31 Natural Hairstyle Ideas That Prove Spring Is (Almost) In The Air

Before you know it, spring will be here to breathe new life into everyone's hair routines, offering some much-needed relief (and much-needed moisture) from winter's icy wrath. With a change in the weather, you might find yourself resisting the urge to do something drastic with your mane — but don't fight the feeling. As far as natural hair ideas go, March is the perfect time to get ahead of the curve by brainstorming your next move and actually switching things up well before summer.

Whether that means a color change from dark to light, a sharp cut, a trending protective style that frees up more time, or all three — there's tons of options and room to get creative. "When talking about trends, I always say the same thing. I think [hair] is a way to express yourself," celebrity colorist Christophe Robin explains to The Zoe Report. "People want things that will suit them, enhance their features, and be very much part of their personality."

Aside from Robin, take it from a few of Hollywood's hottest celebs (like Laura Harrier, Beyoncé, and Kerry Washington) who constantly prove just how versatile natural hair truly is.
