ANTM's Top Model Tresses feat. Kendal Brown

Kendal Brown

ANTM's Cycle 15 features five black beauties with very different personalities and hairstyles to suit their distinct modelesque features. The girls went from ordinary to extraordinary thanks to their style makeovers compliments of Tyra's glam squad. The hairstylists went to work on creating a new look for each girl giving them all trendsetting hair styles that we here at Black Hair Trends just had to feature.

Now here's the hair trend analysis along with my little two cents about the show and yes I know this is a hair blog but I do watch the show too so I have to splurge my opinion. The new looks are quite drastic for some and expected for others. My two favorite hair trends here are the very long sleek tresses on Kendal and the sexy bouncy waves that Chris rocks so well.

Kacey

Long hair is the dominant trend with Kendal and Kacey getting the long sleek look. Kendal's hair is the longest of this bunch and suits her superb supermodel silhouette while Kacey's hair is long but only goes to the middle of her back as opposed to Kendal's almost waist length hair.

Chris

Chris gets luscious wavy just past the shoulder length tresses while Terra and Liz were given the big chop much to their displeasure. The hair trends as we see here differ from model to model and as such in black hair trends generally you should go with a look that is suited to your facial features and personality. What looks good on you is what works for you.

I can't fail to mention that I'm writing this article just after Kendal got cut from the bunch , she was preceded by Terra and Kacey respectively.

However here is where my two cents comes in, I was really disappointed to see Kendal get the axe so early in the show since she is in my opinion the only contestant in this cycle who really looks like she has "IT". Even though the show's producers suggested otherwise in their editing given the clips we saw, Mr. Jay's attitude to her with the sabotage accusations and the bashing from the judges who deemed her as dispassionate at best.

Well, well , well Tyra if you really wanted a real Top Model guess what you won't be having one from Cycle 15 cause you eliminated her in Episode 7. Ann maybe, but booking shows will be a challenge for her and every known supermodel is on top when it comes to booking shows a la Naomi, Chanel Iman, Alek Wek, Liya Kebede and the legendary Iman herself just to name few. Whether it's a Black or Caucasian supermodel they all have one thing in common and it's that they are all runway regulars.

Kendal needs development and any one with a clue of the industry should know that. I think they saw potential but gave up too soon on their best shot to a real runway walking "Top Model" who could actually book shows and Kendal would be the one. However it's not over for her , it would be nice if Kendal gets what I call the "Episode 7 Elimination to Elevation Jennifer Hudson Effect"!

J-Hud was also eliminated in the seventh round of the  competition. She took a bashing from the judges especially Simon who had to turn over couple years after and apologize to the only AI contestant who can claim the titles of being both a Grammy & Oscar winner. Now that's what I call sweet revenge; it's called "Significant Success"! Not bad for 7th place, I think Kendal can do the same, just give her some time, some training and development she can work hard and reach the top too cause she sure does look like a supermodel already!

Kendal Brown - Now Tyra this is a what a bookable "top model" looks like

I mean c'mon when you hear a high fashion designer like "the" Diane Von Furstenberg say I would book Kendal right now on the spot what else is there to say that speaks for itself...That's my two cents and now that I let that out we can get back to discussing hair, just keep it locked right here for my next post!
