MODERN SALON TV's most recent episode covered hair-style trends at the Country Music Awards. The CMAs showcased many up-and-coming looks—here’s what was on our radar in celeb style this season!

Co-host Carrie Underwood stole the show with two hot trends. First, her spot-on buttery blonde. Aura Friedman, Wella Professionals Celebrity Colorist says she’s seeing a shift from cool, platinum blondes to golden and rosy tones—so Carrie’s warm color hits the mark.

Next, Carrie’s pinned-back curly style was a mini-trend echoed by Entertainer of the Year winner Taylor Swift. Taylor’s standard texture got a new twist with this pinned-back look that was especially versatile for her multiple hair and dress changes throughout the show.

In the audience, Nicole Kidman showed off a strawberry blonde shade, which bears a strong resemblance to the peach and rose gold trend that’s on the rise. The key to the on-trend color is the natural dimension, which “makes these shades radiate with an inner glow,” Aura says.

Another major trend set to take off is 1940s retro-glam, as seen on performer Natasha Bedingfield, who rocked a bob with deep side part. Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott wore a longer hair version of the trend: Side-swept locks with a side part and slight wave.

Also from the last MSTV episode, we featured another YouShare video from modernsalon.tv/youshare, where anyone can upload video content under the categories of education, inspiration and collaboration. And from Dazzles Salon in New Jersey, Gerard Caruso illustrated his method of creating disconnection and texture in a solid hair cut.
