Redken's Yannick D’Is was inspired by a young pretty girl with perfectly tousled hair. Models' hair was prepped with texturizer and then curled around a one-inch iron. When the whole head was curled, stylists twisted it up into a bun while the makeup was done and then hair was released and shaken out for the naturally tousled look.

The hair was styled sleek and straight at the Donna Karan show. While clips were used in the process, hairstylists were able to create the stick-straight look minus any indentations by adding tissue between the hair and the clip before the clips were removed.
