Voluminous Curly Layers
Most curly layers are full bodied and they are one of the most playful styles of fall. A bit of tousled volume and softness around the face accents this haircut and makes it look energetic and in movement. It is easy to care and looks fashionable, and one can see that curls are not only popular but classic.
Moisture is the secret here. Curly hair loves water, so, to define curls and fend off frizz, I have DevaCurl SuperCream next to me. A diffuser attachment to the blow dryer also adds the perfect touch to adding bounce.
Curly hairstyles are something I have always believed adds some liveliness to the fall fashion. Imagine them wearing a scarf, over-sized coat or chunky sweater- the texture immediately changes garment. This style demonstrates that curls do not only form around your face, they form around your entire personality.
Feathered Layers With Bangs
Soft bangs and feathered medium long layers make the ultimate fall look with a cozy vibe to it. The layers further inject swing and volume, whereas, the bangs emphasise the eyes in a perfectly flattering manner. It’s romantic, yet refreshingly wearable.
To maintain the volume, I like to use a fine volume spray, such as Root Pump Plus available at Big Sexy Hair that does not add weight to the style. A round brush and blow drying also helps the bangs fall naturally rather than flat.
This haircut is nostalgic in the best way. It brings that 70s appeal of softness yet it remains very much ahead of its time and fitting in the year 2025. Feathered layers also give me such a dramatic feel, and every movement of my head carries a little extra flare–that unexpected yet subtle drama that makes passers-by look twice.
Bronde Waves With Highlights
Making a mix of the brunette and blonde bronde with wavy layers is one of the universally flattering decisions. The highlights add dimension and some glitz but the more obscure texture is what makes it perfect in autumn time. The waves add softness and light to your hair that is mid length or even more on the longer side.
I normally keep the styles like this in tip-top shape using Pureology Hydrate Sheer Conditioner to keep the color lively and hair hydrates. A little texturizing spray is a bonus too to ensure the waves are loose, and not sticky.
This look is very autumnal: the warm shade combination reminds of the leaves that reflect the changes happening outdoors. It feels earthy, chic, and effortlessly approachable. This is a classic example of fall hairstyles on women beyond 40 because almost any woman looks pretty in it irrespective of her style preference.
Structured Curly Crop
Nothing is more appealing that the short curly hair that has been styled to perfection. This cropped style has all the right proportions with curls to create volume at the crown and smoothness at the sides making it appear sophisticated, yet playful. It;s one of those chipper shortcuts that is always quite stylish in 2025 and very becoming to women who are not looking to be too long but rather chilly.
Caring for curls like these means leaning into hydration. I love True Textures Curl Enhancing Lotion, by Mizani because it adds volume and definition in a non-crunchy way. Leaving it to dry, with a diffuser attached, prevents the loss of volume so the curls emphasize the face.
Whenever I curl my hair like this way, I always feel how well it brings attention to your facial features your earrings, your make up and even your smile. It’s bold but approachable, stylish but not intimidating. Fall it can be teamed with textured jackets or deep colours and becomes a symbol of unwavering confidence.
Autumn Copper Half-Up Waves
Copper color is taking a serious step and this on-trend long half-up hairstyle is here to show why it should. The dark red color of the hair is perfectly illuminated, and the cursory waves add the necessary flow to the whole image. Pulled at the crown in an adventurous bun it is a youthful but sophisticated manner to show off color this season.
Maintaining the red tones are a bit more work, but well worth it all. I have relied on Pureology Reviving Red Shampoo and Conditioner as they help keep color last longer, and nourish the hair. Ok, copper will not last as long as other colors, but when you take care of it, the reward will be worth it.
I personally think that this makes a fall look since it is warm and glowing and confident. Celebrity stylist Tracey Cunningham has on several occasions said that copper never really goes out of the fashion, but will always re-emerge stronger, and this hairstyle is testimony to this claim.
Side Braid Bob
Other times you can just have a little thing that makes a haircut very high. A cute side braid makes this lovely bob look (literally) a bit more interesting, combining both textural effect and edginess to a timeless style. It is fun and cute enough to wear during a casual day but also user-friendly to attend dinners since they manage to infuse funny sense when they are paired with an elegant hairstyle strategy.
How great is it that this hairstyle also looks excellent on fine hair- braid will always add some dimension and volume to the hair where you might not have thought to look. A hold enhancing spray such as Kristin Ess Dry Finish Working Texture Spray keeps the braid in place but in a natural and flexible manner
Such style reminds me of how the details can alter the entire image. The natural braid makes the bob fun and youthful and sticks to the theme of fall fashion, focused on layering and textures.
Elegant Blonde Updo With Face Frame
Even an updo does not have to be too fussy – it can be simple, chic and classic. It can be attested by this blonde bun with soft face-framing strands. It is classy enough to be worn to formal occasions, but casual enough that you could still talk to it. This is one of the most adaptable hair styles among Dos on falling hair among ladies over age 40, especially on a night out or occasion.
