Say what you will about Lil Mama (my homegirl Fresh of Crunk and Disorderly does alllll the time) -- the chick knows how to get noticed on the red carpet. When she steps out, it isn't just her lipgloss that's poppin', it's her hair and outfit, too! That certainly was the case at the 2009 BET Awards.

My colleague Angela classified it as a hair don't, but hey -- maybe for some of you the combo of multiple shades and textures, bangs and side ponytail adds up to a do. If so, two snaps, a twist and a kiss to you.

Wanna pull this audacious look off yourself? You're in luck! Celebrity hairdresser Marcia Hamilton created Lil Mama's fresh and distinctive look, and shared her step-by-step tips with us at BV.

Without further ado, here's Marcia!

To copy Lil Mama's red carpet style:

1. Part a heavy fringe from eyebrow to eyebrow.

2. Brush all remaining hair up and to the side, above the left eyebrow.

3. Use a Goody Elastic Band to hold hair and sweep into a side ponytail. Spray hair with David Babaii for WildAid Mise En Plis Light Hold Hairspray to smooth down fly-aways.

4. For extra volume, wrap a human hair weft around the ponytail and secure with a bobby pin.

5. For smooth curls and waves in the ponytail, use H2pro's HC34 3/4² Ceramic Curling Iron. Taking 1 inch sections, mist with a thermal protection spray like White Sands Liquid Texture Medium Hold and wrap around a closed iron for perfectly polished curls.

6. For a smooth and perfect fringe, use a mini flat iron from root to ends. Spray with David Babaii for WildAid Extra Hold Styling Spray for a long lasting but movable hold. To finish, mist ponytail with a light shine spray to finish the look.

And there you have it. And might I add #7 -- wear with extreme confidence. "Whatchu know 'bout me?"
