I talked to 6 of her different hairstyles and found out what makes Tyra tick.

Sports Illustrated Hairstyle

Tyra Banks hairstyles

Tyra's hairstyles told me the following...

My epitaph would say this:

Ha ha! That's kind of a dumb question dude 'cos I'm not dead- at least not yet 'cos you never know Tyra might still try me on again... but anyhow, I guess it'd say "Long, layered and bouncy: always the perfect sexy summer hairstyle." Yeah, right on...

If I wasn't with Tyra I'd be with...

I love Tyra, and I think we worked really great together in those swimsuit shots for Sports Illustrated, and you know what I'll be honest and say no one can really match Tyra, but I guess if you've got thick hair, an oval, round, heart or diamond face shape you could probably come close.

These things turn me on:

Matthew McConaughey playing beach volleyball in tiny trunks? Ha, just kidding. What turns me on? Well, if you want to put me in a good mood, you need a bit of time, like 20 minutes, a blow-dryer and rollers. And my biggest piece of advice: when you're done blow-drying me, a little wax applied to my ends really floats my boat.

Fat Suit Hairstyle

Tyra Banks hairstyles

Tyra's hairstyles told me the following...

My epitaph would say this:

In loving memory of a hairstyle that was much much more than simply the hairdo Tyra Banks had when she got fat.

If I wasn't with Tyra I'd be with...

I have so much to offer you know. And no one really paid any attention. It was all about Tyra's weight, and that dreadful one-piece swimsuit she was wearing that day... and all that hoo-ha about catwalk models and how skinny they are... . Sure, that's all important, but what about me? My long solid lines and dark chestnut color with golden highlights are truly beautiful. Don't you think?

These things turn me on:

I'm easy to please too. A blow-dryer, a straightening iron, a bit of smoothing shine and some hairspray keeps me satisfied.

Model Mother Hairstyle

Tyra Banks hairstyles

Tyra's hairstyles told me the following...

My epitaph would say this:

Girl, I'm a no b/s, no fuss, no mess, straight talking, advice giving, tell it like it is hairstyle! I've been Tyra's inspiration on America's Next Top Model; I've been the one, with my clean lines and blunt bangs, keeping Tyra real and giving her the strength to be the mother figure that those (silly) little models need. My epitaph? "For real."

If I wasn't with Tyra I'd be with...

I'd be with anyone straight talking who likes clean, sophisticated lines. If you've got an oval, oblong or diamond face shape, thick, dense hair and you're dedicated to your hair (you need about 30 mins styling time to make me look great) try me.

These things turn me on:

They don't turn me on, but I TOTALLY respect Tyra's decision to open up America's Next Top Model to transgender contestants. Like, for real girlfriend. But what really turns me on are straightening irons and smoothing shine- for that sleek look.

Glamour Girl Next Door

Tyra Banks hairstyles

Tyra's hairstyles told me the following...

My epitaph would say this:

"In loving memory of the perfect hairstyle, the hairstyle that was beautiful, glamorous and alluring, yet not so flashy and showy that it seemed unattainable." That's the effect I'd like to think I had on Tyra Banks while I was her hairstyle on the Tyra Show.

If I wasn't with Tyra I'd be with...

Generally? I'd be out there with anyone trying to do some good in the world, you know? But I guess, practically, I'd work best with girls who've got medium thick to medium dense hair, and an oval, oblong or square face shape. And for my honey color... well, it'd be wrong for me not to say (health wise) that it's best if your hair's quite light to begin with...

These things turn me on:

Squeezing and scrunching. I really like it when I'm squeezed... with moist hands... to create my sexy tousled look. Being squeezed scrunched, lifted and then caressed by someone appreciative- these are a few of my favourite things.
