The same way many of us transition some of our basic clothing items like t-shirts, jeans, and jewelry from season to season, we can apply this same concept to some of our beloved warm-weather hairstyles. Below, we’re showing you how you can “autumnize” your hairstyles from last season. Read on for our top transitional hair trends for the fall season:
Summer to Fall: Transitional Hair Trends for the Fall Season
1. The summer braid becomes the fall plait.
During the summer, it was all about braids that felt appropriate for a music festival or outdoor BBQ. For fall, it’s time to turn the style down a notch. We’re not making it any less fancy, but instead, we’re advocating a classier spin on the look. You know, so they’re actually easy enough to achieve on a rushed workday morning. Oh, and not to mention, still look somewhat profesh at the office. To start off the list of easy transitional fall trends, try the low Dutch braid chignon. Create two Dutch braids in your hair and twist the ends into a low bun. If you’re going for texture, tease the ends of your braid by backcombing before creating the bun. Pin in place, give your style a spritz of Love Beauty and Plant Light Hold & Frizz Control Coconut Milk & White Jasmine Light Hold Hair Spray, and pair it up with your favorite work-friendly outfit.
2. The beach wave becomes the breezy fall wave.
Nope, you won’t be able to get straight-from-the-beach hair waves. But your little friend, that beach-in-a-bottle salt spray, may be able to help. On clean, damp hair, spray Bed Head by TIGI Queen Beach Salt-Infused Texture Spray to the lengths of your hair and scrunch. Use a diffuser to dry, and set with a lightweight finishing spray, like Nexxus Between Washes Air Life Dry Texture Finishing Spray.
3. The wet look becomes the sleek and shiny bun.
Walking out the door with wet hair during the fall season may not be a great idea unless you’re planning on calling out sick from work. This season, take advantage of all the shine your hair serum has to offer. That’s why shine serums exist, girlfriend! Apply a few drops of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to your palms and rub them together to warm the product up. Run your hands through your hair, then use a fine-toothed comb to distribute the product evenly. Take a boar-bristled brush, smooth the base of your hair, and then gather into a low bun. Apply more serum to your hair for added shine to create the illusion of the wet hair look. There you have it: wet (but not super wet) hair perfect for the fall season.
4. Curly Lob with Bangs
If you have natural hair, opt to let your curls loose. Feel free to change up your style by adding bangs. With the cooler weather, now is the time to wear your hair down as much as possible.
5. Colored Braids
If you like wearing braids, switch up the color with a fall-inspired hue. Instead of bright bold colors, opt for a darker shade like burgundy.
