Riding the Wave
Natural, beachy waves dominated the runway at Diane von Furstenberg, where Orlando Pita started by creating deep side parts on models. He then worked Tresemmé Make Waves Shaping Gel Cream through 2-inch sections of slightly wet hair, which he then twisted and secured into buns using hair pins. Start with one row of buns at the base of the neck and then create a second row around the crown and forehead until all hair is secured. Depending on time, those wishing to recreate the look can let the buns air dry or blow-dry them.

After unraveling the buns, Pita brushed out hair, tucked one side behind an ear and set the look with hairspray.

Let's Do the Twist
Aveda Global Artistic Director Allen Ruiz created a sturdy yet sophisticated rope braid in a nod to Public School's globetrotting woman -- who likes to keep her hair out of her face.

To start, he saturated damp hair with Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep and then blow-dried it while brushing it back. He then secured hair into a ponytail and smoothed Aveda Smooth Infusion Nourishing Style Cream over loose hair. Taking a small potion of hair from the bottom of the ponytail, he wrapped it around the base of the ponytail and secured it with pins to hide the elastic. Then, he divided the ponytail into two sections and, while twisting both sections clockwise, he simultaneously twisted the sections together in a counterclockwise direction. He finished by applying style cream to the entire braid to calm flyaways.

A Low Bun That's High on Style
For those days that you need to quickly throw your hair back but don't want to sacrifice style, try a simple yet chic hair knot, like the one Aveda Global Creative Director Antoinette Beenders created for Osklen's show.

She started by running Aveda Thickening Tonic through models' hair, blow-drying it straight and then securing it into a low ponytail using a bungee. Then, taking the end of the ponytail, she pulled hair up and over the base of the pony to create a loop, which she then secured with a second bungee. She wrapped the remaining ends and around the ponytail base, letting strands fan out for a casual-cool look which she secured with a third bungee.

Festival-Ready Hair
We can totally picture boho babes rocking the dreamy hair look Odile Gilbert created on models at the Altuzarra show. To begin with, she used her hands to work Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream through damp hair. She roughly blow-dried hair, all the while twisting sections with her fingers to achieve natural-looking texture. Then, she took two sections from the side of the head and twisted them away from the face and towards the nape of the neck where she secured them with an elastic. She held the look in place with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray.

Bold Braids
For the Herve Leger show, New York Fashion Week Ambassador for Tresemmé, Orlando Pita, created a braid that was simultaneously daring yet romantic. He applied Runway Max the Volume Root Lifting Cream to towel-dried hair and blow-dried using a bristle brush. After creating a deep side part, he French braided models' hair across their foreheads. Pita suggests feeding the braid from underneath so that hair is somewhat raised on the forehead, allowing for tendrils to fall forward. He secured the braid at the nape of the neck and finished with hairspray.
