Add subtle face-framing highlights to your brunette shade for an updated look. Rez reports that many of his clients request soft, natural tones like Gwyneth Paltrow’s honey brown.
The bowl cut, a refined take on a pixie or mullet cut, is back this season as an elegant way to express movement and texture. Think wide fringes that reveal more of your eyebrows and cheekbones when pulled forward or tucked behind the ears.
The Bob
The bob is back, with an updated style. Reminiscent of its 90s counterpart, celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow have worn this contemporary version before.
Short chop grow-outs have also seen a comeback this fall, and many opting for medium-length manes that are healthy and sleek. Consider it as an intermediate step between blunt bobs and modern shags that have taken over social media.
For those willing to commit to longer cuts, we suggest indulging in the latest hair color trend sweeping Instagram: brown baby balayage. This look blends subtle highlights with rich brown tones for an organic sun-kissed effect – creating the ideal way to keep blonde locks looking fresh this autumn!
Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs (or curtain fringes) are shaggy strands that frame your face like window panes do. While their origins lie in the 1960s and 1970s (think Jane Birkin), their modern day version can flatter almost all face shapes and work with various hair textures and styles, from messy waves to curly shags to sleek blowouts. Dakota Johnson, Yara Shahidi, and other celebs have been seen wearing this stylish fringe look both full fringes as well as wispy accents!
For an eye-catching twist on this trend, ask your stylist for a chin-length cut that features modern shags with flippy layers at the fringe for extra volume and texture. It makes even short cropped bobs stand out, and works especially well if you want to grow out your bangs without losing length. Complete the look with delectable blonde shades like Creme Brulee for maximum effect!
Vibrant Colors
2024’s bold and vibrant colors trend is not only fashionable, but it can also provide a window into an individual’s individuality. For those seeking a subtler impression, caramel-hued shades that blend into lighter tones make an excellent statement piece.
Celebrities like Sydney Sweeney and Margot Robbie have already adopted this relaxed take on the classic blunt bob, known as “Nirvana cut” (in honor of Kurt Cobain) that offers a more laidback style but remains chic while remaining casual. Perfect for women seeking both elegance and casual comfort.
Fall/winter 2024 runways saw this vibrant hue adorn the locks of designers like Roksanda and Anna Sui, as well as influencers like Miley Cyrus – who chose softer versions with curtain bangs to frame her face beautifully – as well as pastel pink hues which were popular during spring/summer 2024; its playful femininity adding an edge of playfulness.
Natural Texture
Last year’s popular fringe trend from the 1970s returned in full force this fall, but with even voluminous variations. Roszak suggests adding vintage flair without drastically altering your length – like Zendaya did by adding deep side-swept variations like her babydoll bang! For maximum effect.
Rez and celebrity colorist Jenna Perry suggest trying a “creme brulee blonde.” This delectable shade blends brown tones to achieve a natural-looking, multidimensional finish that looks rich and radiant – Miley Cyrus sports this trend with warm chunky balayage highlighted throughout her dark brunette locks for added dimension.
The Calico Hair Trend has recently gained immense popularity, taking its cue from the distinctive coloring of calico cats. This look offers a subtle take on high-contrast red, brunette, and blonde stripes and can easily be achieved using highlights or ombre techniques.
