We’ve rounded up the top 7 autumn hairstyles that strike the perfect balance between cute and practical. They’re quick to create and make you feel like you’ve got your life together (even if you’re just running out the door with your pumpkin spice latte). Here’s why these hairdos deserve a permanent spot on your seasonal style inspo board!
Nothing says “I’m ready for sweater weather” quite like a perfectly imperfect bun. This style gives you that ballerina vibe with just the right amount of casual texture.
Start with a high ponytail, then distribute your hair around its base to cover the elastic and secure the hair with a hair tie to get a ballerina bun. Fluff things up a bit to add volume. Take the ends and twist them around the bun for extra texture and dimension. That’s it!
Sometimes you want the braided look without all the actual braiding work, right? This clever style delivers major visual interest with minimal effort.
To begin with, create a low topsy tail using your top hair section. Next, divide the bottom section into two parts and bring them up to tie them around the tail. Flip your locks over one more time and add a colorful ribbon for a cute finishing touch.
If you love vintage-inspired looks or you’re always running late but still want to look intentional, this style is your new best friend!
The claw clip is back and better than before. This autumn favorite takes seconds to create but looks like you spent actual time on your hair.
Start with a half ponytail, then create a loop bun and split it into two sections to attach the claw clip. For bonus points, curl your locks beforehand for extra texture and dimension.
This style is made for medium to thick hair that needs something that holds all day. So, get ready to reach for the look on repeat!
Here’s a twist on the classic braid that feels fresh and modern. The topsy-tail element adds unexpected texture that makes this style stand out.
Tie half your hair up, then loosen the elastic and flip the hair over to make a topsy tail. Separate the rest of your locks into two sections and braid as a regular braid. Pull at the outside strands to add volume and that signature undone finish.
The style works for layered hair and is also great for second-day hair when you need to refresh your ‘do quickly.
Embrace your natural texture with this style that celebrates curls and waves in all their glory. Start by sectioning off the front tendrils, then tie the top section into a half-up bun.
To make the bun look messy and voluminous, tie the ends into the bun by securing them with an elastic. This way, you’ll keep your tresses out of your face while showing off your natural curl pattern.
When you’re jumping between errands and autumn celebrations, this elevated ponytail delivers. To recreate the style, start with a ponytail, then separate the top section and braid it. Gather all of your hair (braid included) together and add clear elastics along the length to create that signature bubble braid effect.
The hairdo shines for any occasion that calls for something a bit more dressed up. The braid detail adds elegance while the bubbles keep things fun and modern.
Creating your own headband out of your actual hair? Genius. This style gives you that accessorized look without needing to own a single headband.
To get the look, section off the top layer of your hair. Grab the section below one ear and braid it, then flip it to the opposite side. Repeat on the other side to shape a headband. Cover everything with the top layer for a seamless look. It enhances both straight and slightly wavy hair types.
Give these styles a try and see which ones become your autumn go-tos. Each one takes under 10 minutes once you get the hang of it, which means you can actually fit them all into your weekly schedule!
