Read along for a real inside look at what it's like to be a creative force behind one of the most buzzed-about NYFW shows. Plus, get the full tutorial (only three steps) on how to complete the easiest bent-hair look, ever!

For a modern '70s vibe, gentle waves paired with a smoky, mod eye.

Love this hair look? It's made for lazy girls and those who can't curl hair for the life of them. It literally takes one wrap around an iron per hair section. The masterminds at TRESemmé broke it down.

Step 1: Spritz dry, straight hair with dry shampoo at the root for volume. Follow with hairspray. 
 
Step 2: With a one-inch curling iron, wrap hair up and around the barrel one time without using clamp. Iron should be placed in the middle of the length of your hair. Hold for 5-10 seconds and release.
 
Step 3: Pull apart each section for a smooth, undone look. Spray with a touch more hairspray for volume.
 
Pro Tip: Leave ends out entirely. They should be straight but not stick straight.
