Celebrity Hair Stylist Johnny Wright worked with 3-time NAACP award winning actress and Bet.com red carpet host Terri J. Vaughn at the 2009 BET Awards in Los Angeles.

The star graced the red carpet with a chic and sassy side swept look. To achieve the look, follow these tips from Johnny Wright:

• Always make sure you are starting with healthy hair. Johnny conditioned Terri's hair the day before the awards with Roots of Nature Reconstructing Deep Treatment.
  "Terri has been working out a lot so I wanted to reinforce the shine of her hair with a deep conditioner. The shea butter and green tea in the Roots of Nature Reconstructing Deep Treatment provide the moisture and shine she was looking for," advised Johnny Wright.
• 
  Style hair the day after shampooing and conditioning. Wright says, "Hair looks best the day after shampooing.  When preparing for a special occasion, always plan to shampoo your hair the day prior."
• 
  For women with exceptionally dry hair, applying a small amount of Roots of Nature Strengthening Oil Moisturizer prior to styling will help seal the cuticle and provide a smooth sleek look.
• 
  For Terri's red carpet look, Johnny went for a funky yet chic look that would compliment her asymmetrical cut. He flat ironed her hair in quarter inch sections from top to bottom.
  "The key to achieving Terri's look is to have fun with it. When flat ironing, use the iron in random sections to add variety to the texture," says Wright.
