Default Tootie's season 4 Hairstyle was definitely the WORST of the series

What was the name of that style? She didnt have to do that

I agree. The "bowl" or the "mushroom / 'shroom". I thought her hairstyle before this one was the best she had, which, to me, makes this one seem even worse since it came right after the best one.

Tootie got both Molly's hairstyle and wardrobe, but didn't get Molly's photography skills.

Well to be fair it probably wasn't Kim, it was probably JoAnne Stafford-Chaney, the hairstylist for the show who put that hairstyle on her.

I agree: it was crap how they tried to clone TOOTIE into MOLLY when they both had entirely different personalities!!!!

MOLLY was the photographer and environmentalist.
TOOTIE was the actress and she was good at it (it was absurd to turn her into a photographer when she was lousy at it)!!!!

It was like trying to turn Jo into a jock after Cindy became a part timer. I never saw neither Jo nor Nancy M. do back flips.

Don’t criticize Tootie’s mushroom hairdo. It was iconic! The show was never as good after she got rid of it. The reunion movie would have been better if the mushroom hairdo made a comeback.

What are you talking about: the 'Edna's Edibles' were just as great as the 'Eastland years' and TOOTIE had already gotten rid of her mushroom hairdo!!!!!!
