I know its sad, but natural curly hair is not high fashion. Even with white girls u dont see them with curly hair. They want it straight or slick back.

And I say this all the time when Tyra gives makeovers, she know she's wrong cutting off all a black woman's hair then expect them to perform like a high fashion model.

And PS Did anyone notice that other black girl that wear the glasses? Tyra gave her contacts now. She was flirting with that male model during there photoshoot. Why did they give that girl a weave? Her hair looks exactly the same. If they wanted fullness then give her extensions, not a weave.

I have to disagree with that. I think a fro is more high fashion than a pixie. I would agree that the color wasn't high fashion. They could've dyed it darker and kept her curls, or even added some kinky hair to it to make it bigger. Jade, Yaya, Brandy, and this other girl can't remember her name all had natural hair and although they probably didn't win, they sure as hell looked high fashion in their shoots.

The thing that gets me is they've had natural girls on there before, and I can't recall them actually perming anyone else's hair. But Tara had been a bit of a crybaby the entire time she was there, so maybe they saw perming and cutting all of her hair off as a way to find an excuse to get rid of her? I do think it was wrong as hell to eliminate her for not liking her makeover though.
