This is personally one of my favorites even of this particular season as again it puts a fun at the forefront of structured cuts. Spring may not be about straight and smooth-occasionally the little curl messiness is the charm.
Wine-Red Cascade Bob with Deep Side Part
The mixture of arrogant color and sophisticated cut is combined in this cascade bob of soft, winding pattern. The extravagant wine-red color is all, what fall wants to be: brooding, romantic, confident. And the side part is a further theatrics causing asymmetry, lift via the crown. It is a garment that practically turns into a request to add a leather jacket and red lips.
To maintain such a color fresh-looking, I would suggest Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo and deep conditioning mask once every week. With this color as well, heat defense is a non-issue, I love using Amika Blockade Heat Defense Serum.
Just by simply looking at this haircut I feel powerful. I also wore something like it around the time I was making a serious life change and I had the main character energy whenever I would glance at my reflection.
It’s also a surprisingly easy style to maintain. The layers are natural and the side-swept bang provided face-framing without being in your line of sight every five seconds. Practical and fierce? Sign me up.
Beachy Short Wavy Bob with Air-Dried Texture
This is the softer, messier short wavy bob that I would term the off-duty actress haircut. It has its texture, quiet volume, and those lax bends which say: I care, but I am not that serious. The piece-y fringe completes the nothing-done-wrong aesthetic, and it is mid-way between curtain and bottleneck. It is an ideal item to wear when you need something that would be low-maintenance and yet, appropriate to wear during the fall-season.
This one does well on natural action, thus I usually forego heat tools on non-event days and use Not Your Mother Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray to add texture to the wave. A little scrunch, a little patience—and you’re done.
A cut I would recommend to every being who is attempting to have his/her natural texture this fall. This cut is especially ideal if you have been skirting around having bangs, fearing that it will take too much to maintain them though it turns out that bangs can also be cool.
Just add some cozy knits and gold hoops to this and you are giving effortless cool. So imagine early golden hour, wind in your hair and coffee in hand. You get the vibe.
Asymmetrical Undercut with Sweeping Top Layers
To the daring and the not afraid, this one sided chop is what I would call hair armor. One side is buzzed very close to the scalp and the top sweeps theatrically over the face in soft, silvery straight layers. It is cool, edgy and non gendered in the best mechanism. And in case you have been longing to have a new beginning, then this cut is literally reinvented.
To keep this type of style moisturized, I use Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother particularly when your top layer becomes lightened or silverized. The buzzed side, however, does not require much attention, just routine fades, but the top has to be shiny and structured so that contrast punches.
This look has something that attributes a form of silent strength. Similar to how you do not have to talk loudly since your entire presence is telling enough. It is the haircut equivalent to taking sides- and taking space.
And yes, it can be bang-friendly. This longer top can be worn falling over the forehead or flipped in order to gain volume, depending on how you feel. That’s the magic of asymmetry—it always gives options.
Voluminous Afro with Deep Violet Coils
This look is pure texture celebration. Thick, large luscious rounded Afro where several strands are coiled with deep violet dye in between. The plain layered silhouette adds movement without bulk and the bang line is rounded which brings the eyes to the center of most flattering interest. It is a trim that will honor your heritage–blood and sentiment.
Moisture is everything here. I adore Pattern Beauty Leave-in Conditioner because it can make hair soft, and Camille Rose Curl Maker because it makes the hair not crunchy. Sleeping in a satin bonnet or a silk pillow case is also worth trying to maintain shape and moisture.
I’m endlessly inspired by this color. Deep plum against darker skin tones is fall perfection. It will make every outfit just more interesting and will provide a slight reference to wealth and royalty.
This cut is also very beautiful with bangs, although not defined as sharply they can be as well. It feminizes the face and crowns it. And in the event that you already considered going natural with your texture- this should be your cue.
Platinum Jellyfish Cut with Spiked Crown
Yes, you read that right—this is a jellyfish cut. And it’s everything. The style creates two layered looks, one is fluffy and short on the top covered with punky spiky volume and on the bottom of the shape a longer layer that goes to embrace the nape. The color? A platinum blonde so bright it practically hums. This isn’t a haircut—it’s a transformation.
Shu Uemura Ishi Sculpt Paste keeps the top piece fluffy: it has hold, but not stiffness. On the length of the long under-layer I prefer a light oil serum such as Redken Oil for All, to add some texture contrast.
First, you may think: “Hmm, that is too out there.” But listen—this is meant to be edgy. It’s for the moment you need a total switch-up. It is the type that accompanies a change in playlist and a new shade of lipstick.
Plus, it’s surprisingly versatile. Smooth out the spikes or mix the layers in case there is a need. But why would you? Are you already toying with the idea of being bold? It is time you take the leap.
Final Thoughts
So, what’s calling you? The lived-in softness of a medium length wolfcut? The structured energy of a straight bob? Or maybe it is time to go all out fantasy and violet fro? That is what this fall is not so much about in terms of playing it safe but more of falling in line with the haircut you can feel something.
Bang-friendly doesn’t have to mean blunt and basic. It can be wispy, bottleneck, curtain, or even micro. It can blur, mellow, accentuate–or upset your entire scenario.
Because your hair isn’t just hair. It’s a story. And this season? It’s worth telling differently.
