Just to be clear, this doesn't mean summer beach waves are moving into the new season, and according to celebrity hairstylist Tommy Buckett, that's a good thing. “Beach Waves” [can] are unattainable for some, so if we want to achieve this style, we need to achieve it in a more realistic way, such as working with natural texture and using polishing tongs.”

Instead, this means you'll see shorter haircuts, throwback styles, feathered bangs, and more. From relaxed, simple and chic layers to the straight bobs that celebrities love, there's a haircut to suit everyone's tastes. “Always remember that we have to start with the hair type and face shape to make sure the look suits them too,” says Kitazato.

Either way, Buckett says, “Hair is fun and an accessory to our personality. Don’t get stuck in a rut, doing the same thing you always do.” To help you get ready for your next appointment, keep reading to discover the coolest approved haircut trends to try this fall.
