In excellent news for over-sleepers everywhere, 2017 is poised to be the year of natural-looking hair. "Fashion is all over the place right now but one thing in common is there are lots of prints and colors," says Marie Robinson, owner of the Marie Robison salon in New York City. "Hair usually balances that by being more subdued, natural, and softer in both texture and color." Similarly, Erica Liang, colorist at Frédéric Fekkai 5th Avenue, predicts plenty of dark (aka easy to maintain) shades of brown, and rooty blonde hues that are inherently low-maintenance. Here, plenty of inspiration for the hair appointment you'll want to book in the New Year.
Bronde

"This is super low-maintenance and falls into the category of 'bronde,' which works on most people." </p>](https://cdn.statically.io/img/hips.hearstapps.com/ell.h-cdn.co/assets/16/51/gettyimages-601053118_master.jpg?crop=1.0xw:1xh;center "Bronde")
"Grown-in hair color [will be] a big trend," says Nicole Tresch, colorist at Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. "This is super low-maintenance and falls into the category of 'bronde,' which works on most people."
Bronde
"These are not like the once-bad ombrés with such stark and severe demarcation lines, but a blonde that maintains depth, dimension, contrast, and has ends that gradually get lighter towards the bottom," says Tresch.
Ultra-Dark Brown
Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner gave even the most devoted blondes a reason to go dark in 2017.
Ultra-Dark Brown
"The chocolate brunette is going to be really in," says Liang. "It brings out a lot of shine in the hair. This is not black, but dark, dark brown."
Long with Blunt Bangs
Texture counts with this style. "It should have a natural quality," says Robinson.

If your hair doesn't have a natural wave, Robinson suggests scrunching it with product to give it a boost.
Full Curls
Tons of celebrities chose to go natural in 2016, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down, according to Sonia Amor, stylist at Frédéric Fekkai 5th Avenue.

For the red carpet, celebrities favored a slightly brushed-out look that gives gorgeous volume.
Messy Medium-Length
Shorter loose or natural waves will make their mark in 2017, according to Sun Ju Hirsch, stylist at Rita Hazan Salon in New York City.
Messy Medium-Length
"This look is super chic and feels fresh," says Hirsch. Plus, it doesn't require a whole lot of effort if your hair is wavy when you roll out of bed.
Deep Side Part
This works with any style, but Robinson sees the deep side part being particularly big paired with shorter lengths.

A little smoothing is okay, but the less structured the better. Robinson is a fan of letting hair do its thing.
