This episode was absolutely amazing.
An amazing episode, encompassing everything that is good about a show like Glee. Songs fit well with the episode and many voices were utilized in this feel good episode. Quinn continues to deal with some baby drama while Terri considers telling Will the truth but Kendra won't let her. Meanwhile, Will challenges The Correction Facility (special guest star Eve) to a scrimmage at the McKinnley auditorium which upsets the School for the Deaf and Dumb. And Sue is up to her old tricks yet again.
"Hairography" begins by introducing the main focus of the episode, hairography. Special Guest Star Eve brings her Correction Facility students to a scrimmage at McKinnley where Rachel points out that they are using "hairography", or smoke and mirrors to win the competition. Rachel condemns this practice.
Ironically, in the next scene, Rachel is using hairography to win over over Finn until she realizes that Kurt tricked her into it because he too loves Finn.
The show incorporates many emotional, physical, and realistic aspects of high school into this episode mainly with the school for the deaf and dumb. A boy from the school begins talking the words to John Lennon's "Imagine" before Mercedes and then Artie and the Rachel and the rest of the gang join hands with the deaf students to sing the song. It was very inspiring. The only disappointing part of this song was that the boy talking the words was not included on the iTunes release.
I also thought Terri and Kendra were once again hilarious, but I have to say that I am starting to feel some emotion for Terri in that she does actually love Will and that is why she is going through all of this trouble. Quinn and Puck had some excellent scenes, including one where Quinn sings "Papa Don't Preach" while trying to babysit Kendra's kids. However, yet again it is revealed that Puck is in fact and jerk. The end was a bit annoying and made me feel like Sue Sylvester is still in fact an evil person by giving Eve and the man from the deaf school the set list for sectionals but who knows, maybe Sue still has another underlying plan. After this, Tina gets her first full solo in which she sings "True Colors" which fit perfectly with the show.
All in all, "Hairography" was a fitting title as every character used hairography and put on a show in the episode. Rachel used it to impress Finn. Kurt used it to trick Rachel. Puck used it to lie to Quinn. Terri and Kendra are definitely are using hairography to work their own agenda. With two episodes left, are things going to implode on Quinn? On Terri? On Will? On Finn? On Sue? Or what about Emma who seems to be getting less and less screen time? I'm sure Mercedes won't be keeping the baby daddy secret for too much longer. After all, she'll have to tell her best friend Kurt. And we all know what a gossip queen he is.moreless

Notes
ADD NOTES- International Episode Titles: Czech Republic: Vlasografie (Hairography) Edit
- In this episode, Dalton Rhumba (played by Michael Hitchcock) from the school for the deaf mentions that he himself is deaf in one ear due to Scarlet Fever. In reality, Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) is deaf in her right ear (which she has said was probably due to having a high fever as a baby). Edit
- Jane Lynch ("Sue") and Michael Hitchcock ("Mr. Rumba") also worked together in the 2000 movie Best In Show, the 2003 movie A Mighty Wind, the 2006 movie For Your Consideration, and, the Lovespring International episode "The Fire". Plus, they worked with Jayma Mays ("Emma") in the 2007 movie Smiley Face. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Will: Some of you, particularly the guys, have come up to me with some questions about Hairography. One of our own has volunteered to walk us through it. She has got it down. Brittany, take it away. Brittany: Take what away? Edit
- Emma: If you can't take Mohammad to the mountain, then you gotta get Mohammad to bring the mountain down. To his house. Mohammad's house, wherever he's staying. (Clears throat.) Will: I don't understand. Edit
- Kurt: (to Rachel on why he is giving her a makeover) You need something to distract from your horrible personality. Most of the time I find it hard to be in the same room with you. Especially this one, which looks like where Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobbie come to hook up. Edit
