Sure, the clothes are gorgeous and the makeup is fun, but New York Fashion Week is the ultimate for one thing: a major dose of hair inspiration.

From stunning styles to techniques we've never seen before, the stylists backstage never disappoint -- and Fall 2013 may go down as the best season ever for truly amazing hair.

While the hairstyles ranged from straight blowouts to elaborate braids, they all had one thing in common: They were high on pretty and low on fussy. Gone are the days of intentionally frizzy, wild, and wacky. "Right now, it's all about natural-looking hair ," says Tresemmé Celebrity Stylist Jeanie Syfu. "Even if I'm using a curling iron, I'm brushing it out to make the waves look less perfect." And since a non-perfect hairstyle is so much easier to achieve than some of the overdone looks of seasons past, this is good reason for all of us non-hairstylists to celebrate.
