Fringe-Up Blowout Layers
This large-scale blowout scene has all the reference to 90s glam yet does not seem to be dated. The effect of dramatic lift at the roots of hair and creating fashionable up hair cut effect of a modern fringe makes the face appear long and gives more emphasis on the eyes. Combined with the effect of brushed-out ends and deep side sweep, this style has a perfect match with an oval-shaped face to produce a quick trick on the cheekbones.
In order to achieve this volumize, I swear by the Living Proof- Full Dry Volume Blast. It’s lightweight but mighty. Turn your head over, spray liberally and set it with a paddle brush and cold air. This is a dream come true when you have medium or long hair especially naturally thick or slightly curved hair.
It is the style which introduces drama in the most desirable manner. Think of power meetings, romantic dinners or, simply, that day, when you really need to feel 10% hotter, than usual. I have worn this blow out in times when I needed confidence and it did not disappoint.
Is it extra? Yes. Yet fall is the time of the statement coat, boots made of leather and dark lipstick. Your hair should rise to the moment.
Edgy Undercut with Ash Blonde Top
Punkish and bold with soft-luxe edge, this high contrast undercut styles in ash-blonde crown, with a near-concealed hairstyles fade. The top will be left long and windswept providing dramatic volume and motion and the sides closely clipped to provide contrast. In the case of oval face shapes this cut ACTS as a sculptor with cheekbones and jawlines. It’s architectural in the best way.
Keeping color in this case is a must-tone every few weeks in order to maintain that nice ash color and not to go brassy. Take a violet one such as the Amika Bust Your Brass Cool Blonde Repair Mask and cover your undercut with products that take care of the scalp. A fade this sharp deserves that love.
I adore this style because it does break the rules, it is feminine, masculine, futuristic at the same time. If you’re the kind of woman who’s into statement jewelry and stacked rings, this cut is an accessory in itself.
It is not everyone who will either have the guts to do this, and this is the point. The fear of playing it safe, the fear of sounding less than confident, that is not the issue here, but the need to just have the room and be in the room as soon as you enter it.
Shaved Side Waves
Sculpted waves paired with a tight side shave? This is the style that should be seen on an editorial of a Vogue magazine, and yet the girl manages to make this look immaculate on an ordinary street as well. In the case of oval-shaped faces, such contrast of flowing wavy hair and buzzed detail turns out to suit them quite unexpectedly. It balances elegance with attitude. There’s movement, but there’s edge. It’s sexy, yes — but it’s also smart.
For styling longer side I will suggest using Ouai Wave Spray to provide definition and movable softness. The point is the contrast no need to have the two textures struggle. And the wave talked, and the buzz side was quiet. Your barber will also have joined your beauty team now.
For me, this cut feels cinematic. It is hair that tells the world that you have some stories and you are not afraid to live a little bit louder this season. I have had one with much less drama with a deep part and even felt reborn.
This may be the most liberating thing you do in 2019, especially when you have naturally bent or curly hair. Stylish. Fearless. And completely on point for fall.
Textured Undercut Wave
This is a type of sculptural undercut with big curly fringe that depicts one of those types of hairstyles with an underlying sense of independence and edginess. The top is rendered with a side swept curl and is left dramatically full, contrasting with the sides buzzed clean, which look strong in a visual sense. For oval face shapes, this cut highlights the natural bone structure in the most intentional way — it’s architectural without being cold.
To keep a hold and that lift, I would advise the R+Co Aircraft Pomade Mousse in order to achieve light control and lift. A quick finger tousle and you’re ready to go. It is the best cut when you are a short thick haired woman and want to enjoy the texture in a manner that would still appear structured.
Sincerely, when I find this type of undercut, it is somehow a plush protest, the declaration of individual beauty. It is sophisticated punk that is so perfect on fall evenings covered with satin or leather.
And here’s the beauty: it grows out gracefully. It can be shaped or grown back without any drastic change thus, quite low-commitment to such a daring look.
Cool-Toned Blonde Pixie Wave
This platinum-touched pixie is mixed with edgy lines and a bit of retro glamour. The wave on the front provides a motion whereas the short sides adjudicate the appearance. That is a matter of contrast, tight and loose, soft and sharp. Oval face shapes thrive in this type of balance. It makes the eyes and lips the center of attraction.
This kind of color does require some effort it is also not so bad when you are working with darker roots. As a wash in-between, I would use the Fanola no-yellow shampoo to keep that icy tone, and a deep moisture mask once a week. Short thin hair can be left soft but raised by the use of a light leave in conditioner.
The first time I saw this cut at a fall beauty preview in Brooklyn, the stylist referred to it as a mix between Marilyn and the Matrix and I have not been able to forget about it since then. It’s elegant, but dangerous. And it just looks even better with a red lipstick and gold hoops.
In the event that you would like to learn confidence with a twist, this is it. Power meets softness in one tiny, fierce frame.
Burnt Copper Ringlet Bob
I can resist nothing in deep copper color combined with romantic ringlets. This medium cut is floating around the face in smooth spirals and the micro-bangs? They are not heavy such that they form a frame around the forehead and truncate your features. This shape has charm and bounce at the right places where the face is oval in shape.
When I want product that won ti fall flat, I love Briogeo Curl Charisma Leave-In. It does not make the curly hair crunchy, but bouncy and light. And yes, color-safe. In case you have less rigid curls, you could still have this type of cut, but make the definition a little more prominent by diffusing or twist-outing your strands.
There’s a nostalgia to this cut. It takes me back to the mornings when it is crisp, when my coffee is spiced, and my sweater, which is vintage in nature. And that color? Absolute autumn firelight. It glows against every skin tone.
Do not worry, though, as you are fond of curly hair ladies beauty and are afraid of the high-maintenance hair styling treatments. IT makes you have an excuse to experiment with texture again, but without a full production.
Curly Mohawk Moment
This is among the most electric fall look: mullet of the full body that marries with the contemporary wolfcut with curls that are just styled up in the air. The sides are tapered and not shaved: they provide a structure yet they are not brutal. With oval faces: this vertical lift pulls the entire aspect upward, which makes this face more open and makes the eyes more prominent.
Curls this dynamic thrive on hydration. I would recommend using Pattern Beauty Curl Gel to hold and Camille Rose Curl Maker as a softer hold with more definition. Timely haircuts are essential to ensure that the figure is deliberate, as opposed to frizzy.
When I discussed this cut with my stylist, she referred to it as a “controlled chaos” and being honest, she got it right. It’s bold, but has discipline. And the salon lighting? Made it sparkle like jewelry.
Have you ever needed a huge change, and yet you need your curls to take center stage? This one gives both drama and identity, without compromise.
Modern French Pixie
Part sassy and part delicate, this cropped platinum pixie will make you feel less Parisian and a bit more urban. Edges are clean and squat but top is hardly long to add character and depth. This baby fringe along the forehead brings softness to it and would be particularly good on oval face shapes that require definition without anything harsh.
This cut thrives with a little styling cream. I suggest Sachajuan Hair Wax, it adds exactly the required amount of fixation to the fringe to touch it up, so it does not get sticky. In case of thin hair this product has a dual effect i.e. it makes hair fuller and gives it a coucheable effect.
I always have this feeling that such pixies have the story to tell – you have seen a couple of lives and you have no complex about it. When it is combined with leather or denim it is an entire atmosphere.
