The Lazy Girl’s Guide To The Best Fall Hair Trends

by Stephanie Montes

Let us guess, you hit snooze more times than you can count this morning? There’s nothing worse than making big plans for your hair, then running out of time to execute them. But we’re with you. Instead of choosing between beauty sleep and a great style, how about the best of both worlds? Ahead, the biggest hair trends for fall and our hacks for getting them fast.

Trend: Red Hair

The biggest hair color for fall is red—think born-this-way red over fire-engine hues. If you're not a natural redhead, achieve the shade easily by working a tinted deep conditioner into your shower routine. You'll get a believable color while also making your hair shiny and soft.

Trend: Headbands

They were all over the fall runways, and we're loving how easy it is to recreate the look. Bad-hair days can be saved with a sparkly number. Whether you're hiding second-day hair or dressing up a grown-out cut, slide on a headband before leaving the house.

Trend: Natural Texture

Curls reign supreme this fall. Skip the relaxers and let your natural hair take center stage. Work a deep conditioner into your routine—the more moisturized you keep your hair, the less styling you'll need to do (and the healthier it will be).

Trend: Messy Tendrils

Channel your inner Juliet with fine flyaways and wispy, windswept pieces. This kind of bedhead takes almost no effort and looks on trend. Neaten it up a bit by quickly curling a few face-framing pieces.

Trend: Black Bows

Soft velvet and matte grosgrain ribbons were the most popular way to dress up simple hairstyles on the fall runways. Next time you resort to a basic pony, slap on a bow to raise your cool-girl factor with almost no effort.
