To inspire you this season, we asked hairstylists to share their favorite fall hairstyles, with options for all lengths and textures. Trust us, they’re cuts you’re guaranteed to fall for (sorry). To achieve the most volume where your hair frames your face, direct strands away from your face. At the top of your head, direct the hair upwards and toward your face, which makes it take the most flattering shape when it falls back. And since heat is damaging, apply a hair oil or leave-in conditioner after styling to inject needed moisture back into your strands. You can go extreme à la Miley Cyrus with her short fringe or with more modern “mermaid layers,” a much longer version of the look while keeping the shorter layers around the face. Either way, it’s the perfect look for a wash-and-wear approach, with minimal maintenance and free-falling layers. To achieve the look, prep with a texturizing spray to infuse grit and hold, ensuring hair maintains its shape. For the feathered look, blow hair out around the face and direct a round brush so it’s in line with the hair line, brushing and blowing away from the face for the ’70s swoop. Polko adds that jaw clips specifically are having a major moment. “To style a jaw clip, work hair back into a low pony, leaving out a couple strands in the front, then twist up and lock it in around your thumb for the perfect twist. Clip in place and finish off with a spritz of texture spray on the unsecured front pieces for added texture and hold,” she says.
