At Carolina Herrera, the hair echoed 1940s elements in the collection. After blow drying the hair straight, hairstylist Orlando Pita for Moroccanoil created a middle part and divided the hair into three sections: one on either side of the face and one in the back from ear to ear. Starting near the part, he rolled each of the front sections horizontally along the head, securing it with bobby pins. Then, he rolled the back section up to create a continuous style around the head.
If you have fine hair, Pita suggests drying your hair with a volumizing mousse. Then, before you style, backcomb to get more lift.

Feminine ponytails at Jenny Packham
The ponytails at Jenny Packham were extremely simple, but also really pretty. To get the look, Syfu used Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Blow Dry Lotion, $5.39, throughout the hair and Tresemmé Platinum Strength Strengthening Heat Protect Spray , $5.29, from mid-shaft through the ends and dried the hair straight with a Mason Pearson brush. She parted it down the middle and teased the hair in the back from ear to ear. Then, she pulled it into a loose ponytail at the nape of the neck and shook the ponytail until pieces naturally fell around the face. "It's an undone ponytail, but I want it to look polished and finished," said Syfu. To get that polished look, she tied a satin ribbon around the elastic.
Now that you've got the hair down, see how to get the models' flawless-looking skin too.
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.
