| Rajkanya Baruah walked in with poker-straight hair, cut edgily enough to get her that tomboy tag. But “the unhealthy rough edges had to be trimmed” on Nayanika’s demand to give her a more sober, girlie appeal. The results made us forget the girl who asked for silver and grey extensions. “Colour is restrictive on the ramp,” reminded Nayanika. |
“I don’t want my copper streak to go,” begged Priti Kongkana, who was given her original hair colour back soon after. “The streak is at the back so it does a distracting peek-a-boo as she turns at head ramp,” reasoned Nayanika. |
Riya Basu Thakur got to keep her girl-next-door razor cut that cutely cuddled her face. And “just thinking about all the pampering” her skin and hair awaited, got her greedy |
Sonika Chauhan was “dying to get funky with purple streaks” or even play with “loose spiral curls”, but with no nod of approval from Nayanika she had to hang on to her layered locks. |
“Burgundy highlights would be good” but Nayanika lent a deaf ear to Rusha Ghosh’s appeal. A hair spa and a blow-dry with some skin services had left Rusha radiant. And she doesn’t want you to miss her Virgo tattoo. |

| Ticket to Las Vegas (where she will participate in Miss Universe 2010) in hand, Ushoshi Sengupta — I Am She 2010 winner and Sananda Tilottama 2007 1st runner-up —breezed through the city a day before her birthday. She had two top tips for those vying for the 2010 Tilottama title — “whatever answer you give on stage, be confident of it” and “please carry your pink Tilottama suitcase. I’ve had it with me through my journey so far. It is very lucky.” |

| After almost a six-hour-long struggle, Indrakshi Bhattacharjee defeated her rough-and-frizzy-hair monster and emerged victorious with a silky smooth mane. The secret: rebonding. “And I can now handle my long hair on my own on a daily basis,” she smiled. |
Katrina Kaif’s cascading crown in Raajneeti and Singh is Kinng stole her heart. “But my hair is limp,” confessed Poonam Dhal. So “no straightening” warned Nayanika. And it was a point well made we think. |
“They like the wavy style of my hair, so they aren’t changing it,” said Mayuri Chatterjee. “I wish I had hair like Kangana Ranaut in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai,” she smiled. |
With hairstyle to match that of “Priyanka Chopra’s in Dostana”, Dipna Patel was as happy as happy could be. And she promised to focus next on her workout schedule. |
Arpita Sinha had never strutted in stilettos or even come near the runway. But as she traded her geeky spectacles for contact lenses and plain Jane ponytail for layered steps we discovered a head-turner. |
