If the past couple seasons have been focused on embracing natural texture and no-fuss hairstyles, fall 2024 is gearing up to be all that and a little something extra. Kicking off a new season calls for fresh starts of all kinds, making it the perfect time for fall 2024 hair trends to guide us straight to the salon for a new haircut or hair color. Because it’s never too late to switch up your look this year!
Low-maintenance styling is being taken up a notch with statement-making cuts that do all the work and call back to past eras and decades. If you’ve been wanting to make a chop, there are shaggy layers, blunt fringe, and retro styles just waiting to be shorn. We’re talking modern updates on vintage bobs, bangs, and long cuts, too.
Here are the trendy haircuts you’ll be seeing everywhere for fall 2024.
