Fall hair trends: how to style hair extensions for the autumn season

3 min read

As the leaves start to change color and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to switch up your hair routine to match the cozy, warm vibes of autumn. Fall is all about rich hues, soft textures, and stylish layers, making it an ideal season to experiment with new hairstyles. If you’re wearing hair extensions—or thinking about getting some—there are plenty of trendy ways to style them for the season. Whether you’re after length, volume, or added color, hair extensions can help you achieve the perfect fall look.


Here are some of the best fall hair trends and how you can style your hair extensions to get in on the autumn aesthetic.

1. Warm, Rich Colors

Fall is all about warm tones—think deep browns, auburn, and caramel. If you’re not ready for a full-color change, balayage hair extensions are perfect for adding those fall hues without the commitment.

Balayage hair extensions, in particular, are perfect for fall. The gradient effect of balayage creates a natural, sun-kissed look with lighter ends and darker roots. It’s a subtle way to introduce warmer tones to your hair, adding depth and dimension that’s perfect for the season.

2. Loose Waves and Curls

Loose, beachy waves may be synonymous with summer, but softer waves and curls are just as stylish for fall. The relaxed texture pairs perfectly with cozy fall sweaters and scarves, giving you an effortless yet chic look.

If you’re using clip-in or tape-in hair extensions, creating waves is a breeze. Simply curl your natural hair and the extensions together with a curling iron or wand for a seamless blend. For a more natural, undone look, brush through the curls with your fingers after curling to loosen them up.

3. Low Ponytails

Ponytails are a go-to hairstyle for their simplicity and versatility, and they’re especially trendy this fall. A sleek, low ponytail paired with hair extensions gives you that extra length and volume for an elevated look.

To achieve a flawless low ponytail, gather your natural hair and hair extensions at the nape of your neck, securing it with a hair tie. For a polished finish, take a small section of hair and wrap it around the base of the ponytail to conceal the hair tie.

Want to add a fall twist? Tie a velvet scrunchie or a silk scarf around your ponytail for a touch of autumn-inspired elegance. It’s a simple way to take a classic hairstyle and make it fall-ready.

4. Braids with Hair Extensions

Braids never go out of style, but they’re especially popular during the fall when you can rock cozy, layered outfits with intricate hairstyles. Hair extensions make it easy to create fuller, more voluminous braids that are perfect for this season.

One trendy option is the side-swept braid. To achieve this look, gather your hair and extensions to one side and braid it loosely for a soft, romantic effect. You can even incorporate some of those warm autumn colors by using balayage hair extensions or adding in a few temporary highlights.

5. Messy Buns and Top Knots

Fall is all about cozy, comfortable vibes, and nothing says effortless chic like a messy bun or top knot. Hair extensions can make these styles look fuller and more voluminous, perfect for those days when you want a stylish yet easy look.

To create a voluminous messy bun, gather your hair and extensions into a loose ponytail, twist it around the base, and secure it with bobby pins. Pull out a few strands in the front for that effortlessly undone look.

For a top knot, simply gather your hair into a high ponytail, wrap it around itself, and secure it with pins. Extensions will give you that full, thick look, making your top knot look more polished even when it’s styled to be messy.

6. Layered Looks

Layering isn’t just for your wardrobe this fall—it’s a major trend for hair too. If you want to create dimension and movement, consider adding layers to your hair extensions. Layered extensions can give your hair a softer, more natural look while adding volume and length.

Whether you’re styling your hair down, in waves, or in a braid, layers add texture and interest, making your hairstyle look more dynamic and effortless.
