25 Fall Hairstyles For Long Hair That Make Every Inch Of Length Worth It

Okay, long hair clients ask me the same question every fall: what do I actually do with all this length once it’s not beach season anymore? And honestly, this is when long hair gets to really show off, big braids, dramatic waves, updos with real volume.

These are the 25 looks I keep doing on long hair this season, grouped by category so you can find your exact vibe. If your hair sits somewhere in between, my medium length fall hairstyles roundup might actually be the better fit.

Save your favorite, and let all that length finally earn its keep.

Long Loose Waves

This is the look everyone pictures when they think “fall hair,” big, soft waves that move with every step.

Long Braided Styles

Long hair gives you so much more to work with on a braid, thicker plaits, more intricate patterns, styles that just wouldn’t have the same impact on shorter hair.

Long Hair Updos

The best part about updos on long hair is the volume you can build in, low buns that actually look full, not flat.

Long Hair Half-Up Styles

A half-up on long hair gets to be a little more dramatic, more volume up top, more length hanging down to show off.
