Individuality reigned supreme at Marc Jacobs, where each model was given a distinct look. “We’ve taken individualism to an extreme,” said Redken global creative director Guido Palau, who worked closely with makeup artist Pat McGrath to construct 60 unique looks that drew upon styles from the Seventies, Eighties and current times, as well as each model’s personality. — Alexa Tietjen
Hair at Christian Cowan was inspired by the “coolness” of the Nineties, particularly David Bowie, said lead hairstylist Laurent Philippon with Bumble and bumble. “The sides are slicked, but I’m gonna break it up in the lineup just before they come out,” he said. — Alexa Tietjen
At LaQuan Smith, hair was all about looking freshly wet. Hairstylist Yuko Tamura applied half wigs to models, using a variety of products from Cantu to elongate curls, lay edges and flyaways and reduce frizz. — Alexa Tietjen
“She has her head wrapped because she’s Muslim, we have corn rows, we have guys with long hair…then girls with really short boyish haircuts,” said Orlando Pita, who led hair at Michael Kors. Several models sported deep side parts with hair covering one eye, and the other side tucked behind the ear with a bobbi pin. Hair was left with its natural texture. “We told them to sleep with their hair damp last night — that starts to put a wrinkle in your hair. It’s kind of like a modern take on Veronica Lake.” — Allison Collins
Hair at Vaquera included cropped and choppy wigs mixed with three particular looks: a “b—-y, uptown girl with a high bump in the middle,” a “sleezy, gel, wet-down look,” and the “Queen of Hearts” style, said hair lead Jawara, who used Dyson hairdryers and products from Mr. Smith. — Alexa Tietjen

“The original reference was the movie Subway which is an Eighties movie from France, and the main guy was Eric Serra and he had this kind of shock of blonde hair — like peroxide blonde hair — almost like a home job, bleach job, but new-wave punk,” said Duffy, who led hair. Everyone was loaded up with mousse, which he noted gives the hair a matte quality. The women were either left natural or crimped into centered small messy buns along the center of the head, almost like a mohawk. “It’s Tom’s new-wave girl,” Duffy said. — Allison Collins
“Sandy really wanted it to have this bow vibe to it, so bow vibe it is. It’s kind of Sharon Tate’s wedding photos that she was inspired by, so with that we just got some silk yarn…we also have barrettes we’re using as well,” said Dennis Lanni, who led hair for Oribe. “The whole vibe is like ’67, ’68 hair.” Bows were tied throughout the hair, which was given texture with alcohol-based Oribe texture products, Lanni said. — Allison Collins
Lead hairstylist Jon Reyman for Dyson created five hairstyles for the Pyer Moss show, drawing inspiration from the Forties, Sixties, Seventies and Nineties. While some models donned wigs, beaded braids and side ponytails, Reyman worked with other models’ natural hair texture, using Aveda products for further definition. “Either we’re stretching that curl out a little bit or we’re compacting it and defining it,” he said. “Depending on the model, based on face and hair type, we’re messing around.” — Alexa Tietjen
“The collection is inspired by early Eighties Isaac Mizrahi, Saint Laurent, very chic salon shows of the early Eighties.This season is exceptionally beautiful, so what we wanted to dois take eight girls and give them strict, masculine, graphic hair,” said Duffy, who keyed hair. That look included a deep side part, black leave-in color mousse, with hair pulled into a low knot into the back. The rest of the models had “polished” hair — blow outs, center parts, but still with life. “It’s just good quality hair, but very simple,” Duffy said. — Allison Collins
Laurent Philippon for Bumble and bumble created multiple hair looks for Jonathan Cohen on Sunday. The standout was a low ponytail braid, woven with fabric, and sometimes hair extensions. “We’re doing a very large braid in the back, sometimes we’re helping it with a little bit of extra hair, and we’re mixing fabrics that Jonathan picked. He’s designing his own fabric; in this collection he wants to celebrate where he’s from, from Mexico, and it does remind you of Freda Kahlo’s kind of hairstyles… it’s a little bit that vibe,” Philippon said. — Allison Collins
“Overall it’s very summery, quite a strong woman,” said Laurent Philippon, who led hair for Bumble and bumble. There were several looks — one was slicked away from the face and dried with the Dyson into place, though the hair was still meant to look wet. “I’m leaving it kind of crispy, so it’s not dry looking,” he added. Five models had fresh flowers sculpted on top of their heads. — Allison Collins
Hairstylist Justine Marjan used TRESemmé products and GHD tools to craft a combination of looks for Chromat’s 10-year anniversary show. “Some of the girls are getting a high pony, some are getting a bang, some are wearing curls, some are having finger waves, some are doing bubble ponies,” she said of the various styles. “We’re all over the place.” — Alexa Tietjen
At Tibi, Frank Rizzieri used Aveda products to create a partially slicked-back look that highlighted the models’ natural hair textures. “It had to do a lot with the fabrics that Amy’s using. Some were matte and some were shiny and she wanted that reflected into the hair,” he said. — Alexa Tietjen
Guido Palau for Redken couldn’t find the hair combs he wanted to create the Eighties English Lady vibe he was going for, so he spray-painted plain ones himself. “I couldn’t believe I couldn’t find them, I thought they’d be everywhere,” Palau said. — Ellen Thomas

The colorful wigs at Jeremy Scott took three days to dye, according to a member of the Wella team that was overseeing hair.”We look at a lot of Japan animation, manga, a little kind of goth culture — it’s all kind of mixed in there really,” hairstylist Eugene Souleiman said. “What’s nice about Jeremy, is that it’s always a show. There’s always something to look at; we just want to have some fun, and I feel like that’s what Jeremy does really well.…People that buy his clothes, they’re more like fans.” — Allison Collins

It took a lot of hairspray and a lot of blow drying to create the "very clean, long braid," Gilbert said.

!["The look today is very AmericanaÉsomething kind of Montauk, [a] Cape Cod woman," said Bob Recine, who keyed hair for Redken. Models had straight hair that was bent using giant rollers and left down, with a slight bend. "It's not something that's a straight, deadÉstraight hair, fluffy, not greasy, not heavy, not over styled and the key here is we're looking for the look of confidence, that's the styling tool we're looking for."

“It’s the wet look — kind of, ish,” said Shingo for Christophe Robin of the hair at Baja East. Shingo used a mix of Robin’s Daily Hair Cream with Sandalwood and Instant Volumizing Mist with Rose Water to give shape (and a wet-ish) look to hair. — Ellen Thomas
Hair at Rui Zhou was inspired by the emotional ebbs and flows of long-distance relationships, said lead artist Rachel Lee. “Some of the hair’s half-done, as if they weren’t expecting to see the person,” she said. “A lot of elements of water, a little bit of anime creatures, the fantasy that you try to present, especially in a long distance relationship.” – Alexa Tietjen
