Doja Cat Channels the Early 2000s With Her Grammys Hairstyle

The red carpet for the 2022 Grammys has started, and stars are already turning heads. Laverne Cox debuted new purple hair, and eagle-eyed fans spotted Addison Rae's water-droplet french manicure with ease. Amid the glam, Doja Cat also caught attention for her Versace dress and early-2000s-inspired hairstyle.

The rapper's platinum-blond hairstyle came equipped with micro bangs and face-framing tendrils, plus elevated twists at the crown of her head and flipped ends — a true mainstay in the early aughts.

Her hairstylist, Jared Henderson, explained that many of the products he used to create the look were affordable. "I prepped the blonde wig by shampooing and conditioning with the Joico Color Balance Purple Shampoo ($21) to strip it of all yellow/brassy tones," he says.

After applying the wig, Henderson blow-dried it straight using the GHD Helios Professional Hair Dryer ($279) and the GHD Paddle Brush ($35). To style, he says he "sectioned off the hair from temple to temple and used JoiGel Firm Styling Gel ($20) for the twists and Bantu knots at the top of the hair."

The rest of the hair was pulled into a half-up ponytail using JoiMist Firm Protective Finishing Spray ($21) to finish the section. Lastly, he straightened the back with the GHD Unplugged Styler ($299) and finished off the entire hairstyle with one more spray of the JoiMist Firm Protective Finishing Spray ($21) for hold and to control frizz on the carpet.
