I can think of worse things to refuse on the show than cutting one’s hair. Just look at how much some people mess up on the first day with the wardrobe. The haircut is a very small part of the makeover.

This is one of those episodes that irked me and it just aired again today. While I understand loving long hair, Lynn was :

a) On a make-over show and promised to take the advice of the professionals to achieve a new look in exchange for $5,000

b) in possession of some seriously ratty-ended hair

At least half-a-foot of her hair was nothing but nasty, split ends not even fit to donate to Locks of Love.

I would have asked for my $5,000 back, but probably by that point, the production costs exceeded that.

I could understand if her hair was healthy. I could understand if she didn’t agree to take the show’s money. Neither of these were the case. She gets no respect from me.

I pentecostal. I have been in church for four years now. I haven’t cut my hair in four years. There is nothing wrong with not cutting your hair…I mean after all, it is YOUR hair. So, she didn’t want her hair to be cut, she didn’t allow it…I CONMEND YOU!!! Thats what the world needs…someone who can stand up for that they believe, instead of trying to be like everyone else around them! We don’t cut our hair b/c its our choice! Its in the Bible, look it up: 1st Corinthians 11:14-15. We did. And we decided in our hearts that we made the SACRIFICE(!) for HIM(Jesus)! It really is a sacrifice, look at it this way: Everyone wants to fit in. Everyone wants to be in the croud. No one wants to be left out or made fun of. So, by not cutting our hair, we stand out. We don’t blend in with everyone else, and we do it b/c we know in our hearts thats is whats right. If I went on that show(which I love!!), I wouldn’t let them cut my hair our put makeup on me. Hands down! Thats my conviction! I’m 18 years old, a senior in high school. I know all about what people do and say about our believes. But thats what WE believe! We aren’t forcing you to believe this, like the media trys to everyday! We don’t make fun of everyone else’s believes, so why is it right for anyone to make fun of ours’? Long hair is for women…I mean, why would you want to look like a dude? Like I said earlier, its our belief. You don’t have to believe like we do, its totaly up to you.

GGGOOO LYNN!!!!!!! GO AHEAD WITH YOUR FABOULAS LONG HAIRED TALE! LOL.

Since when does a makeover have to be drastic to be a makeover? And I thought it was What Not To Wear, not ‘I tell you how horrible your hair looks, and you let me chop it off’ >.> Personally, I don’t like layers, and I don’t like bangs, or any of that dye/highlight junk >.> Blowfried, straightened hair isn’t pretty, it’s damaging. Long healthy hair is really pretty, and there’s a lot you can do with it, unless you’re too stubborn to think, or something. I don’t know.

In any case, people have their own preferences, so let them. I don’t think we’d appreciate beauty so much if everyone looked the same (which is why, I suppose, I appreciate long hair because it’s just very common, unless it’s treated somehow =/ )

I have a friend who goes to a pentecostal church. The women aren’t allowed to even trim her hair if they want to serve in any way. She’s been going to that church for a year and her hair is long but really dead. YUCK!

This episode was just on again. Lynn and her stubborn refusal to have her hair cut are the reason I’m online right now. It’s the first time I’ve ever done a web search for anything related to What Not to Wear.

Mostly I just wanted to know what “beliefs” she was sticking to. I know that some spiritual/religious beliefs include hair length, but generally they are simply about hair being long or short. Not many belief systems mandate that one NEVER cuts one’s hair.

I’ve got reasonably long hair, too. Not as long as Lynn’s, but it is somewhere between my bra and waist. If I ever went on a makeover show like this, I would NOT allow anyone to give me short hair. I would, however let them do anything with it as long as it could still be considered long.

I’ve had long hair, I’ve had REALLY short hair, I’ve had medium length hair, and I’m back again to long. I will never go back to short hair intentionally. The funny thing is, I stated growing my hair back out so I could later donate it to a worthy cause…but I’ve gotten greedy.

Lynn has long, lovely hair, but it IS looking a bit frazzled at the ends, and thin due the extra weight of it. She really could have used some long layers and a few inches off, just to address the ends and to give it a bit more movement.

Mandolyna, I agree with you 100%! Besides, Nick did offer to let her keep her long hair–but she definitely needed a trim and a few long layers. To everyone who says that the hosts are hypocritical: I understand what you’re saying, but let’s face it, most women with super long hair do not take the time daily to make it look like Stacy or Carmindy. I recently lopped off 11 inches (I’d been growing it for my wedding), and before I cut it off, I was wearing it in a ponytail almost every day because it was just too much work. With shorter hair, you can’t as easily just throw it into a ponytail, and so you are forced to put in more effort with the effect that you look nicer. At least, that’s been the case with me, and I think this is what the hosts are getting at.
