The Top 10 Most Memorable Makeovers in America’s Next Top Model History (5 of 6)

Bianca Golden — Cycle 9

Bianca’s makeover wasn’t what anyone expected, including her. Originally set to get blonde extensions, her hair was found to be too damaged to handle a color change that extreme. So the stylists just chopped it off and buzzed it short. What came of the big chop was a fierce, high fashion look that highlighted her bone structure and gave her a regal presence. It was a risky change, but it ended up being one of the best “plan B” makeovers in the show’s history.

Kayla Ferrel — Cycle 15

Kayla entered the competition with long, platinum curls that the judges felt masked her highest potential. Her makeover entailed a shorter, edgier cut in vivid red hues with bangs. It instantly made her one of the most eye-catching contestants of the session. The fiery color went very well with her personality and gave her an editorial versatility that she didn’t have before.
