Before and after pictures from a new hair makeover seen in January on What Not to Wear. This was one of the best changes in the popular show's long history. The guest lady went from long and plain to short and cute. The messy flips on her chin-length haircut make her sassy and sweet. You can see a new radiance and confidence, too, can't you? That's the true beauty of the program which keeps inspiring and transforming the women of America. (Courtesy TLC)
Kelly Rowland (29) with a cool crop! How do you like her stylish pixie with long bangs at sharp angles? It's basically a knockoff of the 2010 black hairstyles trend which was very short on one side. Kelly's cut, however, is better than its similar predecessors. It looks more sophisticated, elegant, and professional. There are finely razored ends and a few subtle highlights which are widely dispersed. It's perfect for work and doesn't need to be adjusted for a night out on the town.
Esmee Denters (22) with an extremely funky updo. Her hair has a loosely curled fringe and looks very messy. What is the inspiration? Upon closer inspection it appears to be 1950s rockabilly meets 1960s bouffant and 1980s punk. Only an uninhibited recording artist could accept multiple-era hairstyling in a new updo this wild. Is it wearable for anyone else? Removing the big front curl could make it sexy; otherwise it's merely a conversation topic.
