Fall 2024 Hairstyles and Products for Color-Treated Hair
The Italian Bob
Sophisticated, timeless, yet totally effortless, the Italian bob is perfect for evoking an elevated, European-inspired fall look. Unlike other bob styles, this one features a deep side part and blunt ends for a chic, choppy texture.
To style this look, we recommend focusing on volume and gloss.
While our Volume Shampoo and Volume Conditioner are fabulous for everyday volume, you’ll get even more body and bounce with our Volume Blow Dry Spray and Super Plump Whipped Mousse. They both offer heat protection and color enhancement, so you’ll have hair health covered!
For gloss, use Cuticle Closer in the shower after shampoo and conditioner, then add Smooth Drops between wash days on dry and/or damp hair.
Baby Bangs
Have you been eyeing the baby bangs trend? With its academia-chic appeal, fall is a great time to give this look a whirl. They also draw attention to the eyes and pair well with lots of different hair lengths.
The key to styling baby bangs is focusing on texture. While Volume Blow Dry Spray helps with this on wash days, our Fiber Blast Texture Crème is perfect for adding separation and definition to dry hair. If you still need more volume, go back in with our Powder Fix Spray at the roots for extra lift!
Bedhead Curls (With a Curl Cut)
The easygoing ‘bedhead’ look is trending across the board, but we especially love it on curly hair. Though intentionally laid back, this look gets its glamor from strong, healthy curl patterns.
If you’re visiting the salon soon, asking for a curl cut can help you maximize your natural texture without too much fuss. If you’re working toward curly hair DIY-style, our Curl Shampoo, Curl Conditioner, and Tru Curl Enhancing Crème will save the day!
When you want a more stylized curly look, our Lift It Mousse and Super Plump Whipped Mousse will help with volume and shine.
Windswept Waves
Soft, fluid, and focused on natural hair texture, windswept waves exude a romantic vibe that gels perfectly with fall’s laid-back energy.
Because it’s both controlled and effortless, our go-to styler for this look is the Radically Smooth Taming Crème. With a level 2 hold and a super shiny finish, it tames and protects your natural texture for a calm, smooth finish! Use it on damp hair before blow drying or air drying.
If you need a root lift for a more ‘windswept’ finish, add a bit of Powder Fix Spray along dry roots.
The Traditional Blowout
On the other end of the casual spectrum, the 90s-style blowout offers a more polished take on fall hairstyling. Whether paired with a work outfit or cozy sweater, if you want to feel like the main character in a New York City rom-com, this one’s for you!
Volume, shine, and smoothness are the name of the game for classic blowouts. So, we recommend using Smooth Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner, followed by Moisture Styling Crème, Volume Blow Dry Spray, and Super Plump Whipped Mousse before blow drying.
If you struggle to achieve a healthy, smooth texture, consider a treatment like our fan-favorite Moisture Masque.
The Clean Girl Bun
The slicked-back bun looks amazing year-round, but it’s extra chic when paired with moody, autumnal outfits.
Before combing and tying everything back, use a dash or two of the Radically Smooth Taming Crème to prime your hair for all-day gloss and hold. Once everything’s in place, use our Rule Breaker Defining Wax to tame flyaways, ward off frizz, and add a shiny finish.
The Casual Ballet Bun
If the tight clean girl bun isn’t for you, perhaps a casual Hailey Bieber-inspired ballet bun will be! Whether for work, date night, or casual outings, this soft, feminine style offers laid-back elegance.
This one also works well with different face shapes; it can also be placed at the nape of the neck to highlight the jawline or high at the crown to flatter your cheekbones. To style, use a lightweight styling cream like Plush Locks Leave-In Smooth for fluidity and a flexible-hold hairspray like All Around Working Hairspray to maintain the shape without stiffness.
Sleek Single Braids (With Coquette Bows)
Looking for something a bit more dressy? If you have long hair, a high, sleek, single braid blends vintage charm with a flirty, stylish vibe – especially when topped with a statement bow!
For maximum gloss and minimal flyaways, start with a smoothing serum like Moisture Styling Crème or Plush Locks Leave-In Smooth on damp hair. As you pull everything back, our Texture Charge Defining Finishing Spray will lock your hair in place. You can also use it to tease the top of your pony for an extra voluminous braid.
For extra fall theming, be sure to select a dark, velvety bow!
