A look some have dubbed “Heidi hair,” Taylor paired her cream white, grecian goddess-esque gown with a loose headband braid and soft, face-framing pieces in front. The style didn’t stick around long, though, as Taylor literally let her hair down to open the show with a performance and one heck of a circus crew on backup.

Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae’s heavy fringe may have been one of the most influential hair trends of 2012, and it looks like it’s carrying over into 2013, possibly even inspiring other celebs to take the plunge. Usually one to opt for a more sleek and chic style--it’s rare to see her wearing any sort of texture or wave on the red carpet--Carly Rae kept it simple at the Grammys, letting her blunt bang take center stage.
