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. Β “The inspiration for this show is individual beauty and what the women themselves bring to the clothes” Reese exclaimed. Β Cantu creates ultra-nourishing beauty products that allow your authentic beauty to shine. Β Sharing this aesthetic made Cantu x Tracy Reese the perfect match. Β 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. Β The inspiration was very care free. Β So what we did was use the co-wash all over the hair to give it a clean fresh look. Β Then we use the thermal shield to give the hair a more finished look. Β 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. Β Then we blow-dried it, or curled it, or gave it whatever it needed. Β 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. Β 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. Β She comes up with the idea then we kind of go back and forth and have a conversation about what I feel. Β 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! Β Tracy allows me to be free in a collaborative effort and when we agree we move on. Β She is very open-minded and I love that.”
Β 
The idea of strength, individuality, and celebrating each girl’s natural look was evident. Β Seeing so many different hair types and textures presented in one cohesive collection was totally refreshing. Β Often times in this society and in the fashion world women are lead to believe unrealistic beauty standards. Β Many women forget that being our unique natural selves is the best way to be. Β 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 Β½ inch curling iron to create subtle curls at the lengths. When finished, loosen up the curls with your fingers for a more subtle wave.
