A structured look by Lacy Redway for the Public School Runway
Every year, amidst the glamour of NYFW, the stars of every show are always the stunning outfits on the models. However, no look is complete without the perfect hairstyle. Pairing with America’s #1 haircare brand, TRESemmé, award-winning hair stylist Lacy Redway created some stunning structured looks for Public School’s 2026 runway. In her own words, “For Public School, the hair reflects that New York mindset. We created something polished, intentional, and effortless. It’s sophisticated yet functional and aspirational yet recreatable–built to hold up in motion, in the wind, and in real city life.”

For those who want to create the same looks at home, we have gotten the exact breakdown on how to achieve this powerful style with the best TRESemmé products.
-
STEP 1: Prep hair with the TRESemmé A-List Collection All-In-One Hair Style Primer to smooth, protect, and lock in moisture while providing frizz control and heat protection.
-
STEP 2: For natural or textured hair, apply the primer first, then straighten. Use the TRESemmé A-List Collection Instant Fix Styling Stick to smooth flyaways. For all other hair types, rake the TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse through the hair, directing everything straight back to form the base of the look.
-
STEP 3: Apply the TRESemmé Freeze Hold Gel to the sides and back half of the head (including the crown) to secure the style, keeping the sides smooth and tight while maintaining subtle volume at the top.
-
STEP 4: Secure with no-crease clips and dry fully using a dryer to set the shape.
-
STEP 5: Once dry, warm a small amount of the TRESemmé A-List Collection Bonding Oil between palms and lightly apply to the ends for runway-level shine.
-
STEP 6: Finish with the TRESemméA-List Collection Lacquer Shine Spray, followed by the TRESemméA-List Collection Workable Hairspray, to lock in hold and enhance shine.
