Backstage Beauty at Tracy Reese SS18

Celebrating her 20th anniversary, this season Tracy Reese teamed up with Cantu Beauty Products.

Tracy Reese unveiled her spring/summer 2018 collection during New York Fashion Week. The event took place at Pier 59 Studios and was full of fabulous hair moments from models and guest alike.  “The inspiration for this show is individual beauty and what the women themselves bring to the clothes” Reese exclaimed.  Cantu creates ultra-nourishing beauty products that allow your authentic beauty to shine.  Sharing this aesthetic made Cantu x Tracy Reese the perfect match.  I got the chance to join all the backstage magic and speak with one of my favorite key hair stylist, Bok-hee.

Check out what she had to say about using Cantu Beauty Products and working with Tracy Reese.

Key hair stylist Bok-hee

-What was it like using Cantu Beauty Products?

“They are such a great product line.  The inspiration was very care free.  So what we did was use the co-wash all over the hair to give it a clean fresh look.  Then we use the thermal shield to give the hair a more finished look.  So if the ends were fried or if the ends were a little bit dry we just used a bit in our hands and ran it through the hair.  Then we blow-dried it, or curled it, or gave it whatever it needed.  After that, we used the edge stay gel and just put it in the hair so it feels like they’ve been running around a bit, a little sweaty, and a little cool.  That was the idea and why we used the Cantu products that way.”

-You have been working with Tracy for a while now, tell us what that’s like.
 
“She is so lovely to work with.  She comes up with the idea then we kind of go back and forth and have a conversation about what I feel.  She allows me to say what I think which is very rare to have now because they usually say this is what we want – this is it!  Tracy allows me to be free in a collaborative effort and when we agree we move on.  She is very open-minded and I love that.”
 
The idea of strength, individuality, and celebrating each girl’s natural look was evident.  Seeing so many different hair types and textures presented in one cohesive collection was totally refreshing.  Often times in this society and in the fashion world women are lead to believe unrealistic beauty standards.  Many women forget that being our unique natural selves is the best way to be.  Thanks, Cantu x Tracy Reese ss18 for the remainder!
Get the look step-by-step:

Step 1: Start by spraying roots and lengths of hair with Cantu Refresh Dry Co-Wash for a clean, conditioned base.

Step 2: Next, spray hair with Cantu Thermal Shield Heat Protectant and blow hair out smooth using a round brush.

Step 3: Once hair is smoothed out, use a 1 ½ inch curling iron to create subtle curls at the lengths. When finished, loosen up the curls with your fingers for a more subtle wave.

Step 4: Lastly, mold hairline around the part and face using Cantu Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel to stand up slightly.

Her standout performance is already gaining praise.
