Hairstylist Faces Backlash After Some Call Live TV Makeover The Worst Ever 

"I've seen the wind make a better style." 😂😂😂😂

The first error is thinking you can style black womans hair in one minute. That’s the FIRST mistake unless it’s a bun .. but even if it’s a bun you have make sure it looks neat

honestly she didn't even need a makeover her hair was already styled beautifully.

If you can't do ethnic hair, you're not a hair stylist. This was horrible

1:15 The beginning of the school year vs. when your 4 months into the school year and failing but you gotta stay positive

"I have seen the wind create a better style" Oh my lord!! lmfao!

Every Natural gurl and her momma know thats a perm rod set, not a "Naturally Curly Hairstyle"

A stylist that can't do hair. That's scary.

Even the journalist white lady gave the model a tap on the shoulder while hushing the so called stylist away😂 What a mess

I died "I've seen the wind make a better hair style "😂😂😂

I blame NBC producers for not seeing Deepica rehearse it first.

I don't know if any of you know this.... but that stylist has actually done a buzzfeed makeover before lmao. looked about as crappy as this does i'm not even kidding

that's messed up! by the time Deepica got done with it her hair looked like chickens had been scratchin in it!

what the hell did she did to her hair

Natural hair is beautiful, but I asked myself, why black women with natural hair in the TV ads hair look untidy, I mean actually messy. The media is not displaying black women at our best attractive self, why.

That was not a makeover. That was an assault.

The after was definitely a damn mess, she should've just left her hair alone.

This showed up on my suggestions 7 years later. I hope Ms Deepica Mutyala has now learned to style Black hair.

All the had to do was give her a hair band and make it a pineapple up do… this was a violation for her hair.

When they try to include diversity but don’t know how to do the diverse hair

I wake up and I get a much better hair style

LOL. Her hair was so much better before!

I STRONGLY AGREE. DO NOT FIX WHAT IS NOT BROKEN. BE CONTENT.

She should have at least created a side part with a twist pinned to the side, that would have looked decent on the girls length.

I saw it live and I was horrified.

I would've been mad.

At least it's not as bad as some of the Buzzfeed makeovers.

Um she' was a beauty influencer at the time not a stylist at all and had NO business in this woman's hair lol

I came straight to the comments 😂😂😂

I've seen beds perform better hairstyles. She really messed up trying to fix her original hairstyle.

😂😂😂 I laugh every time I see this that poor model didn’t know whether to smile or laugh at this foolishness… she kept it cute either way

It's even worse when a Black stylist won't do your hair. They're all over Instagram talking about how they REFUSE to touch us. Damn shame. Hurtful.

She should’ve just said she’s not familiar with working with that hair type and called it a day.

Well, I just don't think the stylist has had any experience working with hair from a black person. Unfortunately, I think this was a lose, lose situation for her. If she would have said something to the effect of: I don't feel comfortable working on the her hair because I don't have experience. And that would have made it's way out to the public she would have been crucified. But she tried on live television and screwed up and she was crucified. I think that even if she would have practiced before the show went on and not been able to do anything with is and passed. But somehow that information got out. Yes, she would have been crucified. Our hair requires previous experience to be successfully styled. Even for mixed women (I should know, I have a mixed 2 year old daughter). I don't believe that she messed up her hair on purpose. I think she saw what looked like a thin texture from the excellent job that was done on the hair before and got in over her head. If she would have had more than a minute or two to work with the hair I think it would have come out looking a lot better, not that the original hairstyle needed to be changed to begin with. (In other words, the stylist should have walked up to the black woman and said: "tada!" No need to change this!)

She should have gotten a curly cream and pulled her curls out one by one and finger curled them OR she just should have done a top knot with the curly cream and defined the curls on her hairline.

The model is still so beautiful and that smile throughout? Dazzling!

They should have had a stylist experienced in working with black hair. That poor model,having to smile through it all. This is why black actresses often have to do their own hair and makeup because of mistakes like this.

All she had to do was brush it into a ponytail or put a headband on it. She really messed her up

that natural hairstyle who was a summers style within itself already...... there was no need for that model to even be on stage....that was just a quick discrimination towards natural hair stylings

She looks better before 👸👈

The hair stylist needs her license removed

Never thought my comment about the Wind would've been funny to anyone. 😅

THIS is not incompetence. THIS is passive aggressive. Even the way she approached her with the tap on her shoulders, screamed covert aggression. Some people/women really can NOT handle an attractive darker skin woman. I don’t know why, but I’ve witnessed this on more than one occasion. The last I can remember was the influencer ‘Mahogany Curls’ (or something like that) on a show similar to this years ago. They did her the same way. Smh.

How about doing an interview with the model to speak on how she felt!!! That fraudulent hairstylist is a 🫏hole playing in that lady hair like that. Adding all that unnecessary tension. That can cause breakage and knots. She lack education fr in being an hairstylist, very unprofessional.

Even the host lady is confused with what she's doing

I'm not sure but it looks like the stylist doesn't know about styling curly hair lol I've dealt with plenty of those.

Not everyone knows how to do black hair...

No comb No brush Just fingers and gaslighting At least she felt bad about it and apologized

IM CRYING

I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't even know what to do to her hair and I have natural black hair also. Her hair is already done and looks nice. The only way to improve it is to add a bow or something

That was a mess. It is a sad fact that a majority of white hair stylists don't know how to do and/or take care of natural hair. I think all stylists should know how to do all kinds of hair.

Umm the hairstyle is horrible my brothers hair is better and I’m sorry but who did that can’t make hairstyles- Ik sorry if I being rude but I’m just saying the truth

She has no talent nor skill 😂

Don't fix what isn't broken? How about hiring people who understand natural hair.

She looks so much better before! Awful!!

ppl make mistakes... the hair stylist is a woman of color herself. it was funny but she shouldn't be feeling crappy over it.

She would have gotten away with it if she had simply pulled the womans curls apart making a more thicker curly fro but enough to leave those defined curls in the front…

Why didnt she practice beforehand.. Hairstylists know hair textures and how they act 💀

She could have pulled that hair up in a ponytail and made it look better then that. She just did not know what to do with her beautiful hair.

A lot of Hairdressers think they can work with curly hair and can't.

This is not the first they had a segment like that. There was a stylist they had on a few years back who thought it was cute to wrap string around a Black model’s head and then tried to convince the host it was the most beautiful thing

😂😂😂😂 well damn! Should've honest about the textures she can and can't work with ..

You should be sad and never touch anyones hair ever again. Then she pulling her hair thru an elastic band causing breakage..she need to take several seats

Ive had better bed head. My head looks better after taking down my braids after a month.

As someone with curly hair I cringed so hard when she started running her hair through her bangs 😫 I was like noooooooooo

I hope she’s laughing all the way to the bank because this was an injustice.

That really sucks that the model was put into that position to begin with

0:17 It's pronounced Meli-ah.

LMAOOO THEY JUST LEFT HER LOOKIN LIKE THAT I- 😭😭😭

Omg saw this stylist on the today show again doing makeup! The makeup was horrible. Just really shiny eyeshadow lol... they must pay her really cheap

To be honest she didn't create any "style" on any of the models🤦🏽‍♀️ it was all bad!!

And she handled her hair too rough🙄☹️🙁😟😖😳

Tore my good sis up smh

I don’t think the stylist mean’t any harm. I think she was caught off guard by the texture of her and she lacked the experience to know how to handle it. Since they were on live TV, she tried to just go with the flow, but it would’ve been better if she would’ve acknowledged that though the hair is beautiful, it has to be handled differently, and since she isn’t train to do natural hair, she will leave it looking beautiful the way it is. The model handled it well.

lmao. even the people behind this video sound like she is holding on to her laughter.

She screwed Mallia so badly

I just don't understand ..sooo no Black hairstylist was available ?? 🤷🏾‍♀️

It looks like when you let a toddler play hairdresser in your hair

She was so rough with her hair

That poor model 😂

I partly blame the producers on this. Did they really think any hairstylist could do a really put together and nice looking hair style in under a minute for three women???

report real news plz

you should now post deepica's follow up segment to amend the situation. shows grace and maturity

Omg 😂😂😂 do better!

LMAO

She just should have said that her hair was already fire and just went to the next model. Idk how she could have improved on that models hair. It was already perfect. But damn did she ruin it.

I'm not hating on it. Styling black hair is a skill, and she promised she would try better. I hope that she can one day look back and be able to laugh If people on the Internet think that they can rip you just because you dont know something, please ask yourself first if you know everything about your job field before you go ripping someone!

Awkward ponytail 😂 gorgeous to ridiculous they goin in on her lol

Lmfaooo

The woman was absolutely stunning in her before look, why would you volunteer, goofball

Oh no no noooo!!! What did she do to that womans hair? I mean, she got eyes, dont she? Whatever product they were trying to sell...RIP.

I agree it' was a mess BUT what do you expect? you realize she was on a show? She couldnt just skip over that model.

The hairstylist ain't know nothing about black hair ....thats her problem

She should have practised a style on the models' beautiful hair before the show. She looked fab before the makeunder 😆

She was deliberately VIOLENT on the models head!

It literally was the worst thing I have ever seen! The fact that she pulled apart her curls! This just shows that you can call yourself anything now a days and some how end up on a TV show as an expert

For hair like that you need those big bands to pull it up that would have made a nice updo instead of using a small rubber band

Let me know who this stylist is so I can stay away from her 😮😮😮😮😮

As a Black woman I was horrified for this sis. But also I thought it was funny😂

Black hair isn't her hair & she should've never touched it.
