Soft Blonde Glamour Waves
These waves are like out of an old dream redesigned in the softness of today. The medium length hair fall cut is blonde and shoulder-length with a little bit of volume at the roots and those just-right imperfect waves that appear air-dried–but better. It feels elegant and relaxed, like you’re sipping champagne at golden hour in early November.
To keep this soft glow, one needs to use products that are rich in moisture and a little heat styling. Moroccanoil Treatment Light is what I apply to tame frizz and add shine without weight. You can get the waves with a 1.25″ curling iron—just make sure to brush them out with a boar bristle brush after cooling to keep them touchable.
This style is so serious early-fall wedding guest or a comfy dinner date vibe. It is basic, yet in the most sophisticated, French-girl-on-autumn-holiday way.
Not quite willing to go all the way curly or invest in bangs? These fluffy, springy layers are your introduction to change of season without being melodramatic. A gentle refresh for your strands—and your spirit.
Side-Swept Bangs and Tousled Texture
This cut is fall on fire. A contemporary shag-meets-lob with piecey, loose waves and a side-swept fringe that adds softness to the eyes. The general length touches the collarbone, and provides a little shape to either dress up or down. It is one of those cuts that go well with scarves and chunky earrings- no awkward flips or flat roots.
The beauty here is in the mess. A bit of mousse at the roots (R+Co Aircraft Pomade Mousse is a dream) and a light scrunch gives you all-day volume without the stiffness. You don’t want these waves to be uniform—they’re meant to move.
I had a variation of this on a foggy fall in Seattle and it got me through rain, wind and way too many chai lattes to count. It is the fall medium hair hairstyle that never seems dated but is never overdone.
Hairstylist Anh Co Tran once remarked that good layers must appear to be lived-in, and not grown out. This is exactly what he means.
Copper Rose Lob with Vanilla Ribbons
This color story is all the way in pumpkin spice land and frankly, it is giving life. The female medium hairstyle falls in this category is a blunt lob with little layering- the color speaks. It has soft waves, but the true moment is in the warm copper base with those vanilla blonde ribbons running through. It’s cozy, warm, and totally unexpected.
Color like this requires intention. Use a color-safe shampoo like Redken Color Extend Magnetics and always deep condition weekly—I like Briogeo’s Don’t Despair, Repair!. This keeps those creamy ribbons light and the copper does not turn brassy.
In case you are tired of your existing color and desire something adorable, warm and everyday, this is your passport. Besides, it is equally stylish with a navy blazer as with a mustard sweater. Trust me, I’ve tried both.
It’s fall without going cliché. Cinnamon without the spice overload. The type of color that people inquire about when you are in the queue to get your latte.
Defined Rust Curls with Deep Side Part
This curly moment is all I desire fall hair to be: daring, textured, and not afraid to be deep in color. These are defined spirals, parted deep on the side, falling just below the chin–a medium length hairstyle fall look that is flattering and does not go too short. The rust shade? Utter perfection for October.
The trick to keeping this type of curl definition is moisture layering. I suggest Camille Rose Curl Maker and a little Mielle Organics Pomegranate & Honey Coil Sculpting Custard. The blend keeps curls juicy, bouncy and stands up well against fall wind.
What I love about this style is its confidence. It’s not about shrinking curls or forcing smoothness. It is a party of nature texture and fiery color- a style that is easy to adore and has a lot of character.
Want to make your fall hair feel more you? This style challenges you to get comfortable with being bold without being simple. It is a bit of spice, a bit of structure and a lot of beautiful.
Polished Blonde Bob with a Deep Side Part
Structured, chic, and a little retro- this medium hairstyle for women fall look is serious main character energy. The bob is blunt and soft at the ends and the side part gives the drama and depth, particularly with the contrast of the dark root and the creamy blonde. It is a style that goes best with leather, suede and your brightest red lip.
I always recommend using a root touch-up powder (like Color Wow Root Cover Up) if your base grows out faster than expected—it keeps that contrast intentional. And to that mirror finish, there is nothing like Shu Uemura Satin Design Blow Dry Lotion. Smooth, control, repeat.
It is that hair style that makes you feel that you are in control even when you are not. I’ve worn this bob to networking events, late dinners, and even on lazy grocery runs—and somehow, it always delivers polish.
There is just something so badass about a slick side part during the cooler seasons. It shaves off the fluff and flannel and it makes any outfit feel pulled together.
Windswept Volume with Casual Layers
This one’s for the effortlessly cool. A bit longer bob with windswept length and a bit of curl to make it feel undone, though stylish. The size at the crown and natural swoop of the front layer makes it a casual, moody choice to anyone who does not want to look like they have tried too hard.
To achieve this without crispiness, I am a big fan of IGK Beach Club Texture Spray. Dry running your fingers through and allow your natural cowlicks and bends to work.
This trim reminds me of strolling through the parks in autumn with the coat unbuttoned and the cheeks chilled by the wind. That is the simple, elegant flaw that somehow, the more it becomes a mess, the more beautiful it becomes.
When you are ready to have a refresh but do not want to lose much length or structure, these light layers could be just what you need.
Easy-Cut Lob with Natural Texture
This is what we will call it the ultimate easy, no-fuss lob. The cut is slightly below the jawline, slightly tapered to follow the curve of the jaw- not trying to be flattering. Soft layering and a center part make it the type of fall hairstyle medium hair that looks good with everything, including lounging around the house, layered scarves and boots.
This is a wash-and-go dream. Have a good lightweight cream in stock- I adore Function of Beauty Custom Styling Cream as a quick way to smooth and shape without having to do a lot. When your ends turn in strange directions, a once-over with a straightener can keep the shape tidy.
Honestly? This is my favorite cut when I am in the mood to look fresh and low maintenance. It straddles that fine line between easy and elegant and, let me tell you, that is where I want to be all season.
It’s also one of the most versatile base cuts if you ever want to switch things up later—with curtain bangs, color, or curls. It adapts, it flatters, it doesn’t stress you out. What more could we want?
