FACTS. We had a clear winner and @.Rei had to ruin it.

No rules for the final ranking. You can include the teeth since that is the most memorable change for Joanie, or not since it wasn’t in the makeover episode. Either way she doesn’t make it very high on my list and made last place overall. Yeah, Joanie had an improvement with some dental work but I strongly believe that permanent dental work should not be done overnight like that. I hope that it hasn’t given her any issues over the years. 

 

Alex - 20/20

Quote

Sure she's slightly better as a blonde. Does that make it one of the best makeovers in ANTM history? No. And if her teeth are included, they massacred the poor girl at the dentist's office and that's an automatic last place.

 

Richard - 20/20

Quote

Wow, so drastic!!!11 But actually, hair aside, her tooth makeover *was* pretty drastic, as in irreversible. Little change to her hair combined with a permanent change to her mouth solidifies her at the bottom of my ranking.

What was the point of giving her that abomination of a makeover in All-Stars when we know how she can deliver with long hair?

 

Derek - 16/20

Quote

Bre served some amazing lewks over Cycle 5 and actually changed her hairstyle a lot which is why her makeover doesn’t really stand out in my mind. She can work any look, she looked great before she looked great after and she looked great in every way that the team styled her for photoshoots or that she styled herself for panel.

Derek - 15/20

Quote

She definitely needed a makeover and I do think the makeover made her stand out and possibly kept her around for more weeks than production expected. But yeah, the fire engine red and the middle-aged woman cut didn’t do her any favors and she honestly needed a second makeover after this because she had amazing potential.

 

Alex - 18/20

Quote

I do love the red hair on her, but I think a few shades lighter would've been better. I feel like it got better as the season went on. But the initial makeover was a bit too...clownish?

 

Richard - 19/20

Quote

I like the idea behind what she was given, but I think it was a bit too limiting of a makeover. And sort of a Karen cut, too, if I'm being frank.

Similar to Tiffany. The long hair really worked for her and she knew how to werk it.

Remember when Eugena said that the Cycle 6 girls were really boring? Lmao. Eugena’s makeover isn’t one that I would put in the record books, but it’s still better than some of these here.

Wow I didn’t expect April to be so polarizing lololol. I think this is one of the best. Her styling before was way too plain and like Alex said the bangs worked and she kept them all cycle. I just wish they used the bangs in literally any of the photoshoots lol

 

Alex - 5/20

Quote

 

 

I love when a bangs makeover goes well. I'm glad Tyra went a bit darker on her without going too dark. And she just completely rocked the bangs all season

 

 

[FrogLenzen]

Even though we have an even number of rankers, I was able to break the all ties with my usual method because at least 7/12 people ranked one higher than the other

[rdhaley96]

No big complaints so far. lol at Joanie’s average compared to Bre’s.

Wow what did cute bangs ever do to y'all???

This shouldn’t have worked because on paper this is ridiculous.  However, it forced India to pop.

 

Richard - 6/20

Quote

ANTM definitely opted for more experimental colors towards the end of its run, and I liked this one! The purple sort of ombre elevated India's look without looking too tacky or out-there.

 

Alex - 19/20

Quote

It's kinda cute, but it's too silly to actually be versatile. Most of the post All-Stars makeovers are just Tyra seeing how far she can push it. This is one that she's lucky wasn't a complete disaster. But it's still very unserious.

 

Derek - 20/20

Quote

Lol the pink didn’t work for me with Sophie and it didn’t work for me here either. It just washes out so fast.

Honestly the afro was also a serve even if it needed to be refreshed haha. We see a lot of the straight black weaves and I like that Aminat’s had those waves and it really suited her.

 

Alex - 13/20

Quote

I loved her natural hair and would've loved for them to keep that. Having said that, I also loved her makeover. One of the cases where she already started off good, and the makeover was good.

 

Richard - 13/20

Quote

She looked good both with and without the afro. Part of me wishes she were the one to not get a makeover instead of Natalie, because seeing black girls sporting afros on the show is rare, while Naomi weaves are a dime a dozen.

I will always remember how much Ebony loved that free hahahaha. Not the hugest difference if you squint, but I’m giving extra points to how badly Ebony needed to have that wig cement removed from her head. 

 

Alex - 10/20

Ebony should've just quit after getting that free makeover. Would've saved her some time and she would've gotten what she needed out of the experience. But for our sake I'm glad she didn't .

I can't believe Brittany was ever a blonde because this brown hair is a million times better for her. It's very rare for Tyra to take a blonde white girl and darken her. But in this scenario it was completely the right call. One of the most underrated makeovers, I'm pleasantly surprised it made it to the end here.

 

Derek - 7/20

Quote

Tyra was always really reluctant to let white girls go brown and I don’t get it. Tyra either goes peepee blonde or really fake black. This looked stunning and made her stand out in the best way.

 

Richard - 9/20

Quote

Probably my second favorite blonde to dark makeover aside from Raina (who was unsurprisingly but disappointingly shafted here). Brittany definitely pulled off this look, and I think the fact that she's kept it dark ever since speaks for itself.

Going blond on Top Model is hit or miss.  In this case it took a model who had star quality and made her looks match what she could do.  Total slam dunk.

 

Alex - 16/20

Quote

Did the weave kinda fall apart on her at times? Yes. Did Jenah look a thousand times better with long blonde hair? Also yes.

 

Richard - 17/20

Quote

The blonde was a good call, but the extensions ended up looking quite ratty. She definitely pulled the look off in pictures. But in person... nope. 

 

Derek - 19/20

Quote

Jenah going platinum is a good idea in theory but in execution I would never have this in the finals. They totally fried her hair and the extensions were a mess and either didn’t teach her how to maintain it or didn’t provide the products that she needed to maintain it. By the end it was a big reason for her downfall because they told her she looked messy in person.

One of the best examples of the icy blonde makeover working. It works for her skintone so well and completely elevated her as a model. For some models the icy blonde was too light. For Erin it was perfect.

 

Richard - 7/20

Quote

Platinum makeovers on ANTM can be very hit or miss, but I think Erin definitely pulled it off, especially in her pictures. I'm not so sure I loved the bleached brows, but that's the only drawback for me.

 

Derek - 8/20

Quote

I couldn’t decide where to put this. Honestly I don’t love it at all and despise the eyebrows but it is iconic and it didn’t hold Erin back at all in the cycle. I think it helped her last as long as she possibly could in her cast. So it evens out I guess

My winner if we can’t have Shandi. Tyra literally invented Fo and started her career with this. Fo is one of the most successful models to come out of the show and she kept this haircut after the cycle because it was correct and what she needed. Sometimes Tyra’s drastic ideas can be 100% on the money, who knew

 

Richard - 8/20

Quote

As much as Fo didn't like this makeover initially, it definitely elevated her look, which she eventually agreed with as she kept the makeover for many years after the show. Now that she works as a plus-sized model, she's grown it out into longer, curly locks. But the pixie was a good call that clearly worked out in her favor for a long time.

 

Alex - 11/20

I still can't believe what a baby Fo was over getting one of the best makeovers on the show.

They pretty much had to get away from blonde or the Allison comparisons would've killed her. Definitely my favorite red hair makeover on this show. I greatly prefer her with the red hair than blonde.

 

Derek - 13/20

Quote

Another one that falls to the middle for me. I like it, I think she was improved, not super excited about the shade of red but the idea of red for Nina made sense to me. Bangs were fun. I just kept putting others higher as I looked at this list.

Quote

I feel like this is a case of them not knowing the best way to make someone blonde. She should have had multiple sessions and a lot of toner to make this more natural and less peepee. But I think lightening her hair was the right call and she rocked it in most of the photoshoots so she lands here in my rankings.

 

Alex - 14/20

Quote

Obviously the blonde did wonders for her. If we couldn't have Shandi's amazing blonde makeover here, I'm glad we at least have Amanda's. I still can't believe I'm not ranking Shandi number one, honestly what was the point of this round if we're not giving Shandi the win? But yeah, Amanda. Sometimes, it looked maybe a bit too light. But still, blonde is clearly her look.

 

Richard - 15/20

Quote

Great idea, sort of eh execution. I think if she were given more of a true icy/platinum color, I'd be more on board with this look. She did turn it out in pictures, though.

 

Sola - 20/20

Quote

This is a case where I like the model but I don’t think the makeover did anything for them. I ultimately like her original hair color more, but I like the length added with the makeover.

Probably my favorite short cut from the series. Her 'before' hair did absolutely nothing for her, so I like that it was chopped off and dyed to a nice jet black. Really helped to accentuate her jawline and features.

 

Alex - 17/20

Quote

I actually liked the red on her, but I prefer the black and think dying it was the right choice. Don't love the cut though.

 

Derek - 17/20

Quote

What Alex said. It’s not about the color, it’s the cut. If this was a full Mia Farrow she might be a lot higher for me.

 

[Alex95]

Very strong top three. Hope to see either of my top two win, but I'd be happy to see the other one win as well.

[*Chris]

I was starting to be afraid that I was the only one who didn't care for McKey's makeover.
