I think Lynn made a HUGE mistake by not allowing her hair to be cut! Hair can grow back! Nick proved, from prior guests, that girls were happy with his decisions. She should try to apply some makeup now and then...it definitely made a great difference to her. I don't get it...why did she even go on the show? I thought the point of it was to change herself and try new things. What a shame, especially since her boyfriend is very attractive.
I tuned in late so I didn't see that she had a boyfriend. That surprises me. Her looks send a signal to "stay away from me." She really needs to cut that hair. How could she possibly think it looks good? She made a comment at the end that the reason she didn't cut it was "her belief."

She acted as if he were to cut her hair that it would bleed or something, I would love anything that Nick would do with my hair. I think it was a big dissapointment...Nick is about half the reason that I watch the show
Thank You! I totally agree, i glad she got some new clothes because lord knows she needed them. but i mean what were her strong "beliefs" that she needed to stick to that prevented her from cutting her hair?? i was disappointed. I mean nick wasn't going to shave her bald, there could have been a equal meduim. And the make up thing, now that might have been a bit much for her, but she could still do make up but alot lighter than what carminde did. and look great! People see the show they know how it goes, and if your not up to change then why do it?? its a total makeover. I think her hair aged her at least 10 years she looked like she was way over 40. She did look nice but at the end of the show with her makeup done, but I think there is so much more potential that is there.
Lynn needs counseling or something if she's including her hair in her "beliefs." I can't BELIEVE she destroyed the opportunity to have Nick cut her hair. What a wasted program tonight was. Why does TLC even allow her to be on the show? She took someone else's opportunity to blossom. I really missed seeing Nick work his magic tonight. Please don't let other people pull that kind of behavior and waste a show again.
OKAY!!! I am very upset with tonights show. Not because she didn't cut her hair, no I'm not mad at that at all. I am proud of her! GO LYNN, more power to ya! I have never cut my hair. I am 20 years old and MY hair is not lymp, stringy,or dead. Her hair was gorgeous. I am upset with NICK'S impression that everybody has to have shoulder length hair to pretty. BULL HOCKY! She was beautiful with her long hair. Nick needs to learn how to be a hair stylist instead of a barber, who wants to wack on everybody's hair. If Nick was as good as what he thinks he is, he would have gotten a few bobby pins(he probably doesn't even know what one is), hair spray, and a curling iron and done amazing stuff with all of her hair. Another thing, it's not like she didn't want anything done to her hair, she asked Nick to help her and he was to wrapped up in his SHORT HAIR world to even realize how much potiental she had!!!!! After tonight I don't know if I will ever watch it again. Goes to show what most people think about women with long hair.
There really are people that believe that God wants women to have long hair. Having said that, she could have cut a foot off and it would have at least looked healthier and it still would have been long. I think the (religious)idea is for women to have long hair, but not to never get a cut. She did mention church a few times, so I get the feeling that this is what she meant by her beliefs.
I have no problem with her personal beliefs. The fact that she was so strong is great. My problem is that she nominated herself for the show. She knows what it is about. And Nick said just cutting of a little bit could make a big difference. She wouldn't let Nick do anything, if I had Nick's reputation I would not have touched it either. It was horrible nasty hair and she looked fifty when she hair the big haior going on and even worse with it pulled away from her face! It is gret that she has strong beliefs in whatver she chose, but don't nominate yourself for this kind of show if it is not in your moral map.
Not to mention, someone posted on another string, if her beliefs are really what is important to her, then she could have cut 10" of that hair (though it was limp and stringy) and donated it to Locks of Love, so children who are going through cancer treatements or who have diseases where they lose their hair could benefit from it. Either case - don't nominate yourself for a makeover show, take money that isn't yours in an agreement to transform yourself, and then refuse to do it.

I just can not believe the ignorance. Read the New Testament somewhere around I Corinthians 11! "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering" That is just one verse out of Chapter 11 the whole chapter talks about women and having long hair. That is in the HOLY BIBLE! I will have to agree that Lynn didn't know a way to style her hair but that doesn't mean that it is unhealthy. I have long beautiful healthy, not dead hair and cutting my hair or her hair is going to make it any healthier. With having long hair it is easier to throw it up in a bun (I know how it is with working a 40 hr week job and a college kid) but that gives Nick no right to be harsh about it!
I agree with everyone who believes Lynn should have cut her hair. Nick did not want to take that much off. It looked like it was only going to be 6 inches or so. Her hair lacked any style and the ends were broken. What bothers me the most about it that she nominated herself. Her attitude about the makeover was so bad. If she wasn't willing to listen to the experts why bother going on the show in the first place and waste their time and the sponser's money.
My mother, sister and I are huge fans of What Not To Wear and are very disapointed with tonight's episode! We feel that a very important rule that all participating guests should have to agree to is that Nick cuts your hair. The three of us struggle to be able to afford 1 shirt or a decent hair cut. If they don't agree to giving Nick free reign they should not be given the 5,000.00. There are plenty of people out here who would give anything to have an expert such as Nick, make us as beautiful as we can possibly be. I truly feel that not participating in every aspect of the show is a real lack of respect for all of these talented people. The money should be taken back and given to people like us who appreciate the skills of Nick, Carmondy, Clinton & Stacy. So at the begining of the episodes from now on they should have to agree to go to NY hand over their entire wardrobe and allow all hair and makeup changes before they are handed that visa card!

Uh, did you not think the 8 or so inches of hair with dead, split ends that Nick held up constituted unhealthy hair?

As I remember, Nick's hand was about under her breasts. That wasn't shoulder length hair. He held up 6 inches of dead hair. That wasn't beautiful. Even long haired women need to trim their hair even so often to make it look healthy!
This is a show about changes. If you don't want to change, then don't be on the show.
My co-worker has her hair just below her shoulders. She let's it grows down to her bottom of her back. She cut's it off and donates it.
I go to an Pentecost church and A LOT of them have really long hair and don't cut it but it does not look like a hair ball at the ends either. If Lynn liked her hair long, then why did she let the ends go to the dogs. I am not buying it. I think she thought it was a cute thing to do at the mall, never thought she would get picked, and then the true selfish idiot came out.
Hi I was also disappointed in tonight's show. I wish I could have one appointment with Nick so I could get a a great haircut. Even if Lynn didn't want the length cut off, she should have cut off the dead ends. If she was afraid of short hair, then why was her hair tied up in a bun all of the time.
To Starla_peveler Noone is saying she's not entitled to her beliefs but she shouldn't have nominated herself for a show that is all about changing your appearance if she didn't want to change. He didn't want to make her hair short just healthy. Did you see the ends of her hair. She could have helped a poor child with cancer with all that hair she had and still had incredibly long hair. IT GROWS BACK! regaurdless it was a waiste of an episode and wrong to nominate yourself when sooooo many other girls could really use and benefit from all the help.
Okay back to the whole biblical issue - I again completely understand her beliefs taht is fine, great - but if you are going to go with the biblical stance that women should be plain and unadorned then don't go on WNTW. Yes I Cor 11 talks about women not cutting her hair, if you are going to carry over everything that was moe tradition of the times (i.e. Long hair, head coverings, not reavelaing any skin)then you have to carry them all over. If you want to take everything in the Bible word for word then in I Tim 2 - it says that women should dress in modes, not costly apparrel, with no gold or pearls. Was it my imagination or did she not wear jewelry, makeup and try to fix up the hair.
Also we are assuming that this is based on biblical principles, please don't assume that just because we don't agree with what she did that we are ignorant about the bible.
I have shoulder length hair, I really don't think God is going to condemn me for cutting my hair. We have lost a lot of the "traditions" of the time.
My co-worker has her hair just below her shoulders. She let's it grows down to her bottom of her back. She cut's it off and donates it.
Now that people, in my book, is beautiful.
melbarr - you have had the best insights so far!
Also, in response to this comment:
"I just can not believe the ignorance. Read the New Testament somewhere around I Corinthians 11! "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering" That is just one verse out of Chapter 11 the whole chapter talks about women and having long hair. That is in the HOLY BIBLE!"
Okay, be that as it may, like everyone else has said, she agreed to the terms of the show.
Furthermore, to understand this scripture we need to understand what the situation was like in Corinth. At this time Corinth was known for its immorality and perversity. The men that were sexually perverted had long hair, whereas women with long hair were seen as pure, as the whores in Corinth had shaved heads. Hence, a simple explanation for the commands about hair length. It was a simple tool to differentiate between the 'pure' people and the perverse.
So this is NOT God's commandment to all women throughout time to have long hair, but Paul's specified advice for the people in Corinth - in biblical times! It's 2006!
Let's also not forget that "God doesn't look on our outer look but He looks at our hearts!" (1 Samuel 16:7). Isn't the point that God doesn't care if you have long or short hair, but instead cares that you are living for Him? If God cares soley about hair-length and this is His measure of 'goodness', then this definitely not the type of God that I find to be almighty and pure.
And if we are going to stick on the Biblical slant here, is it not being like a Pharisee to go on national television and repeat over & over that you won't cut your hair because of your beliefs? Just pat yourself on the back if no one else will!
Sorry, but I am a Christian and the whole attempt at an argument of Biblical guidelines as justification for Lynn's behavior is just ridiculous to me.
Thank for the great insight! I love it how people will pick one verse out of the Bible and use it suit their needs. There are alot of things that can be misinterpreted if you don't use the context and history. I think it is a real shame that we are called ignorant because we don't understand WHY SHE NOMINATED HERSELF
I'm glad to see I was not the only one disappointed by Lynn refusing to cut her hair. Why was she there? She didn't look any better afterwards... What a waste of the talents of Stacy, Clinton, Carmindy, and especially Nick. she should have to give back the money and put on someone who would appreciate the talent and money. Booooooooooooooooo to Lynn and to the dummies who picked her.
The issue may be that when she is with her boyfriend her hair covers her body - Lady Godiva style - and she WAS insecure about her body or she would not have nominated herself to make it look better. Her beliefs...the cover up...pun intended. In any event the show was lame due to the hair issue.
I don't believe it was a biblical thing at all. I heard her say at one point her hair was who she was! It was purely a vain belief she was talking about not any kind of religion.
Anyway, Just wanted to make it clear that it was an aweful episode- and didn't see any kinda email contact so I got on the board. I hope that the producers are aware of everyone's strong feelings.
To the ignorant comment---- IT'S A TELEVISION SHOW!!!!
Why would Lynn nominate herself for a show that is clearly a "makeover" show if she did not really want a makeover. She should have never took the money if she knew she wouldn't cut her hair and wear the makeup. I think she was really misleading. It would have been a wonderful show if she would have decided to cut the hair and donated it.

Worst WNTW episode ever! Lynn was truely being a major drama queen and I could use another word but ya can gues what word I wanted to use. And it seems she hurt the stylist feelings with not letting her hair get cut and saying she won't keep the make up. If she's gonna be an ungrateful drama queen then why did she nonimate herself to be on the show? I think she just wanted to be seen on TV, ughh...Ughh..if I ever met her I'd shop her hair off myself and God isn't gonna strike me down cause of it!..I say demand the money back and toss her tape into the trash. >

I agree Vonnie- I'm not sure if her reasons were biblical but if they were- well she sure seems to have selective morality- fraud, not to mention arrogance, doesn't seem to bother her, and her behaviour on the show constitutes just that. In addition- even if her reasons did have some biblical basis- there isn't a biblical injunction against good grooming and maintenance- even the Amish men trim their beards!
Wow - I, too, really have to voice my surprise at tonight's show. My husband and I love WNTW and we were both pretty shocked that Lynn chose not to have Nick work his magic on her hair. He does some really amazing cuts and it was a shame that he wasn't able to lift Lynn's hairstyle up a notch.
Otherwise, I think the team did a really amazing job (as usual) with makeup and finding clothes that fit her body. The added lengthening of the jacket cuffs was a great addition, too.
I really love WNTW and enjoy seeing how the team can work with so many different body sizes and personalities. I still love it!
Alright. I have just jumped onto the computer to see if TLC has CHAT BOARDS so that I can be very clear that should this episode ever be aired again, that I will NEVER watch TLC AGAIN!!!! My 'screen name' is HATENANNYEPISODE!!!! Can rules be put into the contract that staate that some change to hair AND make up are a MUST??!?!?!? I stayed up late tonight to see the show that I missed earlier and I have completely wasted my time. I had a great DVD to watch!! I hope that someone from TLC will sign on, or get on TV to apologize and let everyone know that LYNN has to give BACK ALL OF HER CLOTHES. Do NOT nominate yourself and take an opportunity away from some deserving, non-self centred, non-egotistical, greatful person wanting a new look to inspire a turning point in their life. I can just picture her now........overalls, sweat shirt and her gross hair in that HUGE bun on the top of her ugly head. LYNN!!!! Your HAIR IS UGLY!! CUT IT!
Well, tonight's episode was certainly disappointing. I joined My TLC tonight specifically to say this:
Of all the things I've seen on this show, tonight's contestant takes the cake. If I were someone who had nominated herself for the show along with Lynn, I would be - OFF. Not only was this woman unwilling to get into the spirit of the show, she refused to get the whole experience. All or nothing, I say. She should not have taken that money, I think that was very dishonest of her.
As for Nick being harsh with her--hey, that's the show. They tell it like it is, that's the point. I will never understand why people have long hair they consider so "beautiful"--and then do absolutely nothing with it to show it off. Scraping it back into a bun or a fishtail braid everyday--yep, that's really showing off it's natural luster. I think what really gets me is that she was very closed-minded about the whole thing, and frankly I don't think she "took a stand." I think she took the safe, easy way out.
Next time, give the five grand to someone who braves the whole experience, no matter how scary it seems!

I disgree with you all, she has gorgous hair why should she cut it because you all are jealous. You want her to cut her hair because you get some sick vindictive feeling you enjoy watching girls with super long hair get their hair chop off. Sorry to say but with some make up and clothes she looked good. Sorry to tell you ladies but men like girls with hair like hers or at least a little past the shoulders they dont like girls with short hair. you just want to have some feeling of watching someone who has somthing you can never achieve to be taken off them. This country and the woman in it have become sick and perverted unless they can watch a girl get her hair chopped off they cant be happy with the makeover. When they see a girl with hair like hers they harass and tell her to cut her hair. I saw the crowd Cheer as Ann curry and the woman with Knee length hair get their hair chopped off like it was some mob riot or somthing I think it stems from jealousy because alot of woman hate a girl like that because men notice a girl with super long hair and ignore girls with short hair half of you on this board probably have short hair and hate her because she has somthing you dont have and gets attention. A sad thing today woman are looking more like men instead of woman the media and the feminist have pumped that into your head that a woman with long hair is a disgraced and should cut it immediately if they dont they are being selfish because locks of love needs it. So what if she keeps it for her christian beliefs. I Corinthians 11! "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering" Thats the problem with the people have listen to the fems, Media and securlists instead . stop being brain washed by the liberal media. I see by how angry you all are right now that you have become jalous people when you need a girl like that to cut her hair so you can have 5 minutes of happiness I will say this again Lynn hair is gorgous in fact once she put some makeup on and clothes she looked good her hair enhanced her look case closed.

mean spirited? she was off-putting and rude to the people she asked to help her. thank god all of you felt as we did, we were burnt. we usually end up liking the girls, but this one, even after an hour, made no headway with us.
I couldn't agree more ... she should have cut her hair. I mean, Nick wasn't being unreasonable ... he wasn't asking her to cut her hair shoulder length or shorter ... actually, he wasn't even asking her to cut it shorter than elbow length ... just 6 or so inches to cut off the dead ends, because, let's face it ... ALL of the hair that he held up was dead ends. I have extremely long hair as well (past my derriere), and I am very attached to it as well ... the last time I got it CUT was probably 7 years ago ... but I do get the dead ends cut off every so often to keep it healthy. If I was on WNTW, I TOTALLY would have let Nick cut my hair ... I would have let him do practically anything to it, as long as I still had length (shoulder length-ish). I was very disappointed in this episode just for that reason. I think Carmindy was a bit ticked off at her too, and that's why she gave her a FULL face of make-up ... I don't think I've EVER seen Carmindy apply THAT much eye makeup to someone ... don't get me wrong, I thought it was beautiful (though one eye was smaller than the other, it was bothering me), but it was a good deal more eye makeup than she normally puts on people.
Mean-spirited would be saying: "Hope all her hair falls out tomorrow." I think folks here are just venting at a woman who knew the rules and didn't want to abide by them.
Then again, this eppy has probably generated more controversy than any other...so maybe TLC will opt for a few more 'surprises' just to get folks talking about the show. Y'all know what they say, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."
WNTW SHOW EXECS...Listen up...DO NOT ALLOW SHOW PARTICIPANTS TO DRIVE WHAT YOUR SHOW IS ABOUT. ALL MAKEOVER PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO GET MADE OVER! Seriously...so if Lynn decides not to cut her hair, will the next show depict someone who will not follow Stacy and Clinton's fashion rules, no, they have to do what they are told, that is why we watch! Don't make this mistake again; make them sign on to agree to each part of the make over. And Lynn could really use a hair cut; it took away from what your show is all about. Bad call Mr. or Ms. Producer!
GET OVER IT ALREADY! It was just one show. It's not going to start any new trend of contestants not following the rules. And by the way, as disappointed as we were that she didn't let Nick cut her hair, it obviously was NOT a rule she had to follow. Otherwise, they would not have completed or aired the episode.

It's really to bad you feel this way, because the hair part of the show is like the best part, and you really see people transform when Nick does his magic. I think you really missed the point, he didn't want to cut it short he wanted to take all the split ends off which would have been 6 or 7 inches. which still would have left her with beauiful long hair!!!

Actually, I think he was very kind about it and the truth is it's extremely difficult to work with hair that long. Everyone's hair is different and hair at that length ca be hard to manage into a creative kind of way. Though your hair may be long and you have an easy time working with it it is most likely different for her. My mother's been a nationwide known professional hair stylist for 12 years and I spent most of my days growing up in her shop since it was so close to school and there was no one else to look after me and I have seen more than my share of different hair types and so many are horrendous to work with. Hair can be really disobedient. My hair's been well past my waist and it was such a hassle just because my hair was so difficult tht I couldn't even get it tied into a bun without it freaking or coming undone and looking like crap. Even my mom would have to go through an entire box of bobby pins and a full can of hairspray to put my hair up in a simple updo. Also, considering the fact that she's a mother, she doesn't have time to do herself up with bobbypins and hairspray and whatever else it takes to tame her hair. It's beautiful hair I'll give her that but she's not using much off that bottom part. I had long hair for 6 years and I finaly made the decision to cut it not only for a change but moreso for a good cause. I think that the people on the show should make it a point for people who are having a hard time parting with their hair (those who qualify at least, that would defnitely be Lynn) to not only try something new but go for a good cause instead of just a fashion statement by donating their locks. I felt so good about myself afterwards that I didn't even think about my hair being gone. My hair's been short for about 4 months and I love it. It's so much more comfortable and easy to manage. I think it was slightly unfair for you to rag on Nick like that. He's a very gentle considerate and talented stylist. Oh! And if you've ever tried using a curling iron on hair that length to try and get it to do something reasonable you'd know that your arm starts to feel like it's falling off. And he did do some nice things with the way she looked! I liked her hair combed over to the side when she was showing off her final outfits. There's not much more he can do to reasonably show her how to dress herself back home. Sorry for all that writing ^_^; it just kinda bugged me...

omg.... ok people. I've seen this kind of reply so much. Nick was the nicest he could be! I've met some pretty nasty hairstylists who don't give a hoot about what you want but only their art. He was very gentle in the way he spoke to her and very genuine. Look back on that episode and think about it. He didn't get nasty with her he didn't throw a fit, he respected her decision. I've met enough hairstylists in my life to know that she got it good. My mom's been a professional cosmetologist for 12 years and I pratically lived in all the shops she worked at. I'd give anything to have Nick do my hair instead of my mom ^_^; I'm her daughter so she's pretty rough with me but I've never seen happier clients than the ones sitting in her chair. haha. Anyways, take it easy on the guy, he's good at what he does and your comments kind of make you sound spoiled...

I beg to differ. Lynn not wanting her hair cut made me think "Oh no! Now he's not gonna be able to do much with it at all!" but when she came out at the end with her new style and her hair swept to the side it proved to me "wow, even though they didn't get the style they were hoping for they still managed to make her look beautiful." It presents more of a chalenge to the stylist and I think they all pulled off her new style with flying colors. I loved the episode. It was much better to watch than all those negative people who's replies were all "oh, I hate this or that and this is ugly" She was totally responsive to all their input and she took it all really well. I thought the episode was extremely interesting. So blah! ^_^

AHHHHH!!!! I shriek in your face! You sound so spoiled! That one thing got to you so bad that you didn't even notice that she was so much more responsive and accepting of the stylists' input than almost any other person I've seen on the show! All the other contestants freak out and go against every other rule aside from hair and you don't even notice ThAt?? I thought the episode was fun. Oh, and sorry to sound so nasty about all this. I'm only 18 and I almost feel sick reading all the upset replies in regards to this episode, especially yours. Listen to yourself. My ! Go outside and Read a Book or something!!! Watch that DVD! News Flash, It's a DVD! You can watch it tomorrow if you want! All the other contestants that come on the show were egotistical and self-centered. They took at least a thousand of that show's given dollars and bought the same style they are trying to get rid of!!! AHHHHHHH!!! AgAiN!!! I thought Lynn turned out beautiful... and she was greatful -_-; You make me sad, person...

Originally posted by sarahandjon: Why would Lynn nominate herself for a show that is clearly a "makeover" show if she did not really want a makeover. She should have never took the money if she knew she wouldn't cut her hair and wear the makeup. I think she was really misleading. It would have been a wonderful show if she would have decided to cut the hair and donated it.
I agree very much so with the suggestion of donating her hair. However, I'm pretty sure I saw her wearing make-up and distinctly heard her say "I'd like to see what (whatever her name is) is going to do with my make-up."
Ok, wow... I left so many replies to other people I didn't even get to dedicate one message to what I really wanted to say. I'm fine with her not cutting her hair. I enjoyed watching her, she was very responsive to all the stylists but what I think would have been better for Nick to do is to offer a better suggestion to get women to cut their hair instead of just "We'll be able to style it." He should let them know that not only will the change look good, the show will donate it to Locks of Love. That's how I was convinced to cut my hair and my hair was almost as long as hers was. I felt so good about myself and I love the way my hair is now. I know there's a 11 inch requirement so not everyone can do it but it's a good reason for people with hair length like Lynn's. I can't understand how everyone seems so bitter about this ONE episode. Look at the upside. What could have ben done on the show's part as well as her's? Think happy thoughts people! No one really noticed that she was totally receptive to everything else that was introduced to her (clothes, color, make-up), she was even wearing jewelry by the end of the show. Am I the only one who noticed???
. Maybe she secretly worships Crystal Gayle. Personally, I think she was stubborn and prideful and refused to cut her hair because she wanted to prove how "strong" she was. What a lame episode.

I was overall disapointed about this episode. I had been hoping that there would be a show about a tall woman as I am over 6'3"...most of the fashion trends do not come in extra-tall sizes.
Several years ago, I was in a similar place as Lynn...completely out of date with fashion and unsure as to what to do.
I can see where Lynn is coming from,, not wanting to cut her hair...I used to have hair way down to my waist. Eventually, I came to a point where I wanted a change. I came to that decision when I did not need the hair to feel safe or concealed anymore.
Makeovers are all about change and getting out of a rut or comfort zone. No haircut or clothing is going to change who you are at the core level. I think that if Lynn would have given Nick a chance, she would have really liked it. For goodness sake, if Nick had only cut off 6 or 7 inches and she would have hardly noticed.
You would think that she would have been ready for that change since she nominated herself!!! Her arrogance in Nick's chair was only a tip of the iceberg...she fought the makeover every step of the way. Why did Lynn waste their time and money?
OK, here's my two cents. I was disappointed in the entire show. Lynn obviously knew how the show works because she nominated herself. She knew she would have to turn herself over to the experts for a complete makeover. Did she lie during the nomination/screening process? Who knows. If she has religious reasons for not cutting the hair, then she should not have been wearing pants and jewelry, either. The religion that I know of that doesn't allow cutting hair also does not allow jewelry, makeup and pants (even when playing sports). Is she picking and choosing which beliefs to follow? I can't be the judge of that. All the the stylists were very accommodating to her and she didn't act at all appreciative. The only good part of the show was when Carmindy announced that she was going to do a full on makeup on the girl just to see what she would say! To which, Lynn just made another rude comment that she would never wear makeup again. Even my husband was yelling at the TV that she should give the clothes back if she wasn't open to any change. He thinks she just wanted to get some free clothes. We were all duped!
