Grammy Beauty Trend Report: 3 Looks We Loved

We've been anxiously awaiting the Grammy red carpet for weeks. We love awards shows but the Grammys always tends to bump up the creativity when it comes to the hair and makeup. This year was no different from dye changes to Beyonce's blinging strands, these are three of our favorite trends.

Gaga for Blond
Blond was the color to be at the Grammys this year. While some shades were a little brassy, (Giuliana Rancic), we found Lady GaGa's sunny hues fabulous. Yes, the bold, bright yellow shades were a little bright but we love the look because that was exactly the point. If you are going to dye outside the box, then follow GaGa's footsteps and step out completely-don't just stick your pinky toe out. Get flawless, at-home hair color.



Beach Babe Waves


Surfer girl curls were all the rage on the red carpet in long and short forms. Marisa Miller rocked her signature breezy waves which looked great paired with her sultry smoky eyes. We always love Miller's waves, but we especially loved that Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles proved that short cuts can be beachy too.

To get a similar look, rough dry your hair by blow drying with your fingers. Then use a gritty salt spray like Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray and mist throughout. For extra waves, curl a few random pieces on each side for added definition.



Bad to the Bangs


Bangs were a gal's best friend on the red carpet. From Katy Perry's pinup-style baby bangs to Jennifer Hudson's severe blunt bangs matched with a sleek ponytail. But the fringe showstopper of the night for us goes to Keri Hilson, who paired her pixie cut with flipped, side-swooped bangs.

To get this look for any cut, make a deep part on one side to get volume and blow dry hair, pulling up and back with the dryer and brush. Then using a flat iron, flip bangs out and top off with a firm-hold hairspray.
