Wish you had a style that appears to have been worked on–but wasn t? This little silhouette ticks all the fall boxes: volume, ease, charm.
Feathered Butterfly Cut with Fringe
This butterfly cut gives it movement and softness without losing shape. The long cascading layers give a flowing silhouette and the front curtain bangs softly frame the face particularly on round faces. The warm brunette base with caramel highlights makes it seasonal and it is ideal to wear on chilly days with black turtlenecks or trench coats. This is one of the most flattering long hair this fall.
The trick to maintaining this layered style bouncy is a blowout using a large round brush and a root-lifting spray-I have discovered Living Proof Full Root Lift to be a gem in this case. Don’t skip heat protection either if you’re styling daily.
This trim never fails to remind me that I am out of a rom-com in New York. It has a romantic energy, and it has practicality, nothing too precious or stiff. And it also looks great on air-dried or styled days.
In case you have been yearning to have something stylish yet lenient, the butterfly cut fits all the boxes this fall of 2025.
Cozy Crop with Tapered Texture
Rough and unruly in all the right spots, this short to medium length cut has a contemporary sheen with a twist. The length of the crown gives it volume and youthful lift and the sides are tapered elegantly towards the jawline. The side-swept bang makes it very flattering on round faces and the overall shape is not too full and not too bulky.
The secret to this look is a lightweight pomade. I dab in a little from Aveda’s Control Paste for soft definition. You can make it as messy as you like or smooth it out according to your mood.
This brings me back to the scar I received when I made a significant change in my life. It’s easy to wear but not boring—something about the casual texture makes you feel put together even when you’re in oversized knits and leggings.
If you’re done fussing with longer hair, this is a pixie alternative that still feels feminine and seasonal. Think pumpkin spice meets power haircut.
Champagne Blonde Short Pixie
This super-chic short pixie has a frothy champagne blonde color with barely-there rose gold undertones- so dreamy in 2025. The top is a little longer and pushed forward with soft volume and the sides are tapered close to give a clean profile. This silhouette is magical on round faces, giving the effect of lift and definition of the cheekbones without the harsh lines.
This blonde color is not easy to maintain, I am a believer in the dpHUE Cool Blonde Shampoo and Olaplex No. 3 treatments once a week. Shine is everything here, especially with softer platinum tones.
This haircut has a certain glow on the face. It is new, trendy, and it goes so well with fall jewel tones or metallic earrings. Bonus-it dries beautifully air-dried in case you have a slightly wavy texture underneath.
Want to show off your makeup, earrings, and confidence? This is your best short blonde moment yet.
Soft Ginger Lob with Gentle Waves
This is a softly curled lob of autumnal warm ginger colour. The medium length hits just below the shoulders and makes it have body without being heavy. Soft layering all over the bottom half adds volume and bounce to it, so this would be perfect to anyone who wants something curly, elegant and seasonal.
To maintain these curls, I recommend a light hold mousse, Kenra Curl Defining Cream is my go-to when I want body without the crunch. A big barrel iron will also come in handy on those days when you are feeling lazy and your waves need a little push.
I want this type of hair, red, un-done, every fall. There’s something poetic about it. It could be the color of the falling leaves, or it could be the way it feels on chunky scarves.
This lob is to the people who desire texture, but not chaos, shape, but not sharpness. It is a compromise that goes with everything, every day.
Elegant Tapered Side-Swept Pixie
Precise but easy-going, this pixie is clean but sultry. The longer fringe part is brushed diagonally to open the face and the back and sides are cut short to give a modern profile. The warm brown base color complements the eye color and goes well with the earthy color of fall.
This style is all about accuracy and therefore it requires frequent trims after every 5-6 weeks. I use a little bit of smoothing balm such as the Kerastase Discipline Blow Dry Cream to tame flyaways, particularly when there is dry indoor heat.
This trim made me think that short can be glamorous. It is one of those styles that say, I am in control without even trying too much. It goes perfectly with dramatic makeup or neutral tones, depending on how you feel about fall.
If you’re considering a dramatic shift without feeling bare, this one is a confident yet flattering pick.
Bold Two-Tone Butterfly Layers
This is a colorful layered butterfly haircut that is designed to turn heads. The deep burgundy foundation stands out in contrast to the platinum face-framing strands, and it is one of the boldest yet well-organized styles of 2025. Strategic cuts of layers are flipped and moved easily to add drama and dimension to long hair that remains light.
Color maintenance here is no joke—split-tone hair demands sulfate-free shampoo (like Pureology Hydrate) and weekly deep conditioning. The shape is also durable when using a round brush and low heat styling.
I have always envied women who make such a commitment to a bold color story. It has a layered movement that makes it appear expensive and it goes well with cooler weather accessories- berets, scarves or oversized coats.
Want something that embodies the edge of fall 2025? This layered two-tone might just be your power move.
Mid-Length Sleek Lob in Beige Blonde
Simple and minimal, this mid length lob is on the side of simplicity with a light beige-blonde color and clean ends. It is evenly cut below the shoulders- ideal to round face lovers who are shoulder length lovers and want something that is not too fussy yet elegant. No heavy layering, just a slight weight removal to make it light.
Your best friend in this case is purple shampoo such as Fanola No Yellow to prevent brassiness. A good heat protectant is also a must, too–particularly because this cut is best with a smooth flat iron finish.
This style takes me back to the early fall days when it is still chilly and you simply want to look put together without having to think too much about it. It’s timeless, modern, and pairs well with chunky sweaters or delicate makeup.
This is also a winner in thin hair, it does not weigh you down and the length is polishing. One of the most universally flattering styles this season.
Chic Wispy Layers with Face-Framing Bangs
This textured, soft style is the type of effortless glam that I always fall in love with in the fall. The hair style is a medium length shag with wispy layers that feather out naturally, which makes it have a light, airy movement. The sides of the curtain bangs merge into the sides, and the face is framed softly, which is particularly flattering to round faces. The layers are enhanced by the dull cherry brown color that does not overpower the softness of the cut. It is a subtle confident style, perfect when it is that time of year when everything is a bit romantic.
