I loved Goodies, Promise was my JAM, but I can't say that I always keep abreast of everything Ciara is up to.
I think she's adorable and I do admire her dancing skills, though. Stylistically at times, it's seemed that Ciara is still trying to figure things out. Not that there's anything wrong with that, she's a beautiful young lady. But goodness knows it can't be easy being in the public eye. Especially when you've got battling hairdressers smacking you down in the blogosphere.
In this corner, hairdresser #1 - Emmy award winning Warren-Tricomi Los Angeles salon stylist Kiyah Wright. In an interview with Bellasugar, she revealed that Cici still has her long hair, but she's rocking a short wig for the summer.
"Ciara has such a little, petite, cute face, and she told me that she wanted to go short. She wanted to do the Halle Berry, but I thought "We need a little sexy, we need a little swagger in front, so let's just give it a little bit of lift." But I didn't want it to look like Rihanna's cut, either, so I cut all of it with thinning sheers and kept it tight on the sides, then added a swoop bang and gave her a reddish-auburn highlight in the front, just to break up the black a little bit."
Cute idea!
But in the OTHER corner we've got hairdresser #2 -- celebrated stylist Shirlena Allen, who had some complaints. From Necole Bitchie:
"Sorry to say Ciara's pic in short hair Kiyah did not do , I did the photo shoot with Derek Blanks. Now the one with her and Kiyah ,is Kiyah's work. Two different styles , the wig used and work on the photo shoot she doesn't even want to pay me for for , let alone I ask for the wig back a year ago, she says she cant find it. There is a huge difference in work, mine's is a little more sexy. She has no identity. Still trying to find a look.
The pics of Ciara on the post for her twitter is my work, the beautiful makeup head shot was done a year ago in Atlanta, that other crap is Kiyah, wack . Please make a correction. We spent hours trying to find this child a look and she still bites and don't listen to a list. She's a year behind all of it. Crazy! She would have been rocking it all before all if she listen, now she looks like a knock off."
Wowza.
Bossip features compare and contrast photos of both styles.
My thoughts?
It's gotta be really hard to be a young female celebrity these days. There's always a pressure on you to update your look, to shine in the spotlight, to be cutting edge and hot and the one to follow. Also... I hate to say this but it's pretty unprofessional for stylist #2 to go running to the gossip blogs. It's not a good look. If I were a celebrity looking to get my hair done, that'd make me think twice. No shade, just sayin'.
But enough about what I think.
What do you think about this drama, and what do you think about Ciara's summer style?

First of all, I wanna say that I never liked Ciara. I am not a fan of hers. I have to agree with the second stylist...it seems that Ciara has not found her identity and always seem to come so strikingly close to looking like a Beyonce wannabe or Ashanti. As far as the cut is concerned, Hated it! Rihanna can pull of the fierce short do's...Beautiful woman Ciara is but she looks like a hot mess.

I THINK THE SHORT CUT IS NICE. CIARA IS AN ATTRACTIVE YOUNG LADY, HOWEVER AT TIMES YOU WONDER "WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE THINKING"? SHE REALLY DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY OR FAME AS RHIANNA OR BEYONCE, BUT WITH A GOOD TEAM SHE WILL MAKE IT TO THE TOP.

Hmmm seems like someone is a bit bitter that they got fired. Stylist #2 has been fired by both Brandy and Ciara so she must be doing something wrong and running to gossip blogs about a wig that nobody cares about will most likely make no other celeb want to hire her.

LMAO, Ciara is awesome, but I'm sorry, she straight up looks like Wanda Sykes in this pic!!! No disrespect to Wanda, but I don't think that was the look she's trying to go for...is it? hahaha, j/k. Do your thang Ciara, whatever floats your boat...obviously she can afford to look any way she likes whether we agree or disagree!

I never heard a lot of Ciara's song, but I adored "1,2, step" when it first came out. I still get it stuck in my head However, like her music or not, here was a girl who you never saw in the tabloids. And I agree with the writer of this article, it must be hard to be in the spotlight, when the paparazzi are waiting for you to do something wrong. In my honest opinion, hairstyle s really unique, but in a good way! Soo...what's the big deal? :P
