The red carpet for the 2022 Grammys [2] has started, and stars are already turning heads. Laverne Cox debuted new purple hair, and eagle-eyed fans spotted Addison Rae's water-droplet french manicure [3] with ease. Amid the glam, Doja Cat [4] also caught attention for her Versace dress and early-2000s-inspired hairstyle [5].
The rapper's platinum-blond hairstyle came equipped with micro bangs and face-framing tendrils [6], plus elevated twists at the crown of her head and flipped ends — a true mainstay in the early aughts.
Her hairstylist, Jared Henderson [7], explained that many of the products he used to create the look were affordable. "I prepped the blonde wig by shampooing and conditioning with the Joico Color Balance Purple Shampoo [8] ($21) to strip it of all yellow/brassy tones," he says.
After applying the wig, Henderson blow-dried it straight using the GHD Helios Professional Hair Dryer [9] ($279) and the GHD Paddle Brush [10]($35). To style, he says he "sectioned off the hair from temple to temple and used JoiGel Firm Styling Gel [11] ($20) for the twists and Bantu knots at the top of the hair."
The rest of the hair was pulled into a half-up ponytail using JoiMist Firm Protective Finishing Spray [12] ($21) to finish the section. Lastly, he straightened the back with the GHD Unplugged Styler [13]($299) and finished off the entire hairstyle with one more spray of the JoiMist Firm Protective Finishing Spray [14] ($21) for hold and to control frizz on the carpet.
