What did they do w/ it? Shove it up underneath? Sorry but I am dumb to the business of weaves.

Her entire head was braided into cornrows in a circular or bullseye design. They then used thread and sewed tracks of hair on top of those braids. (Just as you would sew on a piece of fabric, just a different type of needle and thread.) They then cut the hair to the style we see it at today.

I don't know if they showed the actual sewing of the hair in the makeover episode, but they showed her getting her whole head braided bc she commented on how tight it was.

agreed. my sisters and i were like "oh" when Salisha was announced the winner. I hope that both Jenah and Chantal will both go on high fashion careers because they both deserved it more than Salisha...imho

Bianca of Cycle 9 was a model at Fashion Week for Chris March of Project Runway! (no worries if you are watching PR - all 5 finalists did a show at Bryant Park.) Check her out at

She is the first model in the blue dress.

Looks like Bianca's in the headlines again: http://www.tmz.com/2008/08/01/hairsp...a-bitch-fight/

Cops tell us the two got into an "altercation" in the departure lounge at the Providenciales airport in the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean -- and by altercation, we hear it was an all-out family brawl! A spy at the airport that day tells us the fight was over saving seats in the lounge -- Nikki was saving five seats for her fam, and Bianca's family wanted to sit. That's when we're told the huge fight erupted -- with the entire families on both sides throwing down, yelling and cursing.

The action got so bitchtastic, says another spy, that one member of the Golden team actually bit Nikki's foot. Tyra would be so proud!

I loved Nikki Blonsky in HAIRSPRAY. Bianca can just jump into traffic for all I care.

Eh, from what I've read this week I can't stand Nikki. She sounds like a total b*tch, as does her father... Not a fan at all anymore.

Daaaaaang, Bianca's mom had to be airlifted to the hospital? Crap, that's bad.

"Tyra would be proud?"
