The Ultimate Guide To 2017 Hair Color Trends

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Dec. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Rodney Gentry, a top hair designer and color specialist is always at the forefront of the latest trends. For spring 2017, he recommends a range of looks, with a focus on outstanding color accented by perfect accessories. He comments:

"We've already seen color mixes celebrated by the use of balayage in 2016 and that trend is going to develop and really take hold in 2017. A blend of deep and light browns are going to be really big news for the spring season, with perhaps a hint of warm blonde thrown in as well. It's all about achieving fantastically natural graduation with the baylage technique."

Sombre hair, which emphasizes a soft connection between the two colors, will be big business in the year ahead, as will ombre hair, where the color connection is somewhat more pronounced, though still with a very feminine, flowing gradation.

Spring is also the time to let your hair down – natural, tumbling locks with a slight curl towards the end and around the face to soften it are the way to go. Length is everything as we head into 2017 – even the bobs are getting longer, according to Scottsdale color guru Rodney Gentry:

"There's a really feminine feel to the looks we're seeing on the catwalks as we enter 2017. Severe cuts and sharp outlines are no longer the way to go. Soft, long styles are definitely in, with bobs being cut longer this season. Even the shortest of styles should have a sleek, sensual feel to it – Michelle Williams at the Critics' Choice Awards is the perfect encapsulation of how to wear super short hair with grace in 2017."

The look carries across to up dos as well. The latest celebs to hit the red carpet with their tresses tied back have all opted for artfully escaped soft curls or long fringes that perfectly frame the face.

Color duos are set to be big in other ways in 2017 too. Standout streaks will be a big trend, with colors from ice cream pink to denim blue being used sparingly but to great effect. It's all about making a statement that is at once bold and subtle – something that takes a top color specialist to achieve without taking the use of color too far. Scottsdale's Rodney Gentry explains:

"The smallest of candy pink steaks can look incredible when done correctly and we're definitely going to see more experimentation with colors over the course of 2017. It's about achieving a balance that's really feminine and playful – a look that can impress in the office as well as looking stunning after hours."

To top it all off, accessories will be essential in 2017. The emphasis is again on feminine styles, with delicate clips and tiny, sparking gems adding a sense of glamour and style to the overall look.

Whether you're in need of a quick refresh to stay on trends or a complete style overhaul, 2017 is the year to make color your priority.
