Low-Key Boho Half-Up with Autumn Energy
This adaptation on the half up bun is looser, flowier and is definitely giving major earthy-girl-in-the-woods vibes. The hair is natural and the strands are soft, relaxed and a bit uneven as it flows in loose waves that are undone in a good way. It is the easiest style and it gives soft romantic feel to long hair, and it looks so good on a layered, comfortable outfit, particularly with textured knits.
No full styling process is required unless you really want one, to be fully honest, a salt spray, such as Ouai Wave Spray, sprayed onto hair that has still been drying can add the right type of touch of definition. If your ends get dry, rub a little oil (like Verb Ghost Oil) between your palms and gently smooth the lengths.
This is a look that I pull out whenever I feel like getting a little bit prettied up, but still want to appear casual. It looks particularly beautiful in fall sunshine, in gold – those things reflect the lightning and simply glitter. It is also effective when your hair is in the process of suffering due to the summertime and you are not in the mood to use the heat tools.
I have observed such styles in such influencers as fall book hauls or styles within capsule wardrobes. it is simply poetic in hair of this kind, and it is not dramatical in the least, but it is present.
Side Braid Crown for a Modern-Day Muse
This variation of the crown braid is both luxurious and keeps the image away from princess. The hairline is curved by a single thick braid that is clipped into medium length hair, or short hair that has been softly curled to add up the volume. It is fabulous on straight hair to use as a base because it provides the crown to give body before the waves are applied. The result? Instant chic.
To keep this braid in place, you’ll want a strong-yet-flexible paste — Kristin Ess Hair Styling Pomade is lightweight and tames flyaways, which is perfect if you’re working with thin hair or finer strands. End by taking finishing on low-hold spray to make soft the curls.
This style never fails to make me a bit more classy. It is perfect on more fancy fall occasions, like brunching, art district sightseeing, and dating. The curvy look of the braid on the forehead also makes it add depth particularly when wearing chunky sweaters or neck scarves. That balance between boho and sharp? It’s everything.
And, well, it is a very good cheat to get through the stage of growing out your bangs. It makes the transition so soft by pulling them into the braid.
Double Buns, But Make It Grown-Up
Double buns are no longer the quite-special buns of the festivals or the tweens having gone TikTok, but they can be quite stylish, cheeky, and most surprisingly, versatile in cases done right. This refined variant signifies the face in framing it with soft curtain bangs, which, in their turn, are on high, balanced, somewhat coquettishly. This style is very much flitting on medium length or even long hair and it brings structure without much effort.
Spray that freshly-washed hair that is too soft to maintain any shape, with Drybar Triple Sec 3-in-1 just to get a little texture to create some volume. Next curl and pin each section twisting under the pins– there is no need to curl all up, you can leave some tendrils out to make it soft.
Personally, I’ve worn this look to both yoga and dinner (not on the same day, though I could have). And it amazes me just how wearable it is and it can be turned down or up, depending on your earrings, makeup and mood. It also conceals nicely that creepy texture in the back of your head that you get after you slept funny.
Plus, who doesn’t love a little symmetry in life? These buns give balance — and bounce.
Messy Buns with an Edge
This variant of the trend in the double buns is more street-like, casual, and grunge. When combined with choppy bangs and carelessly hanging strands that land juuust right, it is a dream with thick hair and an added contrast to soft makeup or a leather jacket. It is one of these fast, simple fall hairstyles that are both purposeful yet at the same time, are completely laid back.
If your hair is normally thick or curly, you basically do not have to even brush it, in fact, that is exactly the kind of texture it needs to have, this style. To get an even better hold, add a dab of Batiste Volumizing Dry Shampoo to roots and the crown and then style.
I put on this look and immediately I feel like myself. Its got that non-trying-to-be cool-girl vibe and it keeps all its shape intact after a full day of shopping or crafting. It fits perfectly on days when you are embracing black layers and boots.
I believe this is one of the easiest fall hair styles that is not given the importance it deserves, this look is very expressive, can be moulded as per your wish and it looks stunning no matter the angle. You may not be surprised when strangers compliment you on it during produce department.
Ginger Spice Vibes for Medium Waves
This is medium length so it is not too long and not too short, long enough to run your fingers through it and comb it through by holding the ends. This is a copper color and this is also one of the autumnal hair colors like you see in a sweater. The slight wavy locks add life and action, with the messy volume, it does not seem too worked out. This was a soft red that you can wear, versus the bright red color that can be intimidating.
I need to use DpHue Gloss+ in Copper weekly to keep the color fresh and deep and to prevent the graying of my color. It does not damage color-treated hair and it leaves a salon-type finish at home.
The look gives me the power of feeling the most natural. It’s not flashy, just deeply confident. And yep, it goes so well with the leather or suede jackets. You will feel that you are the film star in your own independent film.
According to Matt Rez, a softer red, like this may be popular in 2025 as they bring dimension to any skin tones and create visual depth to an individual without being high-maintenance. I can confirm — it’s glow-in-a-cut realness.
Layered Braids for Days You Need to Focus
This is the kind of style that multitasks. It is not the only protective braids these long hair braids are artistic. The plaits of mixed thickness bring extra details and texture and are used to keep all the strands under control. Long, heavy hair can be cumbersome when it comes to grooming, and that is where this hair style comes in rescue, this is one of the easy five-minute fall hairstyles that will keep you sour-focused and photo-worthy throughout the day.
To make the braid process go more smoothly, I always start with Mizani 25 Miracle Milk Leave-In Conditioner on the lengths, which goes on easily to detangle, moisturize and hold strands in place so they donb held on braid things. When you are doing your wet or even damp braid, then this is even better as your hair gives out that clean effect and it holds longer.
This is a fashion that I wear during times when I need to feel confident and put together where I cannot be distracted. I don t even think twice about this braid combination in my workdays, errands, rainy Sunday resets.
Also: they can help your hair grow out layers, or are protective as you feel that end-of-summer shift in the texture of your hair. Win-win.
