Wow! I haven't seen Terri J. Vaughn in a minute, not counting reruns of Soul Food and Three Can Play that Game. A 3-time NAACP award winning actress and BET.com red carpet host, Vaughn was styled by celebrity hairstylist Johnny Wright. Besides setting it off in black, Vaughn sported a funky, but chic and sassy, side swept look. Wright used products from the SoftSheen Carson Roots of Nature line:

Of course, healthy hair is key to the start of a great hairstyle. The day before the BET Awards, Wright treated Vaughn's hair with Roots of Nature Reconstructing Deep Treatment. "Terri has been working out a lot so I wanted to reinforce the shine of her hair with a deep conditioner. The shea butter and green tea in the Roots of Nature Reconstructing Deep Treatment provide the moisture and shine she was looking for," Wright advised.

Did you know that in order for the hair look its healthiest, you should style the hair after shampooing? You should always plan to shampoo your hair the day prior when preparing for a special occasion.

If your hair is exceptionally dry, apply a small amount of Roots of Nature Strengthening Oil Moisturizer prior to styling. This will help seal the cuticle which will in turn provide a smooth, sleek look.

Flat ironing Vaughn's hair from top to bottom, Wright parted her hair in quarter inch sections. This goal was to keep the look funky yet chic while complementing her asymmetrical cut. The key to achieving Terri's look? "Have fun with it. When flat-ironing, use the iron in random sections. This adds variety to the texture," commented Wright.

Have you tried any of the Softsheen Carson Roots of Nature collection? Your thoughts?

Well, Lil' Mama has done it again - went against the grain and sported a funky, "not for the faint of heart" look. Unlike the edgy updo she constructed for Jada Pinkett Smith, the look that celebrity hairstylist Marcia Hamilton fashioned for Lil' Mama at the BET 2009 Awards could be described as "chaotic." Or, if your style is as funky as Hamilton, maybe you would say "different, fun, fresh, or unique." Your thoughts?

Just in case you want to experiment with a new style, here is a step-by-step blow of how Hamilton created this look:

Start by parting a heavy fringe. This fringe should span from eyebrow to eyebrow. A mini-flat iron was used from roots to ends. This helped to ensure that Lil' Mama's fringe was smooth and sleek. Hamilton sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Extra Hold Styling Spray to keep the style long lasting and movable. As a finishing touch, mist the ponytail with a light shine spray to finish the look.

Sweep your remaining hair up and then to the side. It should rest above the left eyebrow.

Use a sturdy elastic, like a Goody Elastic Band, to hold the hair. Sweep into a side ponytail. To smooth down flyaways, spray hair with David Babaii for WildAid Light Styling Spray.

If you desire extra volume, wrap a curly/wavy human hair weft aroung the ponytail. Secure the weft with a bobby pin. To get smooth curls and waves in the ponytail, a H2pro HC34 3/4² Ceramic Curling Iron was used. For perfect, polished curls, take 1" sections and mist with a heat protection spray like White Sands Liquid Texture Medium Hold. Wrap the sections around the iron.

Again, I'm obsessed with Keyshia Cole....well, sort of! Instead of focusing on her makeup, I am talking about her coif, which is an ode to Janet's "Three's Company" mullet and Farrah's iconic "Charlie's Angels" flip. It was both feminine and edgy, thanks to Motions Celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen. "I was definitely inspired by women of the 70's," Stephen reveals.

In just three steps, with help from your mane maestro of course, you can also rock hair "sent from Heaven":

Request eye-catching layers - from top to bottom. Stephen "didn't want to take off too much length" but managed to keep the layering dramatic by leaving some sections longer in the back to boost the wow factor. Stephen aimed to give the cut "an interesting edginess to it."

While the hair is still damp, mist Motions Heat Seeker Protecting Spray Protecting Spray on each section of hair.

For the finishing touch, treat each section to a coating of Motions Light Hold Spritz. To get a smooth, sleek style, promptly flat iron each section.

Do you remember your first Fashion Fair product? Mine was the Oil-Free Perfect Finish Creme to Powder Makeup compact in Tender. This was back in November of 2006. I had just completed Navy boot camp and had transferred to Basic "A" Hospital Corps School, which was in the same city (Great Lakes, Illinois) but across the street.

After gushing to my mom about the massive selection of Dooney & Burke and Coach bags, as well as shoes the local Navy Nex had, we decided to visit. You know that phrase, "Spending like sailors on leave?" Yep, that was me. I was buying all types of clothes, shoes, movies, etc. I wasn't as crazy about makeup though; the most I had ever experimented was with nail polish and lip gloss.

Still, to this day, I don't why I made my way to the Fashion Fair counter. I wasn't familiar with the other makeup counters - Lancome, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, or Estee Lauder - so naturally I would gravitate towards the only Black makeup counter in the store, right? I read Ebony as well as Jet. I guess I was wondering if the brand was really as old-fashioned as the ads suggested.

If I remember correctly, the Fashion Fair rep wasn't there - in fact, it was someone else that matched me. I can't remember which counter she was from, but her makeup was flawless and she dressed like the girls I envied back in high school. She did a great a job blending - I didn't look too made up and it didn't look like I had a mask on my face! Since I had no idea about setting powder at the time, my face was hella greasy-looking. I pretended that it just made my skin glow, just like that time I rubbed a Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick all over my face. Glowing skin, my behind!

I tried it last year - the first time in two years - at the the Fort Sam Houston PX. That was the first time that I was matched for a Fashion Fair foundation in the Summer time. It looked okay - I can't remember which shade it was - but it wasn't until I stepped outside that I noticed that my face was darker than my face. This was before it oxidized. It was like prom night all over again! Since then, I've thrown away my lone Fashion Fair foundation and haven't replaced it. Since I've found Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation, I don't think I will!

Do you remember your first Fashion Fair foundation? Your thoughts? By the way, have you seen the ad for the new brush set:

I love how the brushes look! I'd "brush on beauty" with them!
