Celebrity and editorial hairstylist, Monaè Everett, debuted an all new-collection at this year’s America’s Beauty Show, what she called, “Structured Texture: Runway Shapes, Real-World Textures.”
Everett, who served as the ABS 2026 Spokesperson, tells The Tease, “I debuted this collection to show that textured styling is not one technique or one finish. It is a system of moisture, structure, shape, and artistry — built to move from the salon to the stage, the camera, and the client who wants something unforgettable.” Each of the five looks were created using exclusively Design Essentials products.
She continues, “This collection is my love letter to textured hair and to the stylists who want to serve it with more intention. I wanted to show that structure does not take away from texture. When done well, structure helps texture hold its shape, tell a stronger story, and photograph beautifully.”

The Curl Frame
“I created this look to show how a twist-out becomes editorial when the shape is built with intention. By keeping the center twisted and expanding the ends, the style frames the face and neck while keeping texture visible, soft, and structured” — Monaè Everett.
The Circular Form
“I created this style to show off the hair’s natural texture while building a strong sculptural silhouette.. The braided loops along the hairline add an editorial spin on edge art, while the silhouette keeps the texture bold, sculptural, and intentional” — Monaè Everett.
The Soft Square Frame
“I created this look to show how a silk press can still have movement, volume, and softness. The goal was a polished finish that feels light, touchable, and camera-ready — not stiff or weighed down” — Monaè Everett.
The Soft Rectangular Half-Up
“I created this look to show how a silk press foundation can be transformed into a soft, voluminous half-up style. The shape adds fullness and length while keeping the finish polished, romantic, and camera-ready” — Monaè Everett.
The Triangular Coil Structure
“I created this style to show how coily texture can support height, drama, and an intentionally asymmetrical shape. The braided loops at the hairline add detail, while the added coily texture builds a bold triangular structure with strong editorial impact” — Monaè Everett.
