Cardi B's AMA Look Was Straight Out of the '90s Due to These Genius Hair Tools

Creative hairstyles really had their moment in the '90s—think spiky hair, butterfly clips, and feathered cuts. At this year's American Music Awards, Cardi B showed up to perform with some of the best hair we've seen since 1999.

Her look, which featured Rapunzel-esque super-straight strands, deeply side-parted bangs, and a waterfall of hair gathered at the top of her head, will definitely be considered iconic for years to come. Paired with silver jewelry and a powder-blue ensemble, Cardi B truly stole the show.

To create this stunning look, celebrity hairstylist Tokyo Stylez reached for GHD tools. Below, find the full breakdown of how Stylez created Cardi's sculptural hair.
