Kerastase Lead Artist Odile Gilbert created the hairstyle for yesterday's SUNO S/S 2015 show... and it was all about braids! We've seen a quite a few braids this fashion season. From Marissa Webb to Mara Hoffman, the braids are coming in all shapes and sizes. For this show, Odile created a glossy cage herringbone braid look using products from Kerastase's iconic Couture Styling Collection. Step-by-Step breakdown below:

1. On dry hair, create a deep part using a tail comb
2. Starting at the roots, apply a generous amount of Forme Fatale to the top half of the hair for a voluminous, wet look
3. Comb hair back in an upwards wave on each side and secure with clips
4. Create a cage herringbone braid by parting the dry ends into three sections. Begin crossing the lengths over each other and underneath
5. Loosely deconstruct the braid for added volume and a lived in feel. Spray all over with Laque Noire for hold
6. Finish with Gloss Appeal for instant shine
