There’s something about fall—the cool air, the cozy sweaters, the “new season, new me” energy—that makes you want to switch things up. Ever had that slight urge to cut it all off or go a bit bolder with the leaves changing? I’ve been there. And, to be honest, the perfect fall haircut on plus size women is not about covering something up, it is about highlighting what makes you feel most like you. No matter what your style is, edgy layers, soft waves, or chic simplicity, there is a haircut that can help to bring your entire vibe into perspective. Let’s go cut by cut and style by style—starting with five head-turning looks that are total game-changers this fall.
Layered Rose Pixie With Flowy Texture
This pixie with a cotton-candy hue is a delicate but bold look that is whimsical and earthy at the same time. The pixie cut is short and is softly carved with rounded layers that follow the crown and cheekbones, adding volume without dominating the face. The bangs are brushed over the forehead in a watercolor stroke, which is ideal on a round or oval face that is seeking something cute but not too casual. This appearance is an easy winner of the title of one of the most daring and at the same time wearable fall haircut plus size women can sport at the moment.
To preserve the softness and not to make the color fade, I would suggest the Evo Fabuloso Pro Color Refreshing Treatment in Pink- it helps pastels not to turn into a dull shade, and it makes self-care once a week a salon experience. A little dry texturizing spray (like Amika Un.Done Volume & Matte) will go a long way to maintain that weightless lift.
What I love about this cut is that it challenges the old, outdated idea that pixie cuts aren’t for full faces. In fact, when applied purposefully and with volume and movement, it balances and opens up the face so beautifully.
Occasionally, a splash of unusual color is the thing that makes you walk differently, more confidently. And is not that sort of magic what we want of a haircut?
Classic Jet Black Bob With Clean Angles
Straight, smooth, and strong- this bob haircut on plus size women is a demonstration that less is everything. The short cut is jaw length with a deep part to one side, slightly shaping the cheeks and neckline and the ends are snug against the jaw with a sharp confidence. There’s something incredibly modern about this look, yet it’s totally timeless too.
I can never get enough of the Color Wow Dream Coat spray to keep that shine and structure locked in, it is humidity-proof, and gives that editorial shine you see in ads. In addition, weekly smoothing masks such as Olaplex No. 8 are a miracle to keep the strands mirror-shiny and smooth to the touch.
As an individual, I believe that every woman must experience a bob in her lifetime. It’s fierce. It’s low-maintenance. And on plus size faces, particularly those with soft jawlines or full cheeks, it makes everything come into focus perfectly.
When you need to feel like a CEO without putting much effort, this cut is essential.
Beachy Lob With Shadowed Roots
Soft and undone, this long bob (aka lob) is the definition of effortless chic. The messy, shoulder length waves provide that beachy texture we all desire and the darker roots provide dimension and depth that lengthens the face. It is one of those cuts that can be air-dried or curled with a curling wand and it will always look good.
This style shines when paired with a sea salt mist (think: Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray) or the Kristin Ess Dry Texture Spray for second-day body. That deliberate shadowed base can also be preserved between color appointments using root-touch-up powders or gloss treatments.
From a style standpoint, this cut is super flexible. I have had versions of this on me years and years and it never gets old. It gives face-framing softness without feeling too “done,” and for medium length haircut for plus size women, it’s probably the most flattering shape of them all.
It’s cozy sweater season—don’t you want hair that feels like it can flow with the wind and still look good?
Warm Chestnut Long Layers for Easy Glam
This is the long haircut of plus size women in case you are not willing to cut it all off. The chestnut brown and silk lengths are immediately goddess-like, and the light layering keeps it sleek and easy. This style glows with side sections and soft waves or worn stick-straight with a center section to achieve that minimalism of the It girl.
The light serum that I suggest here is to avoid frizz, and Moroccanoil Treatment is still a cult classic, and a paddle brush with boar bristles to distribute oils and add softness.
To be honest, this type of long length cut was something that scared me. However, it happens that long hair is not a burden, on the contrary, with the correct layers, it leaves you free to make a bun, a ponytail, or wear it loose and shiny.
And we must remember, long hair is sexy, feminine, and it is simply fun to flip.
Defined Ringlets for Curly Queens
This beautiful head of structured curls is an ode to natural curls. The volume, bounce and shape are just right to enhance the round and oval faces, and this is a sure way of proving that short curly styles are not boring at all. The secret to the success of this work is the light layering around the face, which makes it look lifted, but the overall length remains rounded and balanced.
This is certainly a style that loves moisture and form. The DevaCurl SuperCream will give you curl definition without crunch, or Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Gel in a breezy place. A diffuser is your best friend here.
Being a girl who has always been jealous of curly girls, I believe that this style has the confidence that can not be matched. It’s joyful. It’s energetic. It is also perfect for fall, as it goes so well with big knits and coffee dates.
Fall curls? Yes, always. Let them bounce and be seen.
Medium Defined Coils With Natural Volume
This is a very voluminous medium length curly style that is the ideal of softness and structure. The face is framed with the tight coils which are very beautiful and create the balance and elegance and still have the natural movement and body. It is a cut that understands how to party texture without attempting to dominate it. It is cleverly long, just above the chest, to give the whole shape a lift visually. This is the haircut that is low effort, high reward to anyone who wants to get a haircut on a plus size woman.
Maintaining coils juicy and defined requires a small amount of dedication- it is worth it. I would recommend the Mielle Organics Pomegranate & Honey Coil Sculpting Custard. It delivers hold without crunch and hydration without heaviness. Deep conditioning once a week with the Intensive Hydration Mask by SheaMoisture will also help prevent the dryness of the fall, as well.
I’ve always admired the kind of confidence that radiates from curls like these. They are alive, textural, energetic- and to be honest they do not have to be perfect to be powerful. That’s the beauty of it.
Textured Bob With Piecey Layers
In case you are in the mood of cool-girl allure that is utterly uncontrived, this plus size women bob haircut will be your language. The haircut is a bit below the chin, with lots of piecey layers to make it look lived in and wearable. The tousled and matte finish exudes that I woke up like this vibe that is just so perfect in the cool fall weather.
There is no need to worry about perfection, this one loves dry styling. I apply the Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Texturizing Dry Shampoo to provide it body and style in between shampoos. It also has a mini curling wand that can re-bend the ends in two minutes flat in case of need.
I believe this is one of the best cuts in haircut women round face plus size since it does not lie flat and pull the face down. Instead, it creates movement and opens everything up.
