After a stiletto-clad marathon across the world’s four fashion capitals, it’s time to take stock of the various trends spotted on the runway for the fall-winter 2017 season. Like for clothing and makeup, hairstyles had a mostly natural vibe at the latest fashion month.
Still, certain designers showed off more sophisticated creations, with glamorous, rock ‘n’ roll and eccentric styles.
The fall-winter 2017 season has several hair trends in store. The runway’s bright dye-jobs, plaits, ponytails, buns (and even double buns) were joined by a host of natural styles, worn loose and relaxed but still perfectly finished.
There are plenty of easy-to-replicate styles to try, for both daytime and evening looks.
Here’s a look at some of the hottest hair trends from the recent Fashion Month, which started February 9 and ran until March 7. JB
