Fall always brings that undeniable craving for reinvention. There is just something about fresh air and warm sweaters that makes us want to chop it all off or grow it out and color it a different color or finally give that short pixie that everyone has been posting about a go. However, when you are a full-figured beauty like myself, it can be an even more layered process to find the right haircut. Will it flatter my jawline? Is this shape going to balance my features? Should I go short or shoulder length? If you’ve asked yourself those questions, you’re in exactly the right place.
We’re not just talking trends here—we’re curating vibes. Scroll down and discover the cut that is you this fall.
Blended Waves with Sunlit Contrast
This appearance is in that ethereal region between light and darkness. The foundation is a neutral brunette of a long length, yet what makes it come to life is the light hand-painted highlights that outline the face and flow through the waves like a fall sunset dissolving into dusk. The relaxed, messy hair has just enough volume in all the right spots, and is particularly flattering on rounder face shapes, and exudes a casual sophistication with no drama whatsoever. The style is one of the best competitors of haircuts among the plus size women who desire length and structure.
To maintain this appearance bright and healthy, I would suggest using Olaplex No. 4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo once a week to maintain those cool blonde tones. Leave-in moisture cream, such as IGK Mistress, will help maintain the waves between washes to stay hydrated and soft.
I love this for its versatility. You may wear it parted in the middle to be symmetrical or flipped dramatically to one side when you want to be edgier. To be honest, it is the type of haircut that is not hard to do but still makes you feel expensive.
What’s even better? The style is very pretty on thicker hair, and it gives you a bit of movement, but it does not overpower your features. This is your cue, if you have hair density and you want a high-impact look that you can wear Monday through Sunday.
Layered Ginger Bob with Sliced Texture
This deep cinnamon copper bob may well be the subtle luxury solution to fall hair. It is textured and a bit messy with a rough-dry texture that makes it appear modern and airy. It is cropped above the shoulders and is not too short hence it still frames the face softly which is great on plus size women haircuts round faces medium length styles that do not want to feel harsh or blunt.
If you’re going red this season, a color-protecting routine is non-negotiable. I prefer Pureology Hydrate line as it seals color and it smells wonderful. The shape is kept and is not frizzy using a wide toothed comb.
This cut is my obsession as it is a perfect balance. It is a bit rebellious, extremely flattering and the layers provide lift without bulk. It is particularly suitable to the people who desire medium haircuts on women plus size that is not too loud.
Hot tip from celeb stylist Chris Appleton? Put mousse on the roots and dry upside down. It gives volume and hold without stiffness.
Smoky Layers with Money-Piece Brightening
This one is a softer take on the classic long bob of the early 2000s, but it just grazes the collarbones, which is ideal shoulder length. It is long, feathery and has a buttery medium length balayage with daring, bright money-pieces. It is a style that acts as contouring to your hair, drawing the focus upwards with volume at the crown and ends.
It is not a wash and go style, yet it does not need daily hot tools either. Hair should be blow-dried on a round brush to get volume and shape and make the ends fresh again on the second or third days using a curling iron with a big barrel.
It is a classic haircut style that is done on plus size women due to the way it is sculpted without appearing to be too much. I feel like I have my life together when I wear this style, even when I am in leggings and fuzzy socks.
The trend of money-pieces is here to stay, and rightly so, because it adds depth and radiance to your face, like a ring light in a box. The most appropriate time to go warmer or ashier would be during fall, depending on the skin tone.
Choppy Shag with Curtain Bangs
This is to the girls who wear their cardigans, drink spiced chai like it is a personality. This cut is a medium shag that is slightly longer than the shoulders with smooth curvy bends and feathered curtain bangs, which is voluminous but not heavy. The layering on the jawline makes the face look upward, which is flattering to full cheeks and jawlines. Think classic rock-and-roll, but make it cozy.
This is where a texturizing spray comes in handy, my favorite one is Amika Un.Done Volume and Matte Texture Spray. It gives separation and hold without stickiness. Air-dry it or twist the layers around your finger as it dries to stress the movement.
This is a cut to fit plus size black women haircuts and fairer tones too- it is inclusive, edgy and can be romantic or street depending on your makeup and fit of the day.
Want to elevate this even more? According to celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan, you should just add soft highlights to the ends to achieve a lived-in luxury that looks great as it grows out.
Rust Red Glam with Soft Waves
A bombshell moment wrapped in fall foliage vibes. The color is a deep rust-cinnamon red, and it is the perfect fall color of anyone who is warm-skinned. Combined with the long length cascading waves and very little layering, this style exudes romance. It is a fluffy, fullish cut that fits close to the face without being too tight, and it lengthens, not broadens. This is a gorgeous option when it comes to round face haircuts on plus size women who desire glam without shortness.
This kind of red needs commitment. Wash in color-safe sulfate free shampoo, rinse cool water. Use the dpHUE Gloss+ in Copper to refresh the color every week, maintaining the color fresh and salon-like.
I have a weakness when it comes to this style it is theatrical but not costume-y. It is particularly pretty in the morning when it is cold and you wear it with deep lipstick and a chunky knit. There’s something old-Hollywood about it, but it still feels so right-now.
It proves that the haircuts of women plus size do not need to be safe. You can be bold, red, and unstoppable.
Precision Long Bob with Glassy Finish
This is a long bob that screams sophistication. Smooth, straight, and sharp with a bit longer front and a clean angle that is close to the jawline- this cut is designed to make full cheeks look good and enhance your entire appearance. Its accuracy of geometry automatically lengthens the neck and creates an illusion of a carved face. I adore the power of this cut that is so simple. It’s the ultimate short haircuts for large women plus size because it lets your confidence speak first.
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum will keep the texture razor-sharp and frizz-free, as it smooths and adds high-gloss shine. A flat iron touch up will keep everything smooth, but never forget to use a heat protectant. One of my holy grails is Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray.
This haircut is polished-looking, there is something so empowering about the neatness of it. It makes me feel like a boss without layers, curls, and frills. If you’re someone who leans minimal but loves impact, this might just be your season’s signature.
One of my stylist friends recommended this as the best women plus size haircuts when you want to have hair that can take you to the boardrooms and brunch. And I’ve never forgotten that.
