13. The Butterfly Cut
This cut is all about layers. It creates beautiful face-framing pieces. Think soft, feathered edges. It’s perfect for adding movement and volume. I love how it flatters so many face shapes. My sister has a rounder face, and this cut made her features pop. It’s also great for various hair types. To get that extra oomph, try using a round brush while blow-drying. Roll the sections outward at the ends. This adds a lovely, bouncy finish. For more on cuts that add volume, check out our guide on haircuts for women over 60.
12. Chunky Highlights
Forget subtle balayage for a moment. Chunky highlights are back! They offer a dramatic contrast. You can go bold with thick streaks. Or, try a softer approach with just a few face-framing pieces. I recently saw a celeb with subtle, caramel-colored chunky highlights. It looked so chic. To keep them looking fresh, use a color-depositing conditioner between salon visits. This helps maintain the vibrancy. For more on color trends, see our fall hair color ideas.
11. Crimped Hair
Crimping is back, but with a twist. It’s not about full-head crimps anymore. Think of it as adding texture. You can crimp just a small section near your face. Or, try crimping the ends of your hair. It gives a cool, undone look. Always use a heat protectant spray before you start. This shields your hair from damage. I always do this before any heat styling. My hair thanks me for it.
