Soft Twist Crown with Loose Waves
There is just something so romantic about a half up style with a twist that can keep your long hair down and out of the way at the same time. These curled parts on the crown are a soft way to frame the face and also to add interest to the top without taking all the texture out. The medium-length or long hair is a perfect option to go with, and wavy hair texture is a style worth embracing this fall.
Aspiring to style thick hair? While you should still use a heat protectant to keep it healthy, I would suggest the application of a nourishing heat protect oil or serum known as the Olaplex No.9 Bond Protector that gives hair shine, but never weight. It goes with a very large barrel curling iron to give you those soft, brushed-out waves.
This is the transition when I don not want to be too serious or obliged to wear a whole style but need to be taken seriously at the same time. The twisted strands give off cozy “fireplace-side” energy, while the cascading waves feel effortless. It is casual yet done-up just enough.
Added bonus: the twists make any awkward length in your crown disappear, in case you have bangs that are in between lengths, or you are in the middle of part transition. Honestly, I’m obsessed.
Ribbon Braids That Say “Cute, But I Mean Business”
This aesthetic is a direct trip into storybook-chic land, yet, do not fall into the trap, this is practical too. The two-strand the braid and a thin ribbon clip holds long hair in place and the gentle texture gives it an adorable image at its very best. It is a dream come true to anyone who is looking towards getting great simple fall hairstyles which are ideal in children, school or even just brunching with your girls.
In case you desire that gentle curl at the bottom, you may braid it the night before or a flat iron to have that sweet bend. I will always recommend that you layer in a soft-hold mousse, such as the Not Your Mother Curl Talk Mousse, to add texture but not make it stiff. This is a handy tool to utilize even when you have thin or medium hair.
This style can even be layered under beanies or headbands, so it becomes an MVP even during the colder days without notice. and the prettiness of that dotted bow, can we speak of, too? Change it to velvet, satin or even plaid depending on the moods.
This is my favorite (and an especially useful product) when I cannot be bothered to well, wash my hair at all but still feel like putting countenance on. And when the bow matches your sweater? Chef’s kiss.
Fantasy Weave Ponytail for Statement Days
The braided weave into a ponytail is to the skies (if you are bold (or rather, a quiet girl with a wild streak) then this is so damn artistic. The crown braid giveaway with curls here is the layered curly, which more or less resemble the appearance of a starburst, flowing directly to large, fluffy and voluminous waves. It can be one of those low-effort kind of fall hairstyles that looks spectacular and unconventional without being meticulous and fancy because, in the degree to which it is experimental, it is still wearable.
To hold it all, I would suggest applying Color Wow Style on Steroids Texturizing Spray on wet roots and then blow-drying them dry, it will give fine or thin hair the structure it needs to allow you to handle the parts without the sections jumping apart to braids the hair. You should also have a lightweight hairspray so that you can curl the locks and maintain bounce.
I personally have tried this look in concert outdoor paired with a chunky knit and a leather jacket and it was the ideal mix of playful, and fall friendly. Sure, it does consume a couple of minutes extra to do, but eventually, once it is done, it is done.
As celeb stylists such as Justine Marjan has shared, combos of braids into curly is the perfect solution to the changeable weather, when humidity is beginning to dissipate yet you still want some of the definition. And this one? It’s next-level stunning.
Short and Tousled with a Sweet Half-Knot
It is that ideal happy medium of both “I spent an hour styling” and “I woke up like this” and this half up knot with short hair, totally on softly curled pins, just gets it right. It looks particularly good on short length hair or medium hair making it look lived-in fall, with texture and shape. The half-knot is loosely drawn around and it is not tight so it is really perfect when you have a feeling of a sensitive scalp this season.
Here’s a tip: when you’re working with wavy hair or soft curls, avoid brushing post-style — instead, rake your fingers through gently to maintain volume and shape. And don your Subtle Piece-y shine by dabbing Ouai Matte Pomade through the ends. Just enough definition, no grease.
It is yet another of my favorites when I want to go out to get a coffee drink on a Sunday and feel cute in an effortless way. It balances nicely with oversized sweater or rather thick scarves but even with basic grey crewneck as seen in the ensemble above.
Whether you have been building dimension and spreading layers, or having a soft balayage experiment, the style highlights all the tones and hints of light in your hair. It’s casual — but calculated.
Double Crown Braid on Short Blonde Crop
Okay, this one’s pure fall joy. A wide old cut bob is given almost a new lease of life with the two tight crown braids running parallel to the forehead back and it is the sort of style that is sporty, smooth and just a bit of tongue in cheek too. A great short-hair style, this hairstyle is not about length to be hot. It is one of those real fast and simple fall hairstyles that will be absolutely new in 2025.
It is the most beautiful thing to wear to school or on a day of casual work or, as I would say the last cause of my spontaneous road trips when I rush into the car and have no chance to make something fussy. On hold and shine, I personally am fond of applying Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade only on the 1st few braids- particularly, in case you have got thick hair or flyaways.
The thing I love most about this style is that it is rather youthful when childish. It makes me think of that autumn naivete, the sort of energy you get during the first autumn, when you listen to your playlists of summer bangers, and suddenly realize that they do not feel as better as finally going home into your Day Glo blazer and your denim jacket.
And they you were searching the Internet on how to style your short hair length without heating or using the extensions, this braid period is the discovery. Besides, it does not blow out or do hat days. So good.
The Cozy Half-Bun That’s All About Balance
This face falls somewhere in the middle of that styled-but-not-styled, not-lazy-but-not-sloppy. The top half-bun is drawn into the air and exudes some attitude, but the rest of the waves remain fluffy and fondly petable. The face-framing layers with understated balayage highlights make such a flattering glow, and this is even more flattering once you have thick skin-grazing hair or at medium length. Its providing the vibe of, I am in a blanket scarf and sprinting to see you with hot cider.
In case your hair is prone to lying flat at the top, it helps to lift the roots using Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray prior to rolling into the bun as it will provide excellent hold but not a stiff one. You can even use a wide-tooth comb or simply your fingers in order to achieve that casual shape.
What I like about this style is that it can be worn in all the segments of the day. It gives me the extra bit of effort that I either need to wear cardigans on a day that I am going out on errands or simply have a last minute lunch date. Bonus: this is awesome to cover second-day hair or greasy hair roots.
And we can not leave out how adorable this is with a large coat or scarf the high up do is just peeking through perfectly without dying coverted under layers. It’s functional and photogenic.
