As the leaves start to turn and the temperatures drop, it’s time to switch up your hair game. Here are 10 fall hair trends to inspire your next salon visit:
1. Rich, Warm Hues
“Warm hair colors like copper, caramel, and honey are popular for fall,” says celebrity stylist Jen Atkin. “They add a touch of warmth to your skin and brighten up your complexion.”
2. Dimensional Brunettes
“Brunettes can add dimension to their hair with balayage or ombré,” says hairstylist Sally Hershberger. “These techniques create a natural-looking gradient of color that adds depth and interest.”
3. Edgy Bobs
“Bobs are a timeless trend, but they’re especially chic for fall,” says hairstylist Chris McMillan. “They can be styled in a variety of ways, from sleek and straight to messy and textured.”
4. Statement Layers
“Layers are a great way to add volume and movement to your hair,” says hairstylist Rita Hazan. “They can be customized to suit any face shape and hair type.”
5. Curtain Bangs
“Curtain bangs are a soft, feminine way to frame your face,” says hairstylist Kristin Ess. “They’re perfect for those who want to try bangs but don’t want to commit to a full fringe.”
6. Braided Styles
“Braids are a versatile way to style your hair for fall,” says hairstylist Braids by Jordan. “They can be worn in a variety of ways, from simple pigtails to intricate updos.”
7. Pixie Cuts
“Pixie cuts are a bold and stylish choice for fall,” says hairstylist Anthony Cristiano. “They’re perfect for those who want a low-maintenance haircut that’s still chic.”
8. Bold Accessories
“Hair accessories are a great way to add a touch of personality to your look,” says hairstylist Jen Atkin. “Try headbands, barrettes, or scarves to dress up your hair.”
9. Healthy Hair
“Fall is a great time to focus on hair health,” says hairstylist Sally Hershberger. “Get regular trims to get rid of split ends and deep condition your hair regularly to keep it hydrated.”
10. Hair extensions
“Hair extensions are a great way to add volume and length to your hair,” says hairstylist Chris McMillan. “They can be customized to match your natural hair color and texture.”
