In their third Shortcut Challenge, the remaining stylists are presented with a unique twist on extensions – applying them to men to give them sexier, longer looks. The steamy Elimination Challenge brings the stylists to a ranch that serves as the backdrop for photos for their first cover shoot, romance novels. The stylists work in teams to create sexy and dramatic looks for both a male and a female model. Extensions guru and celebrity stylist Ken Paves joins as guest judge for both challenges.
