Fall Haircut Trends for 2024: The Looks You Need to Know

September 15 2024

With autumn just around the corner, now is the perfect time to refresh your look. Whether you're thinking of embracing something bold and new or simply enhancing your current style, the fall 2024 haircut trends are all about layering, shorter lengths, and versatile styles. From cropped bobs to whimsical waves, there's something for everyone this season. Here's a breakdown of the top haircuts you’ll want to try this fall:

The Crob (Cropped Bob)

While it might seem counterintuitive to go shorter when the temperatures drop, the crob (cropped bob) is a perfect way to give your hair a fresh start for the season. It’s not quite a pixie, but shorter than a traditional bob—making it a modern, chic option for anyone looking to update their look without committing to ultra-short hair.

Inspired by the ‘90s, this style gives you a playful, textured look with wispy ends that add movement throughout the hair. It’s the ideal cut if you’re not ready for a pixie but want something shorter and manageable. Plus, a shorter cut now will give you the flexibility to let it grow out by next summer when tying your hair back becomes a priority.

• Best for: Those looking to add texture and movement to their style while keeping a length that’s short but still versatile.

Nara Bob

For those looking for something sleek and sophisticated, the Nara bob is a standout trend this fall. This strong, one-length bob with a deep side part offers chic, effortless glamour with minimal maintenance. The clean lines of the bob give it a polished look, while the slight layering ensures it’s easy to style and grows out naturally.

If you’re aiming for low-maintenance but high-impact, the Nara bob is an excellent choice. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a classic cut that still feels modern and fresh for the season.

• Best for: Those looking for a simple, elegant bob that’s easy to maintain and style.

Draped Fringes

Fall is definitely “bangs season,” and draped fringes (also known as curtain bangs) are here to stay. This cut offers a face-framing effect that highlights your cheekbones and jawline, while also trimming off sun-damaged ends from summer.

The beauty of draped fringes is in their versatility—they work with almost any haircut, from long flowing layers to shorter styles like the crob. They can be cut wispy for a softer look, or fuller to create a more dramatic frame around your face. Draped fringes are low-maintenance and easy to style, making them a go-to trend for the fall.

• Best for: Those wanting to change up their look without a major chop—perfect for anyone hesitant to commit to a full fringe.

Tailored Midi

The tailored midi cut is the ideal solution for those who want to keep some length but still want the sleekness of a bob. It’s the ultimate in-between style—offering enough length to style your hair up while maintaining the crispness of a blunt bob.

The beauty of the tailored midi is in its versatility. You can keep it blunt for a clean, sophisticated look or add layers for more movement and texture. This cut works especially well with natural texture, making it perfect for wavy or curly hair. Plus, the tailored midi gives your hair a healthy, thick appearance, while still being easy to maintain.

• Best for: Those who want a medium-length cut that balances the polish of a bob with the versatility of longer hair.

Billowy Lengths

If you’re someone who loves long, flowing hair, the billowy lengths trend is perfect for you. This season, long hair is getting a soft, romantic makeover with plenty of movement and layers. Expect to see "butterfly layering"—a popular technique that adds texture and volume while keeping the length intact.

Billowy lengths give you the flexibility to create different looks, from tousled waves to sleek styles. The face-framing pieces add dimension, while the layers ensure your long hair doesn’t feel heavy or flat. It’s all about effortless, airy movement that works well for fall’s cooler weather.

• Best for: Anyone with long hair looking to add some dimension and volume without sacrificing length.

Fluffy, Textured Curls

Autumn is the season when curls and waves really come into their own. As the air cools, there’s less humidity to battle, making it the perfect time to embrace your natural texture. One of the key trends this fall is "cloud curls"—fluffy, airy, and full of volume.

This style celebrates natural-looking, textured waves or curls with an ethereal, carefree vibe. The soft, teased curls add a youthful energy to any look, making them perfect for both long and short styles. You can enhance this look with a texturizing spray or styling powder to achieve the signature voluminous, fluffy finish.

• Best for: Those with naturally curly or wavy hair, or anyone looking to add playful texture and volume to their style.
