Vixen, Validated: How to Get Terri J. Vaughn's Side Swept Look at the 2009 BET Awards

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.
