Tracy Reese is one of NYFW’s must-see shows each season and her latest presentation did not disappoint. The designs were just as whimsical and ethereal as the the beauty looks: featuring natural beauties including icon Bethann Hardison and Sasheer Zamata. Bok-Hee was the stylist behind the gorgeous hair creations, which was an ode to real beauty. Many of the models wore either their natural texture or a tousled topknot. Here, the steps to recreate the latter:

1. Starting with your natural hair texture, work through a small amount of $8 Cantu Wave Whip Curling Mousse to define the natural pattern.

2. Take a large section from the sides, top, and crown area and loosely pull it into a messy half bun—using an elastic to secure it in place. Make sure to leave a few, naturally-falling pieces along the sides of the face and close to the nape of the neck.

3. Gently tug on the hair that is pulled back to make it perfectly imperfect. Then, loosely pin the bun to your head.

4. Spritz the Cantu Coil Calm Detangler to define the texture of your hair that is not in the knot.

5. Finish off the look with a few sprigs of baby’s breath or a jeweled barrette.
