Half-up Top Knot
Fall crept up on us right when we were trying to figure out what to wear for this windy warm weather. Instead of saying no to shift to autumn – as much as we loved summer, this season is perfect for treating ourselves to a haircut or a small effortless update. We found some tips from famous L.A. stylists, and they gave us a few ideas on what are the looks for this fall.
We’ve added some ideas for different lengths, textures, but also focused on easy to arrange styles to make you look great until that winter update.
What better hairstyle examples than the ones chosen by celebrities’ stylists? Margot Robbie’s style combines two classics we love, one of which we used a lot during the hot summer: the top knot. Now that we can stand hair touching out the neck, we can release half of it and let it frame our pretty features!
Secure the top know with a ponytail holder to make sure it stays up. Talking about face-framing…
Let the Breeze Hit You!
These flattering face-framing layers will complement the autumn breeze, and it works on any face shape. Plus, it makes you look like a modern-day Pocahontas with leaves flowing around you, and the volume screams “beauty” and “healthy locks”! This look was made by the famous LA stylist Sal Salcedo.
Go Back to the 60s
The perfect romantic look for this autumn is the classic ‘60s hairstyle which has a sleek, smooth look, with a flip out at the ends. Lily Collins and Zendaya rocked this look on the red carpet and it works with medium length and shoulder length hair. If your hair is already that long, you’ll just have to add shape and dimension.
At The Paris Fashion Week
Alanna Arrington spotted at Paris Fashion Week wore her curls natural, freshly washed and with little to no other intervention. If your hair is that curly #6, you can adjust the look while it’s wet to untangle it and add some styling cream to stay like that. The girls with straight hair can air dry and use a curling iron to add some curls in different directions for a natural look.
Fake Bangs
If you’re not ready to commit to bangs, you can easily make new ones by flipping part of your long hair from the back of your head and put the rest up in a knot, just like Chrissy Teigen did. You will need a wide comb and some bobby pins to hold it all together and voila!
The next hairstyle is for the more courageous women…
Blunt Bobs
The lob is dead, and stylist Silvestera cannot agree more, adding that “Women who became comfortable going from long hair to mid-length hair have now built up enough courage to go shorter.” Which really makes sense, right? You have a medium length hair and want to update your hairstyle? Well, you can’t cut it long, so go shorter…
And for those with super long hair, this hairstyle rocks!
The Low Braid
We love braids, Logan Browning and Camila Cabello made the low braid so popular that it’s going to be a hit this fall, explains stylist Hawkins, adding some tips on how to get the look: “brush or comb your hair into a low ponytail when it’s still wet.” You should also apply some hair oil on its length to give it a nice shine.
We also found a fun way to add some style to braided locks.

9. Add Some Color

Even though it’s autumn and everything seems to turn into shades of brown: nature, clothes, hair shades… But you can liven up your hair with some pastel colors as the temperatures start to cool down. Lucy Hale wore it before going back to being a brunette, but we have a feeling her hairstylist Kristin Ess will change it again.
