Braided Wonder - Willow Smith won't be whipping her hair back and forth with this braided 'do. If you want to look like this fashion forward cutie, here's what you'll have to do: First box braid all of your hair upward. Then put it all up into a pony-tail. Section it off into 2 parts and braid each section separately. Finally, bend your braids however you like, hair-pin it in place and voilà—you have a funky new look in just a few minutes.(Photo by Michael Underwood/PictureGroup)

Bold Bob - The typically blonde bombshell took a walk on the dark side when she wore this blunt-cut bob to the 2011 BET Awards. We love the change so much, we might just try it. Here's what you'll have to do if you want to join us on the bob bandwagon. First, decide if you want to wear your own hair or sport a wig like Nicki. Then head to your hairstylist and make sure you let them know you want your bangs and bob to be cut blunt. Then flat-iron it bone straight and bend it at the end. If you want Nicki's fabulous shine, try Motions Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion.(Photo by Mark Davis/PictureGroup)

Big Bangs - Mary J. Blige chose the perfect look for her throwback performance at last night's BET Awards: her signature blonde pony-tail and big bold bangs. Here's how you can achieve this fuss-free style. First, you don't have to color your hair platinum blonde. Decide on a color that fits your skin tone, or don't color your hair at all. Then, part your bangs, and flat-iron straight. Finally brush your hair up into a ponytail. Don't be afraid to add a fake piece if you need it. You can use clip-on hair, wefted hair or loose hair. Then just pop that bad-boy in and you're good to go.(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Carefree Curls - Marsha Ambrosius is truly a natural beauty. The singer's care-free curls were just perfect with her vintage-inspired turquoise dress. Here's how you can re-create this perfect summer 'do. First, wash and condition your hair, and towel it dry. Then, rub a little Motions Extra Firm Foaming Wrap Lotion into you damp hair. Section your hair into one-inch parts, twirl each piece around your finger to create china-bumps and hairpin in place. Once you've put your entire head into little china bumps, dry with a blow dryer or air dry. Finally, take each china-bump out and separate your new natural curls.(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
