Summer is coming to an end and as we say goodbye to this season, we know what’s on your mind: What are the hair trends for fall 2024?!
Okay, maybe it’s not at the top of your list—maybe somewhere down under “reorganizing your closet for the colder months,” but hey, priorities! Let’s start with the beauty trends and save the trip to the storage room for later.
This fall, we’re all about low-maintenance looks. Shades like beachy brunette and ebony look amazing whether they’re freshly dyed and glossy or have settled in a bit. Cuts like curtain bangs, long layers and grown-out shags are perfect for breezy fall days—they look effortlessly cool no matter how much the wind ruffles them. And when it comes to styles, slicked-back buns and messy bedhead are the ultimate “set it and forget it” choices.
Espresso Brunette
Last year Espresso makeup The trend has dominated the beauty world and this fall, this deep, rich shade is making its way into hair. Espresso brown will be a great choice, especially as many people gravitate towards darker shades in cooler weather. This color suits everyone and compliments most skin tones beautifully. Welcome to the dark side.

This season, you can expect to see a lot of ruby wine – a deep, moody red that’s the perfect contrast to the bright, shimmering coppers of summer. This shade works best on darker hair, giving the red a rich, intense look. Lighter hair may see a bold, almost cherry red come through instead of the deep, sultry hue.

When the wind picks up, a low-maintenance style that stays put no matter how it falls is key. Curtain bangs are just that – relaxed bangs that are long enough to easily push to the side. Middle sections should be cut just below the brow and gradually get longer towards the sides. When in doubt, channel your inner Sabrina Carpenter, the curtain bang queen.

Auburn is the perfect cozy, nutty brown to complement those earthy fall tones. This warm, light brown shade looks classy on all skin tones and hair textures. If you’re feeling adventurous, you and your colorist can add subtle highlights to give the color more dimension and light.
Honey Gold

With the colder months approaching, it’s time for blondes to move on to something warmer. Honey gold is the ideal shade – it can be toned cool or warm depending on your skin tone. As it fades, it develops into a worn-out, rooty blonde that still looks stunning. Keep a blonde toner on hand to counteract brassy tones and maintain that golden glow.
Italian Bob

Just south of Paris, you’ll find the Italian bob – a slightly longer, more structured version of the classic French bob. This Sicilian-inspired cut falls just above the jawline, emphasizing shape, texture, and volume. Unlike the sleek French bob, the Italian version is sassy and easy to maintain. Let it dry naturally, blow-dry it with a few waves, or give it a slight curl with a hot tool for extra flair.
Long shifts

Long layers are the epitome of timeless beauty – they suit everyone, no matter the season or occasion. Imagine long, flowing hair cascading down like a waterfall, with soft layers gently moving in the wind. This Disney princess-style cut is making a big comeback this fall, but it’s important to keep your hair healthy and shiny. Incorporate a nourishing hair mask into your routine to maintain princess shine and softness.
Fiery Copper

The copper hair obsession is here to stay, with celebrities like Megan Fox, Sydney Sweeney and Halle Bailey at the forefront. This pumpkin-inspired shade will dominate this fall too. While it takes a little effort to achieve a vibrant copper, the results are undeniably stunning. Use color-safe products to keep your fiery copper looking fresh and vibrant.

There are countless ways to rock a pixie cut. A super short pixie looks amazing on textured or curly hair, while a little tousled length adds a playful twist. You can also opt for a deep side part with extra length on one side. Remember, a pixie cut requires regular maintenance, so be prepared for some light scissor work every four weeks or so.
The Rachel
Friends come and go, but The Rachel– the iconic haircut made famous by Jennifer Aniston’s character in Friends – has always been in style. This universally flattering cut, with its long layers and sweeping volume, is making a comeback this fall. Just don’t forget to ask for the face-framing strands in the front – they’re what make The Rachel unmistakable.
