One of our favorite hair looks at fashion week was the lovely rosette-braid combo at Rodarte. We were left speechless by this style, which somehow managed to be a little bit tough and a whole lot romantic at the same time. Although it looks like it would be impossible to recreate (hair origami, much?), fashion week hair pro Bethany Brill showed us how to translate the look. It's not only doable, it's downright weekday-morning material. Watch as R29's own Lauren puts the look to the test — simply gorgeous, no?

00:06Hi, I'm Lauren with Front Row 29.
00:09And I'm Bethany.
00:10Today we're going to make a rose out of hair.
00:12It's inspired by the latest Rodarte Runway Show, and it's easier than it looks.
00:16Take a portion of the front of your hair and braid, directing it away from your face.
00:22Braid about 3 quarters of the way down the hair, or about 4 inches, and tie with an elastic.
00:27Repeat on the other side.
00:29Don't worry if there's some pieces falling out.
00:32We want it to be loose and easy looking.
00:34Now with the remaining part of the braid, we're going to wrap it around a curling iron.
00:39This is the part of the hair we're going to make the rose out of.
00:42Do the same thing on the other side.
00:44Now we're going to attach the braids to each other at the back of the head.
00:49Use an elastic.
00:50Now we're going to make the rose.
00:52So with the two ends, we're going to coil them around our finger in the direction of the curl.
01:00This is going to give us a rose shape.
01:04Now we're going to spray the rose.
01:07We're using Kyrastos Double Force because it's pretty strong.
01:11Then we're going to take straight pins to secure the rose.
01:15So now directly below the rose, we're going to take a little section of hair and make one more braid.
01:22Finish this braid with another elastic.
01:25For the final step, we're going to go through and make it all loose and easy looking.
01:31So we're going to loosen the braids.
01:33We're going to pull down a couple pieces around the face.
01:36Just rough it up a little bit.
01:39It's a little edgy.
01:40It's a little boho like a rocker's girlfriend.
