Outfit choices can be a hit or a miss, but Grammy hair is one thing guaranteed to be a sight to behold! While you may not have been feeling Monica's or Rihanna's choices in outfit, their tresses were sleek and sexy as always. Who to thank? Celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen, who always keeps their manes managed in tip-top shape. Here are a few tips from Ursula on how to get Rihanna's bob or Monica's crop.

"When Rihanna and I collaborate, we are always searching to recreate her image through her hair," says Ursula. "Since we've recently done a lot of texture and length, we wanted to mix it up; I wanted to try something a little newer on her than the sleek bob you're used to seeing. A sexified, tousled, bouncy bob [looks] amazing. It's the opposite of the larger curls and length we've done recently, and as far as bobs go, it's a heavier look -- not a lot of layers, just big, bouncy and sexy!"
GET RIHANNA'S LOOK:
1. Apply a light-hold spritz and use a big curling iron to bevel (using a curling iron like a flat iron) the hair; instead of clamping the iron down in sections (which will cause unsightly bumps), run it through the hair, smoothing it down then curling the ends. Beveling hair adds body and curl that isn't too big or too tight.
2. Pin the big, round curls up and allow hair to cool, adding more body. Let them loose, add a little more spritz, and finger-style curls so that they frame the face. Use a shine spray to lock in the look and add glossy brilliance!

"Monica was wearing an origami-inspired dress, so I wanted the hair to have some contrast and shape," says Ursula. "Her hairstyle is one that can be reworked on a daily basis and is easy to have fun with."
GET MONICA'S LOOK:
1. Pre-moisturize the hair with lotion (it makes wrapping and molding easier), then comb out and apply a light-hold spritz.
2. Separate the hair into small sections and curl with a small-barrel curling iron. Curling each section in different directions will create drama and life! "Right away, the hair stands up on edge," says Ursula.
3. Mix a dime-size dollop of pomade with serum and run through hair, molding it to your desired shape. For added lift and a dramatic effect, tease the roots at the crown of your head with a comb. Set your style with a shine-enhancing spray.

Black women have NO idenitity so she copys white women's straight hair style look and looks fake and funny, Women of color look better with some curl. Remember after the hotcomb water is not your friend. And a black woman under white look wigs and weaves look like BOZO the clown and white people laughing at you not with you, They know black women hates her own hair and is jealous of white hair. Jet straight hair don't fit your texture fools

Nobody is trying to be white.No we do not hate our hair we love it. We enjoy being very versatile with our hair. We can do things with our hair that most white women wish they could do so don't hate. We look very good with the different styles and textures we do with our hair or with weave. African american hair stylist are very talented and the things they do to hair are works of art.

@ Ms B We don't care what white people do or don't do to their hair...Stop comparing yourself to white women you can never be white, So give the hotcomb some rest and that plastic fake phony white look style wig and weaves, Be a queen not a fake white whatever. White look is not art white people look that way everyday But to you its art when black women stoop low enough to copy what white people wear everyday. What message you teaching your daughters? What? they not "pretty" till they copy what white people wear everyday and you call it art ??? your a hate yourself fool. Stay fake and scared or water. We love our women of color as close to natural (chemicals is ok to losen the curl some for that put your hands in my hair look) White people laughing at you not with you... Like on Jerry Springer white look wig fools
