Whitehead, a former pageant competitor, cried throughout the makeover process as her long brown hair was transformed into a short blonde pixie cut.
However, her struggle with her makeover didn't end after she left the salon. In the following episode, Whitehead was told the judges wanted to cut another inch off her hair, which she refused to do.
"It wasn't just cutting an inch and a half of hair for me. It was the last straw of them completely trying to change who I was," Whitehead said during the episode.
Whitehead was told to leave the set, and it was later revealed that she had willingly quit the show, making her the first contestant in the show's history to do so.
