The B.E.T Awards aka the Bad Ethnic Tresses Awards

The hair at the 2010 B.E.T Awards was disappointing to say the least. For the most part everyone looked a hot mess! Literally frizzy, messy, boring hair more akin to something towel dried after swimming at the pool than styled for an awards show. There were a few who did it right, but scrolling through this years red carpet pictures I felt like I was picking the best of the worst....I'm just going to blame the recession.... sigh.... And the winners are!

The Natural?

I've seen a lot of girls out and about in Washington, DC sporting "Natural" styles.... except there's a whole lot of weave happening up in that "Natural". Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the style (wit or wit/out weave), I'm a firm believer in "I am not my hair", but it is a little funny, very cute when done right, and down right horrific when done wrong.

Below find Solange Knowles and Fatima Saad (of ANTM) showcasing their naturals. I went to college with a girl of Ethiopian decent whose hair could definitely naturally produce Fatima's style and I have a good friend currently doing something similar to Solange with her natural hair.

But what do you think? Is that all them up there? In any case...
