Whether side swept or swept up, we spotted braids on many runways. For a more classic take on the undone braided updo at Michael Kors, stylist Orlando Pita used texture paste at the roots of the hair and dry shampoo all over before braiding the hair at the back of the head and pinning it under.

Braid pro James Pecis, working with Beauty.com, gave the girls at Nanette Lepore side swept braids fit for a "gypsy caravan traveler." To prep the hair, he applied Alterna Bamboo Volume 48 Hour Sustainable Volume Spray from root to tip as well as Alterna Bamboo Volume Uplifting Root Blast before blow drying (for hair that was very thin or flat, he also sprayed Alterna Bamboo Style Cleanse Extend Translucent Dry Shampoo throughout the hair.) To create "a natural, soft bohemian wave," Pecis used the T3 BodyWaver Large Barrel Styling Iron, alternating the direction of the curl for each section. For the braids, he took a large section across the forehead and braided down and across to the ear, leaving the ends to blend with the rest of the hair.

Ponytails are big for spring, and judging by all of the textured, parted and slicked back varieties we saw backstage, the trend is sticking around for the fall. At Vivienne Tam, in keeping with the '70s look, Tresemmé Global Stylist Matthew Curtis first created a deep part in the hair and worked Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse throughout before blowing dry. To "create a straighter look and give more hold," he separated the hair into several sections and sprayed with Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray before flat ironing. Curtis secured the ponytail just above the nape of the neck "to keep it a bit more youthful," and concealed the elastic by wrapping a small piece of hair around it and fastening underneath with a pin that matched the models' hair color. For a silky, frizz-free finish, Curtis spritzed hair with Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray.

To create the perfect ponytail, Curtis says "always keep your head up straight." Leaning forward will give you a looser ponytail, he says, adding "if you don't quite get it as smooth as you want, spray some hairspray on the comb before running it over the hair."
