Fashion week has officially kicked off here in the NYC! I'm totally missing everything, it's a good thing I've got friends. They are here to share the goods from the shows so I don't feel so freaking left out!!

Turns out John Frieda & Frizz-Ease are working the hair tent for BCBG ( love love their dresses!!) Check out the deets below so you can start rocking your hair the same way.

Fashion week officially kicked off this morning with the showing of an early favorite, BCBG Max Azria.  The modern, asymmetrical ensembles that ruled the runway were completed with a contemporary, sleek hairstyle created by John Frieda International Creative Consultant Harry Josh. 

“The collection had a clean, modern feel,” says Harry.  “I wanted to complement that aesthetic with a very comfortable and effortlessly chic look.  The inspiration came from the models themselves, who would come into casting and quickly pull their hair back into a bun.  I really wanted to create a look that a woman wearing BCBG would sport herself, since the looks on the runway were also extremely wearable.”

Harry began by applying John Frieda’s Frizz-Ease Take Charge Mousse to dry hair and blow drying, using his fingers instead of a brush to separate the hair from the root and create texture.   The technique was crucial to recreating the “pulled back” look any girl would get while styling her own hair.

Once the hair was secured in a low pony, Harry added a small amount of John Frieda’s new Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion to the ends of the hair to ensure the tips were healthy looking and defined.  He then wrapped the pony into a twisted bun, leaving the tips of the hair sticking out in a fan-like “fringe.”

“The fringe really completed the look made this low, classic bun a modern, chic style,” says Harry.
