understand why people cry.
I don’t understand why people get upset.”
“Personally, I love my hair,” she said.
“I think that the boldness, the brightness meshes perfectly with who I am.”
Ferrel made it far in the competition, and she eventually tied for third place with contestant Jane Randall.
“I fully trust them.”
Kline went from small town girl to runway ready with an angular, bold cropped cut and bangs.
“I definitely don’t feel like myself anymore.
I’m a whole new person,” she said.
look she had envisioned.
O’Connell went along with it, but her slippery, fine hair was not ideal for a successful weave.
“It was just not looking like what a weave should look like.”
“I’m not happy with it whatsoever,” she eventually concluded.
She later said, “My hair is disgusting.
My whole head hurts.”
Despite the hair disaster, O’Connell didn’t let it get her down.
She was the runner up of her cycle, coming in second to Brittani Kline.
But a daring makeover can change everything, and Sullivan experienced the works.
And with the help of contacts, Sullivan really transformed in front of her fellow contestants' eyes.
She has since left the modeling business.
“Young sobbed as stylists cut her hair off, fearful of what the final result would look like.
But her fears were confirmed when she glanced at the look for the first time.
“I just feel so masculine.
“I don’t feel like you’re owning it.
I feel like you’re scared of that hair,” Banks said.
“I’m like ‘I gave her something so dramatic.
She can’t handle it.
Maybe she should just go home and count the days until her hair grows back.'”
She radiated fun, girly energy, but Tyra Banks was having none of that.
“Samantha looks like any girl walking in a mall with plastic earrings on.
She rocked a daring, angular pixie cut that instantly elevated her modeling and on-camera attitude.
“I know I look really, really fierce.
I don’t feel like girly-girl Sam.
I feel like a model,” Potter said after her transformation.
According toPopSugar, Potter later signed a modeling contract with LA Model Management.
Despite the hair catastrophe, LaFrate went on in the competition and eventuallyplaced second.
Her run-of-the-mill red hair was tired and not working in her favor.
“McKey, our little rough girl with the red hair.
She can have any hair in the world.
Banks clearly knew what she was doing with Sullivan’s look.
The model wore her short hair all the way to the cycle’s finale and became the winner.
She left the competition with a stunningportfolio of work, and went on to participate inNew York Fashion Week.
But hoping to put the past behind him, Wells embraced his makeover.
Maybe he shouldn’t have.
“This new look fits my personality,” she said of her new hair in Cycle 10.
Without a doubt, Thompson’s change was one ofthe most incredible transformations fromAmerica’s Next Top Modelmakeovers.
Thompson ultimately became the first plus-size winner ofTop Model.
“When I won, Tyra cried.
Some got hair color changes, one received a completely shaved head, and some even endured leg waxing.
But Phil Sullivan’s look took the cake when theTop Modelteam decided to give him extensions.
“They decided they would add hair and go with the Jesus look.
Not good,” Sullivan said on camera.
He wondered, “What are they doing to me?”
“I stand out everywhere I go,” Sullivan toldThe Boston Globe.
“People look at me funny.
They say ‘Dude, I love your beard.’
Straight guys have man crushes and always want to touch my beard.”
