"The Blind Side" actress Sandra Bullock rocked blunt bangs at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

The mane man behind her new look is celebrity hairstylist David Babaii. He revealed that he was inspired by the '60s in creating Bullock's bangs and textured ends.

Babaii predicts this award season will be full of natural textures and waves, adding that gorgeous, shiny, red-carpet-worthy locks can be created with simply one product and, of course, the proper styling tools.

He proves his point by using only the new and nourishing Couture Pequi Oil Treatment to create Bullock's '60s-style hairdo. Read on for Babaii's step-by-step instructions.

* Apply a small amount Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment to damp hair. This product will not be available until March, so in the meantime, we suggest you try Ojon Restorative Leave-In Treatment for All Shades.

* After blow-drying hair straight with a paddle brush, section the hair, beginning with the bang area, and then clip the sides and back.

* Starting at the nape, reapply Ojon's Restorative Leave-In Treatment to each section to create the maximum amount of shine while you flatiron the hair completely straight with IT&LY Hair Fashion Digital Flat Iron.

* Using a flatiron for the bang area, turn the iron slightly under to create a soft cupping effect.

* To finish, apply some of the Restorative Treatment to your hands, warm slightly and then run your hands over the top to smooth flyaways and to define the piecey texture at the ends.

Nah don't like it. But I'm sure that she is not waiting to see what any of us think.

I don't like the bangs. Why would she want to hide that beautiful face?

I hate her bangs! As someone earlier said, it is too much bang; she has a small face and does not need all that hair...get rid of it!!!

Bad Hairstyle for her

I'd say either the bangs and long shaggy look - or the dress. Even she can't work them together.

I was hoping Sandra was wearing a wig b/c that hairdo was awful. Made me uncomfprtable just looking at her.

Oh thank you so much for such an informative article! God bless you! With all of the problems in this world which are more important, I'm glad to know how Monsieur Babaii makes bangs!

@Bubba: Although the world's problems are very important, we all need a little break once in a while!

Sandra has such a pretty face that I don't know why she covers it up. That style may be ok for a teenager but not someone her age. It looks too shaggy and unkept. I am really surprised at her. The hairstyle certainly did not go with the lovely dress either. It should have looked more formal. Probably would have been better swept up to go with the dress.

Her do reminded me of something Elizabeth Taylor wore as Cleopatra back in the mid 60's. Her makeup accentuated that look. It might be okay for going out to dinner or a movie but not with that gown and occasion.

I agree. The whole look would have worked a lot better had the back of her hair been swept up. Off the shoulder gowns don't look as elegant when the hair is down.
