About Face - LaLa Anthony's look at the BET Awards '11 was all about her beautiful face. If you want all attention on you, here's how you can re-create LaLa's sexy bun. First, flat-iron your hair until it's straight. Then brush your hair in an upward motion and place it into a tight pony-tail. Don't make it too tight, because you don't want to damage your hairline. Now, swoop the hair around into a simple bun, and fasten with bobby pins. It's that easy!(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
