Fans of Christina Aguilera know that she changes her look often, which means that virtually anyone can adopt her look with relative success. With this song, she debuted her "Dirrty" image as a full-fledged rebellion and departure from her squeaky clean image. In fact, one of the most defining characteristics of the "Dirrty" look was a reinvention in hairstyle which can be easily duplicated.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Get the length. Aguilera's hair in the "Dirrty" video is long and flowing so length is critical in achieving the right look. If your locks are on the shorter side, this means you may be sucking down vitamins and using hair tonic to make your locks grow faster or, even better, adding extensions.

  2. Step 2

    Go platinum. Getting the right color is also highly important so visit your favorite stylist and ask them to give you a super light shade.

  3. Step 3

    Add black streaks. There should be no more than 4 to 5 streaks randomly placed around the crown of the head. Also, be sure that they are thin, not chunky.

  4. Step 4

    Give it a teaser. In her "Dirrty" video, Christina Aguilera plainly has full-bodied hair. If yours isn't quite so full, fake it by using a fine tooth brush or comb to tease small sections of hair at a time. Afterward, add a polishing serum to smooth it out.

  5. Step 5

    Braid it. Once the correct length, color, and body are achieved, braid tiny sections of hair and, either, pull them back or let them hang loose. If you're feeling extremely adventurous, you may emulate dreadlocks by braiding all of your hair into slightly thicker braids.

Tips & Warnings
  • Ask your stylist for a swatch. This eliminates any confusion about the color you want.
  • Ask your stylist to eliminate any swatches with reddish undertones in order to prevent your hair from looking brassy.
