Leave It: Syesha Mercado
This stiff updo makes Syesha look like a politician's wife (Michelle Obama, anyone?) -- which isn't totally inappropriate for a show called "American Idol" -- but we think she looks cooler and more her age when she embraces her natural curls.

This style is totally flat -- not something to aspire to in singing or hair styling. The long, straight strands don't compliment her thin frame very well. Waves and curls give her more appeal.
