This trim reminds me of that post-summer time when you are over being safe. The type where you want to say something, power, passion, whatever you have been stewing all summer. This is the hair that will give you a shake up when you feel stagnant.
Request your stylist to do interior layers and some point-cutting. Positioning is everything a haircut such as this can lengthen your neck and raise your cheekbones when positioned properly.
Ginger Vanilla 90s Glam
It is the supermodel blowout that is back and feels so right this fall. This style is the embodiment of the retro style with brushed out caramel and vanilla waves. It is soft, it is luxe and those creamy highlights right along the face frame are working hard.
I remind my readers all the time: money-piece highlights are not disappearing; they are simply changing. In this case, the contrast is not so sharp; it is fused into the warm base to create a more natural grown-in effect. Ideal to those who prefer light but not commitment.
To get this voluminous texture without the frizz, I have been loving IGK Good Behavior Blowout Balm. Bonus: it smells heavenly and leaves that springy fresh out of the salon look. This cut is great to add body to finer hair without eliminating movement, just request blended face-framing layers and soft texture to the ends.
This type of color also looks good through October as well, it just flows into darker lips and warmer materials. Just wear it with a chunky knit and you are ready to go.
Wispy Bangs Textured Copper Bob
This is to all the fall girls that want to have that little bit of edge but still want that easy cool. The coppery orange hue is perfectly aligned with the season — like your hair is matching the leaves (without being too literal). The shaggy bob and piecey fringe update the cut to 2025, but still tip the hat to the French girl style we will never tire of.
Naturally wavy or fine hair is a perfect match to this haircut, and you have to be tired of flat and uniform haircuts. I would suggest a diffuser and a little Davines Curl Building Serum to enhance the bend and volume without overstyling.
I personally think this cut is very liberating. It is a take away type of style but yet it looks like you tried. A couple of flyaways? Even better. You do not have to iron it out and you can embrace the undone texture that makes it low maintenance in real life fall.
As pro stylists such as Kristin Ess have been telling us over the last few months, movement is everything at the moment, and this look demonstrates just that.
Power Bob in Smoky Blonde Highlights
This one reads: I am booked, busy and I still have time to wear a bold red lip. The layered bob and the slight root shadowing and the ends that are raised are right in that sweet spot of power and polish. The blonde is soft, not cold, and that is the transition that we are experiencing this fall as more individuals embrace warmth and richness.
To style, you should have a round brush or large hot rollers to bump the ends under a little. The product I always reach to when it comes to this type of shape is Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray, a little bit goes a long way and the finish is beyond glossy. You can slick it to the side or middle, according to your mood, and it still gives main character energy.
I adore the fact that this is so wearable on all face shapes. This is the bob to get if you are in the mood to have something short but not too short. It frames and does not box you in.
Combine it with gold jewelry, a little makeup, and a latte in your hand. Instant upgrade.
Espresso Dimension Layered Chestnut Bob
Smooth, toasty, and quietly luxurious, this multidimensional chocolate bob with espresso lowlights is fall in hair form. It is one of those haircuts that do not make an effort to look good but they always do. The side-swept bang makes the face softer, and the fine layering of the cut makes the cut move and polished.
Such a color combination is ideal to brunettes who want to darken their color but not turn into black or red. The dimension is what makes it rich: consider low-maintenance elegance. I would apply Virtue Recovery Conditioner once a week to maintain the hair strong and hydrated, particularly when you are heat styling.
This style is very much office to dinner date, it works so well in between. And it looks so flattering on so many skin tones, particularly warm or neutral undertones.
One tip? Don’t over-layer. This simplicity is the power of this look.
Polished Flip Sleek Layers
I think there is something about these classic, cascading layers that just works in fall. It is just short of the shoulders, not too long, not too short, and those softly flipped ends? They fit the face as though they were made to measure. The highlights are a combination of cool honey and golden bronde that shouts healthy, shiny, and I have my life together.
The correct blow-dry is what makes this haircut high-gloss and smooth. A round brush, a little tension and a spritz of the Color Wow Dream Coat will fix that glassy finish. When your hair has a tendency to go limp, a root lifter such as Living Proof Full Root Lift revives it without making it heavy.
On a personal level, this type of cut makes me think of that time in September when your wardrobe is both summer and fall at the same time, linen pants and a leather jacket. It is versatile, classic and in case you have been growing your hair out a bit, it is a simple update without a severe cut.
It is simply a style that is so elegant and suits perfectly with crisp mornings and high essentials.
Cropped & Curly in Cinnamon Brown
When you are prepared to flaunt your cheekbones and leave your curls to do all the talking, this is it. This short cut is very dynamic, characterized by short layers and gently disheveled volume. The deep cinnamon brown tone is the perfect amount of warmth, and it is ideal with the richer colors of fall wardrobes, all the taupes, olives, and greys suddenly stand out against it.
At this length, curls require moisture, and that is that. I suggest Pattern Beauty Curl Gel: it defines but not stiff and makes hair soft enough to tousle. The satin pillowcase will become your nighttime ally so that the texture does not frizz up.
I’ve seen stylists like Ursula Stephen (who’s worked with Rihanna!) talk about how pixies with curl are one of the most underestimated power moves. There is nothing to hide behind in this haircut, it is confident, bold, and yet soft in the right places.
