Beyoncé's Super-Shiny Hair

2/3/2010 4:30:00 PM by Colleen Moody

I promise I'll stop droning on and on about the Grammys this past weekend, but I simply cannot not address the shiny sparkly wonderfulness of Beyoncé's hair. I am a sucker for anything sparkly, hence my undying love for Lady Gaga, so it made my heart sing like a dove when I saw what appeared to be thin strands of tinsel in B's hair Sunday night. Tinsel in your hair? Why didn't I think to try this? Once again, Beyoncé proves she is the queen with this look. Sure, Gaga, you can wear glittery half-heeled shoes, but can you weave glitter in your hair, wherever it is under those ridiculous wigs? Nope, not like Beyoncé.

Aside from blinging on the red carpet, Beyoncé's ultra-smooth and straight hair oozed sex appeal in front of the cameras. Celebrity stylist Kimberly Kimble helped Beyoncé get her locks in tip-top head-whipping shape for her big performance and the red carpet. See how she got this look below, so you can try it on for size just in time for Valentine's Day.

"Both her red carpet and performance hairstyles were very clean and modern," Kimble said. "She kept the hair simple since her dresses made such a big statement." To get her look, Kimble began by blow-drying her hair using a Kimble Creations Smooth Finishing Brush. To get this look, any flat paddle brush will work. She created a very deep side part and flat-ironed the hair bone-straight with an ERGO Go2 Flat Iron. She finished the look with Kimble Hair Care Systems Hair Polisher and Kimble Hair Care Systems Retrospective Workable Hair Spray. For Beyoncé's red carpet look, she added a little extra sparkle by working Bella Via Metallic Ribbon Strands into her hair. The inspiration for this was that they coordinated perfectly with her Minx nails!

Metallic ribbon strands and Minx?! I think I'm in love…
