Introduction
Yes, I am entertained and I even pay attention to who wins what awards, who are no-shows or who makes faces at the cameras. However, hair is the primary focus for my award watching fests. (ABC/IMAGEDIRECT/KEVIN WINTER)
In light of the current romantic hair trends, the number of beautifully curled and softly waved celebrities were not surprising. What was amazing was the number of celebrities with much longer tresses. In some cases like comedian Kathy Griffen, longer meant to the top of her thighs.
Whether they were real or extensions, there was an abundance of long luscious locks in abundant appearance at the show. This longer hair trend signals the beginning of a consumer hair trend for longer, more romantic locks.
Speaking of Shania, the superstar has recently emerged from an extended period of isolation during the birth of her child and the time she spent hanging out working on her latest CD in her newly adopted French homestead.
If you look at the style that Shania wore for her performance during the show (shown above & to the side), you will note that the wild section of hair around the top of her ponytail is much smoother and flatter.

Showing off different looks from tight blonde curls (to the side) to soft ringlets with shoe polish black undertones (shown above and below) Christina looked Hollywood glamorous and fit her assigned image of blonde pop tart. (Images compliments of ABC/RON KOCH - all rights reserved).
Even the black feathered top she wore as a presenter looked chic and worked with her tight blonde ringlets. The black two tone soft hair actually enhanced her look and showcased her gorgeous blue eyes. Combining both a curly look with longer strands Christina embraced more romantic tresses with her own blend of trendiness. You go girl. Everything about Ms. Aquilera worked.

When I initially spotted Mya making her grand arrival I was impressed with how elegant her big Drew Barrymoresque flower looked adorning her cascading, multicolored tightly woven ringlets.
She also ditched the large red blossom in favor of a smaller more elegant black floral version worn over the opposite ear. Talk about a dramatic makeover. I won't rest until I find out who is responsible for this incredible strand transformation. Regardless of the shock value or her major strand change, Mya sparkled in both styles. Gorgeous girl, gorgeous style. SummarySome obvious hair trends emerged during the AMA awards. Many of the celebrities wore much longer locks that were often curled and waved. Except for Kelly Osborne, gone were the shocking colors of the past. The enigma of gorgeous celebrities flaunting horrifying hairstyles was thankfully missing from this year's broadcast. Elegant styles on beautiful stars were plentiful as were flowers carefully adorning both curls and sleek styles. |
