Using all TRESemmé products, Redway created “The Satin Ponytail,” inspired by the LaQuan Smith FW23 collection.“LaQuan has a lot of beautiful fabrics and silhouettes in his collection. I drew inspiration from the materials by noticing how the sequin and satin reflected and bounced off the light. I wanted the same feelings for the hair – shiny and reflective.” Redway also took a moment to share which TRESemmé product was her hero product for this season. ” There are so many hair textures this season, so my hero product is the One-step Blowout Balm. No matter the texture of the hair, keeping the hair hydrated is very important, and the One-step balm is an excellent hydrating product for all different textures of hair.”

See below for a step-by-step breakdown of how to achieve this look.

STEP 1: Begin by working TRESemmé One Step Blowout Balm into damp hair from roots to ends to smooth, protect against heat, reduce frizz, and boost shine. Rough-dry product into hair with a flat paddle brush.

STEP 2: Once hair is completely dry, part out a large section of hair using the arch of the eyebrows as a guide on the width and parting back to the crown of the head for length. Clip this section of hair away.

STEP 3: Gather the remaining hair into a low ponytail positioned at the nape, using TRESemmé Mega Control Gel to seal the look and give long-lasting shine. Secure in place with an elastic.

STEP 4: Release the top section and apply TRESemmé Mega Control Gel with a wide-tooth comb to create height and a raked effort. Use a second elastic to secure this section of hair into the ponytail.

STEP 5: Apply TRESemmé Mega Control Gel to the hair shaft to impart extra hold, laying along the spine or middle of the neck for shorter hair lengths.

STEP 6: To complete the look and add a satin finish, apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to the top of the head and the ponytail.

On February 12, 2022 Patricia Bondaldi presented her Fall collection, and might I say was definitely worth the wait. It was my first time attending and viewing her collection from backstage to the runway, it was the most elegant and well put together show of the season.

It was 10am, I got dressed and headed to Surrogate’s Courthouse, and my eyes lit up with excitement as I approached the never before seen runway and location. Walking in there, we were instantly transported to Paris/Italy with the decadent antique designs of the production of the show.

Backstage is where the magic really happens, with world renowned hair stylist Lacey, aka Laceyrunway on lead hair. TRESemme partnered with PatBo, to create the most unique but soft and subtle hairstyles on the runway. TRESemme’s brand is all about soft to the touch hair that is activated by such rich and moisturizing, yet lightweight products, it was only right for them to partner with PatBo.

“The PatBo show is all about undone texture,” Lacey said when asked to describe the technique behind the hairstyles for Patbo FW’22. The hair was all about the texture, patterns and waves on each of the models. “To achieve this look, I’m using the TRESemme one step styler texture spray to add to damp hair, then go in with a little bit of TRESemme moose, followed by a flatiron or whatever you have to achieve this undone wave and finish off with TRESemme hairspray,” Lacey said excitedly. “It’s all just a one, two, step.”

TRESemme has been seen on the runway for many years and many more seasons to come, as its many hairstylist “go-tos” create fabulous looks on 10-20 girls in a minimal amount of time. They want to get the girls in and out, yet leaving them with flawless hair for the remainder of the day.

From backstage, to the runway, even at the after party, models from the show I witnessed still had their runway hair. If products like these can make you runway fresh even at 10pm, they’re the ones to have.
