There’s been lots of award ceremony hair to look out for this February. We’re in our element with all the red carpet events as it’s given us loads of great hair to talk about at HeadKandy HQ  ... here are our picks of the top styles and tips on how to re-create them with your own clip in hair extensions.

 

The 2011 Grammy Awards – February 13^th 2011

Katy Perry was wearing a gorgeous dress for the award ceremony and we just LOVED her glitzy purple and green eye make-up!!

She had gorgeous soft curls in her hair which complimented her whole look really well.

If you have dark hair like Katy, then a 16-18” or 20-22” full head in Soho would be perfect for re-creating her look yourself. Use a jumbo curling iron to achieve those big romantic curls!

Similarly, Selena Gomez wore long soft curls for the Grammies – this style is huge this year so the girls are band on trend! 20-22” extensions in Espresso would be the closest match for Selena or to re-create the subtle highlights, Iced Coffee would be fab!! Add some curls with a 24mm curling tong and gently brush them through to loosen them slightly.

We love Miley Cyrus’ BRonde look from the red carpet! Get Miley’s uber length with a 24-26” full head and add some loose curls with your flat irons. Pin back a section of the hair from each side and secure with a cute clip!

 

The 2011 BAFTA Awards – February 13^th 2011

Actress Amy Adams wore a beautiful beaded dress for the BAFTA awards and her hair carried natural curls. If you’re a red head like Amy then shades St Tropez or Spiced Auburn could work well for you!

Re-create Amy’s gorgeous curls with a 24mm curling tong and brush the curls through to soften them. Use a hairspray safe for use with hair extensions to hold the style in place!

Bonnie Wright went super straight with her gorgeous red hair for the BAFTA’s. A 16-18” full head would be best for Bonnie’s look. Apply a good quality heat protection treatment to your own hair and your hair extensions and then use your flat irons for a straight and sleek look. Take sections of hair from above the ears and pin them back to create a half-up half-down look!

 

The 2011 BRIT Awards – February 15^th 2011

Cheryl Cole looked stunning for the red carpet in a sexy backless black sequined dress with a thigh-high split. We loved her smokey cat’s eyes and her updo with a fashion ponytail ... FAB!!

To get this unique ‘do part your hair all the way around leaving a 2 inch perimeter below the parted hair line.

Pull the hair above the hairline upwards, angled backwards, and apply hairspray. Backcomb the hair for volume before adding more hairspray to form a nest.

Use your remaining natural hair and brush it back over the nest of hair you have created and secure it underneath with a bobble so you have a short ponytail left at the back of the head.

Select 2 or 3 hair extension wefts (depending on how much hair you want for your fashion pony!) and clip these onto your natural ponytail, wrapping them around 2 or 3 times.

Paloma Faith also caught our attention with her oversized fashion hair-bow and her long red locks! To create a curl at the ends of your 20-22” extensions, use heated rollers on just the ends of the extensions, but be sure not to leave them on for too long. This should give you a gorgeous kink like Paloma!

Select an oversized hair accessory to really set this style off!

 

And the winner is...

There was some gorgeous hair for the award ceremonies this month, but we think Cheryl Cole really stole the limelight with her unique up-do! She stood out from the crowd of lose curls and really made a statement with a hairstyle that was a little bit different!!
