Katy Perry
Before taking the stage for her moving performance, Katy Perry walked the Grammys' red carpet sporting a wavy, undone bob in the singer's signature - a bright, bold hue. The lavender shade and beachy waves made for a stunning, natural-but-not look.

Get the Look:
1. According to Pureology Artistic Ambassador Ruth Roche, to achieve Katy’s natural wavy and undone bobbed hair, begin by misting Pureology Colour Fanatic throughout damp hair.
 
2. For volume and fullness, apply Silk Bodifier volumizing mousse from roots to end by scrunching into the hair.

3. Diffuse to help keep hair’s texture in intact, continuing to scrunch as you go.

4. Finish by applying Density Definer medium hold crème wax through the strands with fingers.

5. Mist with a few short bursts of Strengthening Control zero dulling hairspray for added shine and hold.

Anna Kendrick

Grammy Awards presenter Anna Kendrick showcased effortless, sexy, Parisian-inspired curls, created by celebrity stylist Craig Gangi (Exclusive Artists Management).

Get the Look:
1. Beginning with damp hair, Craig applied UNITE U Luxury Argon Oil and UNITE boost spray to damp hair, then blow-dried using the T3 Evolution LongLife Dryer and the T3 Free Flow Vent Brush in order to avoid losing any volume. Says Gangi, "I didn't want to loose Anna’s natural volume so I blow-dried her hair with a vent brush not a round brush."

2. Once dry, he then curled the entire head in 1 1⁄2-inch sections with the T3 SinglePass Twirl 1.25” Curling Iron. Says Gangi, "After curling each 1 1/2-inch section… I then combed each section out with my fingers to create that loose, effortless wave. If the curl is not loosened it could look unnatural and you could end up with that 'prom' curl."

3. Once completed, Craig softly brushed out the curls even more with a wide tooth comb, then sprayed UNITE Texturiza dry finishing spray to add more texture and volume. Says Gangi, "I wanted to show off Anna’s stunning earring so I swept [her] hair off to one side so it could not be hidden."

4. To finish, he swept the hair back behind the ear and lightly sprayed with hairspray to prevent any fly-aways and hold the style in place.

Gwyneth Paltrow


For Gwyneth Paltrow's Grammy Awards look, celebrity hairstylist David Babaii was inspired by “a modern day Brigitte Bardot. We aimed to keep Gwyneth’s look chic, with a hint of naughtiness.”

Get the Look:
1. Says Babaii, “Spray ghd Style Heat Protect Spray onto damp hair and comb through.

2. "Blow-dry hair using the ghd air hairdryer and a round brush to smooth out strands.

3. "Create a side part and divide hair into 3 sections: two in the front and one in the back. Starting with the section in the back, take 1-inch pieces and wrap hair around the ghd curve classic wave wand. The oval shaped barrel creates perfect, large and loose waves. Hold each piece around the barrel for 10 seconds, then release the curl and stretch it out for 2-3 seconds until it cools. Continue all the way to the top alternating the size and direction of each curl.

4. "To finish, run fingers through the hair to loosen the waves and lightly mist hair with a light hold hairspray."

Iggy Azalea


Celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen gave 2015 Grammy nominee Iggy Azalea big, beautiful braids for her Grammy Awards look. Said Stephen, "I've always been a fan of braids and they are such a trend right now. Iggy wears braids so well and she likes to wear her hair up and away from her face - especially while performing. So, I wanted to give her something fun and easy. When I saw her dress for the Grammy's, I thought it was beautiful. The silhouette was classic and I felt going with a classic up do would have been very predictable. I wanted to give her a young vibe with a sprinkle of edge, for a memorable moment."

Get the Look:
​1. Part the hair in two even sections.

2. Cornrow both sides of the hair, starting from the nape of the head. On you fingertips use a pomade, like Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade for a sleek finish.

Brandy Clark


Country singer and Grammy Nominee Brandy Clark looked gorgeous at the recent 2015 Grammy Awards, sporting two chic looks, created by celebrity stylist Charles Dujic. For her red carpet look, Clark wore "a modern take on a 1920’s-inspired vibe: a wavy up-do with a low side knot." Later, she took the Grammys stage wearing a more "rock and roll" look - loose, effortless waves.

Get the Look: Low Side Knot
1. Start with clean, towel-dried hair and work a bit of Big Sexy Hair Root Pump plus at the roots of the hair and massage in to distribute evenly.
 
2. Next, on the remaining hair (the lengths and the ends), work a little Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Cream Oil and comb through.
 
3. Dry the hair, encouraging lift at the root by using a vent brush, and then ruffle the remaining lengths and ends dry in preparation for the next step - the iron work.
 
4. After the hair is dry, section through the hair and prep for the hot iron by spraying in Style Sexy Hair 450º Headset. This will protect from the heat and also lock in the iron set.
 
5. Using a ¾-inch curling iron, curl entire head starting from a definitive side part and wave hair in alternating directions, except for the bang area - that is set in the same direction to create that "S"-waved effect around the face.
 
6. After iron curling is done, take a wide tooth comb and separate the curl. Then rub a small amount of Style Sexy Hair Slept In through the hair to give it a little extra texture.
 
7. Artfully pin the hair in place and tie a loose knot on the right side of the nape so it’s visible from the front as well.

Get the Look: Effortless Waves


1. Says Dujic, "We transitioned this look from her red carpet look, so it took only a few minor adjustments to make it happen. Therefore, the beginning steps are the same.
 
2. "For the transition, I unpinned the hair and went over the top layer of her hair and around the face with a larger, 1-inch curling iron. I did this to relax the look some on the surface.
 
3. "After iron curling is done, take a wide tooth comb and separate the curl. Then rub a small amount of Style Sexy Hair Slept In through the hair to give it a little extra texture."

1. Dueñas prepped Axel's curls with BC Time Restore Rejuvenating Spray. "Typically I'd use a normal conditioner for hydration but I opted for this leave-in because it has a strong yet weightless nourishing effect," said Dueñas. "His famous fro needed to have its moment too."  

2. Dueñas continued, "OSiS+ Elastic held the shape of the style but still let the curls have movement."

3. To finish the look, Dueñas applied BLONDME Shine Enhancing Spray Conditioner for lightweight and award-worthy shine.
