Backstage at Tracy Reese, Syfu got to work blow drying the hair with Tresemmé Thermal Creations Mousse, $3.99, throughout the hair and Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray, $3.99, on the ends. Then, she created a deep side part and pinned the hair to one side with matte black bobby pins. "She's a young New York girl who's not overthinking it," says Syfu of the inspiration. "It's 'day two' hair." For added texture, she finished the look with a mist of Tresemmé Fresh Start Color Care Dry Shampoo, $5.29.

Princess braids at Rodarte
Hairstylist Odile Gilbert for John Frieda referred to the look at Rodarte as, "rocker princess with a cool undone texture." She used a curling iron to put waves into the hair, and then brushed it out to make it look more natural. Then, she sectioned off hair on either side of the face, braided each section, and joined the two braids at the back of the head. To create the rose-like bun, she simply wrapped the ends of the braids around each other, and secured with bobby pins.
Sure, the clothes are gorgeous and the makeup is fun, but New York Fashion Week is the ultimate for one thing: a major dose of hair inspiration.
From stunning styles to techniques we've never seen before, the stylists backstage never disappoint -- and Fall 2013 may go down as the best season ever for truly amazing hair.
While the hairstyles ranged from straight blowouts to elaborate braids, they all had one thing in common: They were high on pretty and low on fussy. Gone are the days of intentionally frizzy, wild, and wacky. "Right now, it's all about natural-looking hair ," says Tresemmé Celebrity Stylist Jeanie Syfu. "Even if I'm using a curling iron, I'm brushing it out to make the waves look less perfect." And since a non-perfect hairstyle is so much easier to achieve than some of the overdone looks of seasons past, this is good reason for all of us non-hairstylists to celebrate.
