We love the lively and exuberant vibe Corinne Bailey Rae, Kelly Rowland, and Diana Ross brought to the Grammy Awards red carpet with their naturally curly hairstyles! Rae swept hers over to one side, Rowland gathered hers into a huge ponytail on the back of her head, and Ross let hers hang full and loose. So, do you ever wear your hair curly?

Grammys 2012 Hair Trend: Sleek Ponytails

Jessie J, Fergie, Melanie Fiona and Tia Carrere all pulled their hair up tight into high, glossy ponytails at the 2012 Grammys. The look is at once simple and dramatic—and it’s a fun way to show-off extra long extensions. Wrapping a section of hair around the base of the ponytail and securing it with a bobby pin conceals the elastic and dresses the look up for the red carpet. Fergie, who won for her “All of the Lights” collaboration, used this very trick.

Jennifer Lawrence’s New Red Hair a “Happy Accident”

The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is now a redhead! “Her new color is actually a happy accident,” hairstylist Mark Townsend told InStyle.com exclusively. “It’s been colored and re-colored so many times I told her to give it a break and use stripping shampoos.” Lawrence—who went from blond to brunet to, now, red—last had her hair colored by Joico colorist Cherry Petenbrink for her upcoming role as Katniss Everdeen. “Jennifer had such gorgeous natural blond hair when she arrived at my studio, I had to fill it to build color. Our end result was a deep, level five brunet,” Petenbrink told us. “Jennifer was nervous, but she loved it. She told us ‘I can live with this for three movies.’” The colorist also adds that a product like Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo and Restorative Oil (available at salons) can help preserve rich color the longest.

Lauren Conrad Used Pink Chalk to Dye Her Hair

Jan 24, 2012 @ 1:30 pm

This weekend, Lauren Conrad Tweeted a picture of her new pink strands—and we got the inside scoop on how she created it! “We used chalk!” her colorist Kristin Ess told us exclusively. “It’s a super-fun way to temporarily color your ends because it washes right out. But it’s best when worn in a bun because it will get on your clothes.” Ess also told us that she and Conrad will be posting a full how-to on their site thebeautydepartment.com tomorrow. And this isn’t the first time Conrad tried color: she previously worked peach tips and blue highlights. (The latter look has been tried on over 100,000 times in our virtual Hollywood Makeover Tool since she got them in September!) Tell us: Do you like her new hue?
