New York-based celebrity hairstylist Dante Blandshaw created the bangin' bob worn by "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson on the big award night.

"This is a clean, fresh, modern take on a layered, textured bob," says Blandshaw. "I wanted to create a modern, asymmetrical, textured bob with natural movement and shine."
Blandshaw shares ten expert styling tips on how to achieve Taraji's tantalizing do:

STEP 1
"I started with Aveda Brilliant Shampoo, $15.30, and Aveda Brilliant Conditioner, $19.80, to soften Taraji's textured hair," says Blandshaw. "I love the Aveda Brilliant line because it provides a smooth shine to textured hair and reduces blow-dry time."
