Taylor Swift used to be known for her long mermaid-like waves, but for a while now she has been working poker straight hair and an eye-skimming fringe. So, it was nice to see Taylor go back to her glamorous waves at the VMAs, but this time with a Twenties-inspired twist. Taylor's long locks were pin curled and then pinned into place in this elegant 'do, which is a great way to go shorter for the evening without going for the chop. This hairstyle gives Taylor a much more sophisticated and mature look compared to her straight schoolgirl bangs, and suits her face shape beautifully. Taylor topped it all of with classic glam makeup - black eyeliner and blood red lips.

This gorgeous 'do is styled into waves all over giving it a classic look and feel best suited to compliment a long face. This formal hairdo can be easily re-created with hot rollers and needs product for shine and hold. Product is needed for shine and hold and regular trims will help maintain shape.
