After every award show, we're left relishing in the best red carpet hairstyles for days on end. Between reposts on Instagram and highlights on every pop culture news source, there's certainly no shortage of inspiration for red carpet-worthy hairstyles that you can bring to life in the salon. 

Because the pinnacle of award show season took place earlier this week, it's only right to bring you six different Oscar hairstyles and their respective step-by-steps to recreate on your clients with ease. 

Jennifer Lawrence | Beach Waves 

Step-by-Step recreated by Farouk Systems Global Artist Anna Cantu:

1. Spray CHI Dry Shampoo on the scalp area.
2. This tousled texture begins with 3 large sections:
3. First is sectioning ear to ear, that’s your largest section. Next is creating a center part down the middle to the top of the crown. Once you do this it will create 2 sections. 
4. Taking square 2”sections spray CHI Infra Texture Spray and wrap hair around a Dura CHI 1” Curling Iron for 15 seconds for each strand. Continue to create these soft spring waves on the entire back section.
5. On the side section, still take the 2” parts but make sure to curl away from the face.
6. Once completed, apply CHI Infra Texture Spray to expand and create movement throughout the hair. 
7. For added volume you can tease the inside of the hair by running your fingers through the strands.

Zendaya | Top Knot 

Step-by-Step recreated by Farouk Systems Global Artist Anna Cantu

1. Begin by applying CHI Silk Infusion and begin to straighten the hair with your CHI LAVA 1” Hairstyling Iron. Since we need to start with smooth, silky hair and these two items will help us achieve that initial look.
2. Once straightened, start to gather toward the top of the crown – brush and smooth the hair with a CHI Turbo Backcomb Brush. To control the hairs, create a CHI cocktail with CHI Pliable Polish and CHI Silk Infusion. 
3. Once you have a good smooth, sleek pony, secure it with an elastic band. Next, apply CHI Enviro 54 Hairspray - Firm Hold to the scalp area only and brush to perfect the pony.
4. Using the CHI cocktail again, start to softly twist the pony clock-wise to create a bun. Once completely wrapped, start to lift the front view of the bun to create a more vertical bun. Pin and secure.
5. Spray CHI Helmet Head Hairspray to lock in the style.
