While in New York for Fashion Week, I took a day off from shows and events for some wedding dress shopping with my mom! Knowing what I was in the market for in terms of style, I asked the TRESemmé team to pull my hair off to the side in a lose braid to get the hair off my back. I love the deep part they gave me (something very different from my normal middle part) and the lose curls off to the side. It gave the look a very romantic and vintage feel… a style that will go perfectly with my dress (hint, hint). I did end up saying YES to the dress, the first one I tried on actually, and Raj and I are now in full-on planning mode for our summer wedding! Can’t wait to share all of the details with you along the way! You can follow along here, #aglamengagement.
As you could probably tell, I had a blast at NYFW with the entire TRESemmé team! I loved getting to see all the backstage action and the real deal pros at work creating all of these inspiring looks! A lot of what we see on the runways isn’t completely wearable in real life, but what I love about TRESemmé is how they bring the catwalk right to the crosswalk, creating hairstyles that can easily be achieved at home. I picked my favorite look from all shows, the rock n’ roll waves look TRESemmé created at the Rebecca Minkoff show, and created a step-by-step tutorial on how you can get the look! Read on to find out how to rock the messy waves look.
{Step 1} – Dispense several pumps of TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam onto clean hair.
{Step 2} – Scrunch through hair, applying roots to tips, focusing more on your ends.
{Step 3} – Start to blow dry hair sections of hair straight to help eliminate any frizz.
{Step 4} – Using a large barrel curling iron or wand, curl one-inch sections of hair away from the face, focusing the curling on midway down to the ends.
{Step 5} – The most important part! Finger brush the curls to break them apart and stretch them into more of a wave. I get asked about this all the time after I curl my hair and this is the master trick to prevent pageant curls.
{Step 6} – Spritz your entire head with TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Sea Salt Spray and scrunch with hands to create an edgier texture.
{Step 7} – Dispense a pearl-size dollop of the TRESemmé “Max the Volume” Root Lifting Cream and rub hands together to emulsify.
{Step 8} – Apply the cream to roots by working it in with your fingertips to create more lift. This helps to give the matte “bed head” type of look.
{Step 9} – Finish the look by spraying TRESemmé Youth Boost Voluminous Hold Hairpsray to lock in the style and maintain control and lift all day.
And there you have it! A recreation of my favorite look from this season’s hottest runway! If you decide you want to give this look a try, snap a photo on Instagram and tag @TRESemmé & @OhSoGlamBlog!

I’m so excited to take you backstage at the Rebecca Minkoff show today! The Rebecca Minkoff show is always quite the event each season. Not only are her collections always so on point, but she has had a live band each season for the past few shows which brings an entirely different vibe to the runway.
I got to head backstage with TRESemmé to watch them create the look of “rock and roll waves” from scratch. I should have known by looking at the hair that we were in for a wild ride. Rebecca Minkoff’s entire collection had a very boho/western flare to it this season… tons of fringe, suede over-the-knee boots, printed maxi dresses, lace tights, oversized western sweaters, and fedoras filled the runway. It felt straight out of the 70’s and I loved every second of it.
To get this perfectly messy look, Orlando Pita for TRESemmé, used a few different products. The “rock and roll waves” look is all about creating texture with a matte finish, for that just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. #iwokeuplikethis. Orlando used a combo of TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam and TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Sea Salt Spray to create the curls using a large barrel curling iron. After messing them up with his fingers (for that perfectly undone look), he then used the secret sauce… TRESemmé “Max the Volume” Root Lifting Cream which gave the hair that perfectly messy volume we all want! I had this same look created for the show ahead of time and loved it! Although waves are my signature hairstyle, the messy rock and roll style kicked it up a notch and I felt perfectly at home at the runway show!
I’m so excited to show you a step-by-step tutorial to get this look on the blog tomorrow, make sure to stay tuned!
