Backstage with Aveda at New York Fashion Week.

The Avdea Hairstyling team tended to the tresses at many of the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week shows over the last week. Check out this great video Aveda put together when they were backstage at Jason Wu.

Aveda also has a You Tube Channel where you can go and view all of their hair how-to's and more from backstage at New York Fashion Week.

Hair by Aveda at Christian Siriano.

Who doesn't love the adorable Christian Siriano from Project Runway?  He is so fun and in his own words "fierce", as are his designs.

Antoinette Beenders, Vice President Global Creative Director for Aveda, created the look for the show. 

This is a low, sleek ponytail adorned with a textured bouquet of waves; a play of smooth versus rough. Hair is sleek and groomed on each side of the head and through the ponytail, with a slightly rough, matte finish on top and elegant, textured waves pinned above the pony. The finished look is chic and contemporary with a bit of attitude.

Get the Look/Step-by-Step:

• Step 1: Create a deep side part. Draw a horseshoe-shaped section of hair along the top of the head, from each brow-line. Isolate this section of hair and pin in place with a single-pronged hair clip.

• Step 2: Pull the bottom half of hair into a ponytail and secure with a bungee elastic. Divide ponytail into sections with fingers and spray with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for workable hold.

• Step 3: Use a flat iron to straighten the ponytail section by section, creating a smooth, sleek finish.

• Step 4: Unclip the top section of hair and comb it back and over the ponytail. Sprinkle Aveda Pure Abundance™ Hair Potion and massage into hair to create volume and matte, rough texture.

• Step 5: Working with the same top section, divide hair into smaller pieces and spray with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray. Wrap each piece of hair around a ceramic Curl Rod, creating spirals, until the entire top section of hair has been curled.

• Step 6: Brush through spirals, loosening curls into soft waves. Loosely backcomb waves to create fullness, volume and texture, and shorten the length of hair.

• Step 7: Pin the sides and ends of wavy hair against the head, close to the base of the ponytail. Hair is sculpted into a voluminous, undulating chignon adorning the ponytail.

• Step 8: Work Aveda Light Elements™ Texturizing Creme into palms. Smooth hair along the sides of the head and above the ears to create a sleekness and shine.

• Step 9: Finish the look with Aveda Air Control™ Hair Spray for shine and hold.

Frederic Fekkai at Rag & Bone.

Earlier today, Frederic Fekkai Lead Stylist, Teddy Charles, tended to the tresses of the Rag & Bone models.  This is such a beautiful look that can easily be recreated with the how-to below.

The look was a bit rough and tousled, full of texture and volume.  After a few spritzes of Fekkai Tousled Wave Spray, he rolled hair to make it piecey.  He then wrapped and teased the hair into messy tendrils with Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray.  He completed the look with the Fekkai Au Natural Dry Shampoo to create a matte finish.
