You have Monica's makeup look by Mylah Morales, now get her hair by Ursula Stephen! “Monica was wearing an origami inspired dress (by Stephane Rolland, which Monica loved wearing), so I wanted the hair to have some contrast and shape. Her hairstyle is one that can be reworked on a daily basis and is easy to have fun with.” This half pixie, half mohawk cut is sexy and feminine.

• Start by premoisturizing the hair. Motions Oil Moisturizer Lotion makes wrapping and molding the hair easy.
• Comb the hair out and apply Motions Light Hold Working Spritz all over.
• Separate the hair into small sections and curl with a small set iron. By curling each section in different directions, it creates drama and life. “Right away the hair stands up on edge," reveals Stephen.
• Take a dime-size of Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade, mix in a serum, and run hands together. Push the product all the way through the hair, shaping it as you like by using the pomade.
• For added lift and dramatic effect, tease the roots at the crown of the head with a comb. Keep hair in place by finishing with Motions Hold & Shine Styling Spray.

By far, this has to be my favorite shade of red on Rihanna. Celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen said, "First, I looked for a new red color and brought a variety of options to try but ultimately felt this one really stood out as the best." I completely agree - this shade stood out in a great way.

“When Rihanna and I collaborate, we are always searching to recreate her image through her hair. Since we’ve recently done a lot of texture and length, we wanted to mix it up. While we talked about going shorter,  I wanted to try something a little newer on her than the sleek bob that you are used to seeing."

What's her name? Red.

Ursula Stephen, Motions Celebrity Stylist, created Paula Patton’s gorgeous hairstyle, proving that you can look red-carpet ready without breaking the bank. With only five steps, this style is as simple as it looks:

>>Apply Motions Light Styling Foam all over hair, and blow dry in an upward direction for volume.

>>Using a 1 1/4” curling iron, create waves throughout hair.

>>Tease the entire head with a fine-toothed comb, emphasizing on the crown.

>>Using fingers, gently pull hair into a twist while keeping sides smooth, without losing volume at the crown, and secure with small hair pins.

>>Finish with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz for flexible hold.

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.
