1. Braids

All of those How To videos for braided hairstyles are going to pay out, ladies, as braids continue on being one of the major fall hair trends!

2. Low Bun

Easy to do, absolutely perfect for those days when your hair either refuses to cooperate or isn’t totally clean, not to mention extremely glamorous – a low bun is such a great hairstyle! This season, however, it becomes more than a practical, hassle-free way to look amazing – it’s a fall hair trend every fashionista on the go should try for size! Copy-paste the Max Mara runway look if you love braided low buns or accessorize with colorful barrettes or bejeweled headbands if you love the baroque-ish glamour seen on the Dolce & Gabbana runway or the playfulness Cacharel chose to bring to the game this fall!

3. Hair Accessories

Nothing is too much this year, no embellishment is over the top and yes, it does mean that your much-loved, simple hairstyles are getting their equally hassle-free glamorous version that requires no extra skill or time!

5. Cool Colors

Thinking about updating your hair color? Well, you might want to cool down a bit this fall and I mean it literally! Honey-ish, caramel and brassy tones are being benched for the time being and their cooler teammates are stepping into the game. Consider ashy or even icy tones if you’re planning on touching up your golden tresses, give those caramel-colored highlights or ombre ends a rich chocolate coating or choose the best cool red for your orange-y locks.

6. Sleek Looks

Not a beachy wave fan? No problem! There are plenty of other trendy hairstyles for fall for you to try! This year’s fall hair trends can be mixed and matched super easily and that’s one amazing transformation you won’t need Stacey, Clinton and TLC for! Opt for deep side or middle parts and give your shine serum of choice a run for its money. Remember that everything that can be secured at the nape of your neck (be it bun or classic pony), that is a definite DO this season - and don’t forget to embellish a bit…or a lot!

7. Bangs in All Shapes and Forms

Fall is the best season to consider a fringe anyways and an absolute must for this particular fall! Worry not, as there is no special fringe-trend you have to bow to, although you will have to commit to keeping them perfectly groomed and styled! Not a bad change to consider in the beginning of a new season, huh? Well, I’d say go for it!

Which one of these fall hair trends are you going to embrace and work into a perfectly trendy hairstyle for fall? Any one of these fall trends will give you an overall look that says, “Yup, I know, ‘Wow’ is my middle name." I’ll definitely give a deep side part a go and do my best to incorporate a few statement accessories into my hairstyles.
