 The
Look - Rihanna's Red Transformation
Just before Rihanna first began sporting the red look she
had worked up to a half black and half blonde style that the red could be
applied to for max color and impact.
Red dyes to try out for a similar color are -
Or for a less permanent color try
L'Oreal's Casting Creme, in 565 Cherry
Red (Cheryl Cole used this color but had a less vivid effect due to her dark
hair base).

Seen At - The 2011 Grammy Awards
Rihanna was styled by Ursula Stephen for the event, who
used a curling iron rather the a straightening iron to straighten and smooth
Rihanna's hair before curling the ends.
Rihanna's curls were pinned up as they cooled to help them
retain their shape longer.
Once the curls cooled, the pins were removed and allowed
to fall naturally how the wanted with the hair then teased into place with the
fingers to frame the face.
The style was completed with a few spritzs of styling
spray to lock in the style and to add some extra shine.

The Look - Fishtail Braid
Best For - Non-layered hair, lots of different
lengths in the hair can make this look a bit messy.
Papped out in late 2010, casual-looking Rihanna sported a
fishtail braid.
The fishtail style is probably the most complicated braid
if you've never done one before, so don't be put off if it doesn't turn out
right the first time - here's a few tips for getting the look.
Brush your hair through then gather it all in front of one
of your shoulders - it's easier for a right-hander to put it over the left
shoulder and vice-versa.
Divide the hair into two equal parts, hold one of the
sections between the middle and index finger, and the other between the middle
and ring finger of your less dominant hand.
Use your free hand for the braid creating. Take a
small section from the outside of the first part and place it in the section
held by your other fingers.
Now, pick up the same amount from the outside of the other
section and put it into the first (sounds complicated, right? If you check
out youtube you can find a few videos of people doing it - this still is much
easier to understand demonstrated than written out). Continue alternating
the strands from each section to the other until you're happy with the length of
the braid, then secure with a band of your choice.

 The
Look - Versatile Crop
Color - Black with a honey blonde long layer
Take a pic of this cut to your hairdresser to show them
exactly what you want.
The style is short on the sides but this is no boring
crop; the long length at the top can be curled, quiffed, slicked back and
worn a variety of ways.
To style into Rihanna's sleek look (right), work a little
pomade into the roots and along to the ends.
For the curly style, seen at the 2010 Grammy Awards, use a
medium-barreled curling iron and wrap up sections (about the width of two
fingers) going right to the roots.
To ensure long hold, let the curls set once created, then
release them and finish the look with a burst of hairspray.

Talking to hollywoodlife, Rihanna's hairstylist Ursula
Stephen mentioned a few of her tips and the products she's used on her -
Talking about how she maintains Rihanna's look, she said:
"I use
Motions Silkening Relaxer System to keep it sleek, shiny, and
conditioned."
When Rihanna wears extensions, Ursula says: "We’re using
real human hair extensions, which are colored. The process to install them is
simple: they’re bonded onto her actual hair." |
