Black Hair at the 2012 Grammy Awards
Alicia Keys - 2012 Grammy Awards
Award show season is always full of new looks, from fashion and accessories to hair. As we've come to expect from a big night like the Grammy Awards telecast, there's classy, sassy and sometimes downright weird when it comes to 'dos.
Alicia Keys plays it safe with an updo that's elegant and sophisticated.

Corinne's Curls
Corinne Bailey Rae plays up her curls nicely, by sweeping most of them off to one side, while letting a few tendrils escape on the opposite side of her face.
Ledisi - All About Vibrance
Locs are more versatile than you may think, as Ledisi demonstrates with this colorful 'do. They lend themselves well to an updo style that involves plenty of curls.
Amber Rose
At a pre-Grammy celebration, Amber Rose showcases her minimalist style, which is perfect for such an eye-catching color -- of hair, or the lipstick, or both!
Melanie Fiona Plays It Long
Melanie Fiona goes for a long, loosely waved look at a pre-Grammy event, but for the big night, she's not afraid to switch it up...
Smooth and Sleek
At the award show, Melanie Fiona has a different look, but one that's just as elegant. Keeping your style simple like this is a great way to bring attention to fabulous accessories.
Rihanna - Side View
She's back to being blonde! It's hard to tell whether Rihanna was heading to the Grammys or the beach, with this slightly tousled, carefree style she has going on here.
A Legendary Look
Darker roots flow into lighter lengths that fall down Rihanna's back. It's an easy, non-fussy style perfect for the woman who likes her hair a little "undone."

Nicki Minaj's Dramatic Entrance
Legend Gladys Knight came to the Grammy Awards sporting a chic, short look that's full of volume and just a bit of height.
Garcelle's Wavy Locks
She knows how to make an entrance, that's for sure! Nicki Minaj showed up bewigged as usual, with a little extra drama to boot in the form of a huge, flowing red ensemble that no one could miss.
India.Arie Under Wraps
Garcells Beauvais goes for a soft, face-framing style that's full, flowing and easy to do.
MC Lyte's Short Take
When choosing to wrap your hair as part of your outfit, make it as sophisticated as India.Arie does here. Wearing all white and keeping things simple, she steps out looking incredibly elegant.
Serena's Soft Waves
A style this short hides nothing, so follow MC Lyte's lead and opt for attention-getting color and piecey details that show it off.
Taraji's Updo
Tennis ace and fashionista Serena Williams sports a softer look off court. Big, soft waves complement a strapless dress well.
Kelly's Curls
Taraji P. Henson pulls it up and away with this updo, which never goes out of style.

Face-Framing
Kelly Rowland goes for big hair with this full of volume style. It may look like a lot of work, but if your hair is natural, this can be as simple as wash-and-go.
On Grammy night, Kelly makes a slight switch to her previous look by pulling only the front back and pinning in place. Leave the back loose and long.
