Fall is on its way. Cooler air is starting to blow in and the leaves are starting to change. It’s time to tame those beachy locks, take down those cool up dos. It’s time to find the perfect hairstyle to go with those adorable boots and leggings. The hair trends this year are fun, bold, and allow your beauty to glow as much as the fall foliage. Here are some styles that we know you will love.
1) The Bob
This season brings new takes on this classic haircut, which typically features hair cut straight around the head. One new bob concept that has emerged is a combination of the bob with a shag haircut which celebrity hairstylist Giannandrea calls a “shab.” This fun version features layered pieces that can be fun to style.
Another popular bob is a longer bob that features thick bangs, and has concealed layers on the underside. This cut looks great on thick hair, and has the added benefit of being easy to style.
One more bob that is trendy this season is a wavy bob with straight bangs. All types of hair will look great with this cut. Make sure to ask your hairstylist to leave the ends of the bangs choppy to avoid that straight line across the eyebrows. This cut is also easily styled with a quick scrunch of the waves and smoothing out of the bangs.
2) Super Short Cuts
Short hair is another popular trend this year. One cut that is in style this year is a “punk crop” that is short on the sides and longer on top. This is another cut that is fun to play with in the morning to create different looks. If you are concerned that this cut might not reveal your feminine side, ask your stylist to allow the short sides to cover the edges of your ears slightly.
The “pixie” is another classic and it looks fantastic on thinner hair. This hairstyle features hair that is longer in the front but cut very short along the back and sides of the head.
The “buzz cut” is another short cut that is making waves this year. The initial choice to shave the head is bold and liberating, allowing the beauty of your face to speak for itself with nothing standing in its way.
3) Layers
A variety of layered cuts can be found this year. Do you remember the Rachel? This iconic 90’s style is flattering, wispy, allowing tendrils to frame the face whether your hair is up or down. Is your hair long and naturally straight? Ask for a chest length cut with subtle layering at the ends for an easy look. If you straighten your hair, this style can work for you if your locks are naturally curly. If you have a ton of fine hair, show off the luxurious volume of your hair with a classic layered look. Tell your stylist you want two distinct, chunky sets of layers. Have one set of layers hit at chin level and the other hit at your collarbone. A look that is universally attractive is all over layers. Multidimensional layers work with all hair types and will look great with any shaped face. To keep the look youthful, be sure to have frequent trims, especially on the layer that hit at cheek level. Love your natural curls? Try a style with a triangle shape. Ask your stylist for long layers. The fullness at the ends that this creates will frame your face beautifully.
4) Long Bangs
Longer bangs is another trend that is showing up a lot this fall. Wavy hair with straightened bangs is a new look that is popular. Another fall trend includes bangs that extend all the way down to the eyelashes and bangs that are choppy and hit at the eyebrow. To keep longer bangs looking intentional, be sure to trim them weekly or bi-weekly.
The trends this year are new takes on classic looks and allow for individual expression of style. An emphasis on natural beauty is prevalent this fall. Most of them require little or no styling prep time, but also look great when you feel like playing around and spending a little more creative energy on your hair.
Fall is a season of new beginnings. The new school year starts and whether that affects your own schedule or not, it’s a great time to try out new looks and styles. The bold, fun looks that are hot this season will make you excited to get ready for work or play whether you choose to style or not. The youthful vibe that radiates from each of these trendy cuts will make you feel like a new you.
