American Idol is back in full swing and I’m already addicted to it – again – thanks to the talent, the music and Dean Banowetz, American Idol hairstylist extraordinaire. Who could ever forget Sanjaya’s faux-hawk? I’ve already spotted some hairstyle shifting among the new crop of idol wannabes so I’m sure this season we are all in for the same hair shenanigans. Take these two simple ponytail styles in the video clip below, Dean proves that some of the easiest styles have the biggest impact.
