Red Carpet Hair Trend: Swept-Up Strands
The coolest trend to rise from the 2012 Grammy red carpet? Electro-retro hair! Celebrities including Taraji P. Henson, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, and even Bruno Mars slicked back the sides of their strands and teased the tops to mimic masculine rock 'n' roll coifs from the '50s—with a modern twist! How did these starlets bring the sky-high vintage hairstyle to the twenty-first century? Taraji let some face-framing bangs fall loose in front, Katy gave her sleek, gravity-defying faux hawk a rainbow-bright makeover, and Alicia sported a soft bouffant to balance the angular silhouette of her futuristic fashion choices.
Beauties, what do you think about these shiny side-swept red carpet 'dos? Would you ever wear a similar style? Let's hear your voice below!

Definitely not my thing, but they look cool on them. I'm into more girly, long wavy romantic type of hairstyles. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to hair styles.

I love extremely pouffy pompadours and quiffs! Unfortunately, my hair isn't long enough yet. :(

So do I! It's so funny, whenever I see any guy rocking them I get insanely jealous and want to do it to my hair all over again haha.

I wasn't a huge fan of Katy's grown-out haircolor, but I loved her updo.
Kristen A.
I agree. She/her stylist couldn't touch-up her roots?
Caysie G.
agreed... i feel like if youre going to commit to all over unnatural colors, you have to commit to the upkeep. she did the same thing when she had the pink hair. girl needs to get in the salon more. haha.
