Model Kayla Ferrel came to America's Next Top Model with two things: bouncy, blonde curls and strict makeover orders from her girlfriend. "My girlfriend had two stipulations. She said, 'Don't come home with red hair, and don't come home bald.' So I may be single after this," Ferrel said in a Cycle 15 episode, as her makeover turned her from an everyday blonde to a bold redhead with bangs. 

Unlike some of her fellow contestants and former Top Model hopefuls, Ferrel was convinced that the show-stopping transformation was worth it. "This is what's gonna to take you to the next level," she said during her makeover, as her hair was dyed and her eyebrows bleached. "I don't understand why people cry. I don't understand why people get upset." 

Ferrel's transformation was one of the boldest and most daring of her cycle, and her post-makeover photo shoot stood out from the crowd. "Personally, I love my hair," she said. "I think that the boldness, the brightness meshes perfectly with who I am." Ferrel made it far in the competition, and she eventually tied for third place with contestant Jane Randall.
