There was a time when beauty brands stayed in their respective lanes. Makeup brands made makeup.

There’s something about fall that makes a haircut necessary. Maybe it’s the return of heavy clothes after months of dressing in a heat wave, or maybe hair simply starts cooperating again once humidity stops running the show. Either way, this season’s biggest hair trends are all about making your existing look a little more interesting. Bangs are getting fuller, layers are shaggier and a deeper brown is emerging as the color of the season. Even crimped hair is back, though thankfully, it looks nothing like the aggressively zigzagged version you may remember from the early aughts. Below, the five fall hair trends worth knowing. Meet The Experts Eric Marshall Wright is a hairstylist and the owner of Eric Marshall Salon. He specializes in cutting and styling. Alex Pardoe is a celebrity hairstylist known for his work in cutting, styling and hair color. Lacy Redway is a TRESemmé Partner and celebrity hairstylist whose work spans red carpets, editorial and fashion. 1. Cloud Bangs Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock If you’ve been flirting with bangs all summer, fall is the time to finally do it. Cooler, less humid weather makes fringe considerably easier to manage, particularly if you live somewhere where summer humidity can turn a carefully styled bang into an entirely different haircut by lunchtime. “Fall is the best time for giving bangs a try,” says Eric Marshall Wright, Stylist and Owner at Eric Marshall Salon , who notes that humidity can make them particularly fussy during the summer. “A fringe or bang can make you look styled and undone at the same time,” he says. “You can just style your bangs and pull your hair up to look chic.” This season, he recommends going fuller rather than wispy. Cloud bangs are a soft, featherlight, fringe that offers an airy update on traditional curtain bangs . Before making the cut, however, your stylist should take your hairline, cowlicks and any areas of recession into consideration, since bangs tend to have a mind of their own. For a softer finish, ask your stylist to point-cut the ends rather than creating one blunt line. 2. Shaggy Layers Lisa O'Connor/Zuma/Shutterstock The ultra-polished blowout isn’t disappearing, but fall’s coolest layers look better when they’re slightly messed up. Think movement around the face with choppy lengths. To get the look, ask your stylist for disconnected or heavily textured layers, particularly around the face, and talk about how you actually wear your hair before they start cutting. The best version should work with your natural texture rather than requiring a completely new styling routine. 3. Burnished Copper Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/Shutterstock “From soft strawberry copper to rich, fiery auburn, copper is shaping up to be one of fall’s biggest color trends,” says celebrity hairstylist Alex Pardoe . “The warm, dimensional shade offers a fresh way to make a statement without committing to a full red.” You don’t have to emerge from the salon with Little Mermaid-red hair to participate. Strawberry tones can warm up blondes, while brunettes can lean into deeper auburn and cinnamon shades. The most modern versions have dimension rather than reading as one flat block of orange-red color. If you’re nervous about commitment, ask your colorist about adding copper through a gloss or strategically placed highlights first. It gives you warmth without immediately overhauling everything. 4. Waterfall Layers Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock After seasons of bobs, shags and aggressively choppy cuts, longer, softer layers are making their way back in. Long layers offer movement and shape without sacrificing your length. To achieve the look, ask your stylist for long, blended layers with subtle face-framing pieces to give your hair body while keeping the perimeter looking full. And unlike a shag, which practically begs for texture, long layers work across straight, wavy and curly hair types. 5. Enchanted Crimps Image by TRESemmé Crimped texture is making another return, but it’s not quite the tiny, accordion-like crimps of your middle-school years. For the Christian Siriano NYFW SS ’27 show, TRESemmé Partner & Celebrity Stylist Lacy Redway created a crimped look inspired by folklore and modern fairy tales. Redway calls them “enchanted crimps,” and while the texture itself is uniform, the overall effect is more ethereal than the sharply defined crimps of decades past. If the look is too rigid for you, brush through the crimps to soften their definition and give the hair a fuller, slightly fuzzy texture while still preserving that distinctive rippled pattern.

I just got back from Paris , where hints of bright, almost orangey red were everywhere.

Last week, two women in their 60s and 70s made headlines for their faces. Vera Wang, aged 77, posted a makeup-free selfie from bed while home sick.

There are brands where shopping is fairly self-explanatory. You want a trench coat, you buy the trench coat. You want jeans, you choose your wash.

As a fashion editor, I've heard the rules of petite dressing approximately a million times. Wear high-waisted pants to elongate your legs.

We've reached the point where wearing a pair of shorts to the gym is enough to get you called a whore on national television.

I have a lot of jackets. Trench coats, leather bombers blazers denim jackets , you name it.
