Emma Roberts’s Smoky Quartz Hair Is 2017’s Latest Color Trend
Experimenting with hair color is hands-down the easiest way to liven up your look, but for the indecisive, there’s good news: 2017 is the year of the hybrid hue.
Case in point: Emma Roberts, who debuted a new hair color on Friday called smoky quartz — a deep brunette. On Instagram, the actress posted a photo of her new ‘do, captioning it, “#SmokyQuartz for my next movie.” Roberts’s new look was created by colorist Nikki Lee of Nine Zero One Salon in Los Angeles, who had also recently dyed her hair a blazing red, which she dubbed “cayenne spice.”

Smoky quartz isn’t just brown with better PR — Roberts’s hair almost seems to glisten. “It’s both sweet and sexy,” Jessica Sorrentino of Nine Zero One Salon tells Yahoo Beauty. “We turned her into her favorite crystal.”
Here’s a quick primer on the other color trends to expect in 2017.

Brond
Not quite blond, not quite brown, the color brond has been seen on Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, and Chrissy Teigen. While Lively is credited with starting the trend during the summer of 2015, she claims it was all an accident. “I just didn’t really feel like [dyeing] it,” she told Cosmopolitan in February. “I thought, I’m pregnant, I get to be selfish and not be vain, and I’m just gonna let my hair grow. And then I think people thought I was trying to do a thing with it [during] my first pregnancy. So I had, like, 5-inch roots and then blond hair. Everyone thought it was a choice. It was not a choice. They called it tortoise hair or something?”

Blorange
Blorange is rose gold’s sillier sister — warmer, brighter, peachier, and workable with any skin tone. Georgia Jagger was a blorange trailblazer, debuting the shade in October.

Eclipting
Think of “eclipting” as makeup contouring for your hair. Created by Aveda, it involves applying a base color, then strategically applying color to minimize or accentuate certain facial features. This is one hair color you shouldn’t try at home.
Tiger-eye
This beautiful balayage technique — seen on celebrities such as Jessica Alba — involves hand-painting bronze, gold, honey, and chocolate highlights. Despite the name, the effect isn’t stripy — it’s meant to replicate the gemstone, not the animal.

Denim hair
Faded but not washed out, denim blue is a natural extension of the gray hair trend, according to Refinery29. We’re used to seeing celebs with blue hair (Hi, Katy Perry!), but denim hair is paler, silvery, and surprisingly, subtler.
