Redken stylist Guido Palau was leading the team backstage at Alexander Wang this year -- and after last season's iconic side braid, he knew everyone would be watching his next move. Palau and Wang decided to go for a take on the tomboyish look, with an exaggerated low side part for the Fall/Winter 2010 show.


Bess F/W 2010 Beauty Coverage

In Palau's words, "It's a sweep, cool, edgy thing" that gives the girls an easy look. The style takes about an entire bottle of hairspray, so it's more fitting for the runway than for everyday wear, but you can easily alter the process to fit a more realistic lifestyle. Here's how:

To Get the Runway Look:

Step 1: First, give the hair a deep, exaggerated part.

Step 2: With the ears showing, coat hair with Workforce 09 hairspray. Next, use a hair dryer (Sultra Sophisticate) to give the spray a firm hold.



To get the look off the runway, mimic the same deep side part, but use much less hairspray!

Once upon a time, ladies were expected to be June Cleaver types; 50s housewives vacuuming in pearls, caring for the kids, and baking apple pies -- all while remaining impeccably dressed with a constant smile plastered on their faces. Thank goodness that's over with! Now women are free to hire maids to vacuum, buy pre-made apple pies, and live without the support of a man. But while we ladies may be as independent as ever, some of us still enjoy having relationships. We just don't want to get stuck in a June Cleaver situation, and we shudder equally at the thought of becoming a Miss Havisham. We have good news -- your fate doesn't have to lie in one of these two extremes. The key to finding the balance between these two roles is a little thing we like to call compromise.

As far as we're concerned, a relationship without compromise is not one worth having. After all, it takes two to tango. But while the

How many times a day do you find yourself wanting to pull your hair out just thinking about your busy schedule? As our schedules become more and more jam packed every day, it becomes harder to keep our cool when faced with stress. This is especially true if you're going to be frantically running around town in the next few days for New York Fashion Week -- like us. We suggest that you make "stress" a four-letter word -- don't even say it or think about it! We've compiled ten useful techniques to help you eliminate stress from your vocabulary once and for all.

1. Invest in Lavender Products
It's a widely held belief that the scent of lavender can have real calming effects. Lucky for us, there are countless lavender scented products to choose from. Try lighting a lavender candle while you're getting ready in the morning to calm your nerves for the day ahead. We like Yankee Candle's lemon lavender scent best. We

One of the most awkward things about Fashion Week is sauntering up to your seat at a show only to find that your goodie bag has been swiped by the girl sitting two seats down from you. There's always that uncomfortable moment when you make eye contact with her, clearly expressing the "I know that you did!" glare. Immediately thereafter, she'll start staring very intently at her BlackBerry, unnecessarily scrolling her trackball up and down like a maniac.

Breaking News! British Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen Commits Suicide

My longwinded point is this: because not all of us get Fashion Week goodie bags or even have the opportunity to steal someone else's (which I'm not condoning), StyleCaster teamed up with DJ and producer Mick Boogie to give everyone a little Fashion Week gift of their own!
