DIY the Look: 14 of the Hottest 2014 VMAs Hairstyles
Are you a red carpet fanatic? We love to watch and plan out our next DIY of the beauty and style variety, scoping out the stars’ sleek tresses, beautiful blowouts and an updo or two that we can cop for our next event. The celebs aren’t the only ones who can pull off the latest ‘dos — you can too, girl! We pulled together 14 looks from the 2014 VMAs to make your tresses just as red carpet worthy as these lovely ladies.
1. Loose Waves: Kim Kardashian has proven that loose waves and a simple middle part are appropriate for any occasion. And, they are totally doable for every DIY-er! (via Maskcara)
2. Braided Crown: Mini dance diva, red carpet goer or not, you deserve to wear Maddie Ziegler’s braided crown. This pretty look is perfect for a wedding, a classy night out or any ol’ day when you’re just feeling like a million bucks. (via Once Wed)
3. No Part Updo: We are loving this part-less updo Ali Fedotowsky is rocking. The bouffant bun is a great way to achieve this effortlessly classy look. (via The Freckled Fox)
4. Pretty-Messy Ponytail: Yes, you can wear this relaxed pretty-messy pony just like Lucy. Try the updo hairstyle for an easy, yet refined, take on a casual evening on the town. (via Cider With Rosie)
5. Vintage Curls: This classy look is one of our faves, and we are especially loving Bailey Buntain’s long locks. (via All Day Chic)
6. Big Curls: When are big curls not in style? And, this look, sported by Olivia Cupulo, can be pulled off with just a blow dryer at your disposal. (via Once Wed)
7. Beach Waves: If Taylor Swift can pull off beach waves at the VMAs, we have permission to wear them to any event. Ever. (via Little Miss Momma)
8. Wet Hair: We are loving the wet hair look Rita Ora and Iggy A were rocking on the carpet. This look is super simple and classy, and a great way to smooth out all those bad-hair-day stresses. (via Glamour)
9. Color: We see you rockin’ that color, Kesha! Get this super simple look with hair chalk! It is colorful and fun (which we love), and you can wash it out. (via Brit + Co)

11. Slick Pony: Ariana Grande is proof that a timeless high pony is always a stand-out. Wrap your everyday ponytail with some of your tresses and it elevates the look to red carpet-worthy levels. (via Brit + Co)
12. High Bun: Want a classy yet worry-free look? Awkward. actor Ashley Rickard’s style is your new go-to. It keeps your hair back while still giving a little party preview in the front. (via Hair & Makeup by Steph)
13. Short Hair: If you’re rocking short hair or growing out locks in that in-between stage, Julianne Hough should be your chic inspiration. (via The Beauty Department)
14. Beyoncé Hair: That’s right. Beyoncé’s signature tresses are so fab they get their very own mention. Get the look at home with giant waves and a whole lot of sass. (via Anna Saccone Joly)
