In March, we put five real women up to a challenge -- create a hairstyle with lots of volume using Sebastian Volupt Spray, $19.95 to be judged by TotalBeauty.com editors and for a chance to win a trip to New York Fashion Week in September 2010. The bloggers styled their locks and submitted photos, and now we reveal their results (and the winner!) along with their step-by-step tutorials on how you can create the same 'dos at home.

Prep and blow dry
Start the look by wetting your hair (not washing), then use a deep conditioning treatment. Follow with 10-13 sprays of Sebastian Volupt Spray, $19.95. Then blow dry hair with a diffuser.

Curl and flat iron
Next, curl large sections of hair with a 1 1/2-inch barrel curling iron to add volume. Then smooth the ends with a flat iron.

Finished look
To finish the look, pull hair into a low, side ponytail, then loop it into a loose bun -- pulling out pieces of hair in the front for your desired look. Then use hairspray to hold the look in place.
