Okay, can we talk about how “cute” is doing a lot of work this season? It’s not just pretty, it’s playful, a little unexpected, the kind of hairstyle that makes you smile when you catch yourself in a window reflection. That’s the energy behind this whole roundup.
Fall gives you so much to play with, ribbon, clips, warm color underneath, cooler weather that actually holds a curl. I pulled together 25 of the cutest fall hairstyles I’ve done this season, grouped by the detail that makes each one so fun.
Save the ones that make you grin a little. Those are always the right ones to book.
Cute Half-Up Styles
A half-up with a little something extra, a twist, a clip, a bow, is the easiest way to make a normal day feel cuter. If you want the no-frills version of this same idea, I have more in easy fall hairstyles.
Cute Braided Details
A small braid tucked somewhere unexpected, along the part, framing the face, is such a cute way to dress up an otherwise plain style.
Cute Claw Clip Looks
The claw clip is basically a permanent fixture in my chair now, and it earns the spot. Five seconds and it instantly looks cute and pulled together.
Cute Curly and Wavy Styles
Texture is doing so much of the styling for you already this season, sometimes cute just means letting your natural pattern show off a little more than usual.
Cute Accessorized Looks
Scarves, ribbon, pearl clips, this is the section for anyone who wants their hair to feel like an outfit detail, not just hair.
