LaQuan Smith’s runway collection drew inspiration from the ’70s and ’80s après ski glam, which inspired Redway’s sleek, high gloss, and “icy” knot. With TRESemmé being a long-time NYFW sponsor, Redway had an arsenal of their latest and greatest hair styling products to create the iconic glam look for LaQuan Smith FW22.
“I wanted the hair to compliment the glamour that we know and love from LaQuan Smith. We kept it bold, sleek and frozen in place, without a single strand out of place.”
I was especially excited to chat with Redway backstage following TRESemmé’s 2021 second annual Future Stylists Fund, which awarded 10 black female stylists $10,000 scholarships to a cosmetology school of their choice

Along with Julia Fox, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Chloe Cherry, and Frida Assen all walked for LaQuan Smith’s FW 22 runway show. Look below for a breakdown of how you can achieve the LaQuan Smith “Icy Knot” using TRESemmé’s runway-worthy hair styling products.
The Breakdown:
Step 1: Begin with TRESemmé One Step Smooth and work it through the hair so there is moisture from roots to ends before creating the style.
Step 2: Apply TRESemmé TRES TWO Mega Control Gel throughout before brushing hair back using a boar bristle brush to smooth out any texture to the crown of the head. Once hair is completely smooth, secure with a hair tie and split the ponytail in half.
Step 3: Wrap the two parts into themselves, creating a knot. Secure the knot with hairpins and freeze the style in place with TRESemmé TRES TWO Freeze Hold Hair Spray.
Step 4: Complete the look with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to create the icy effect.
