4 Cool Haircuts You'll See This Fall, According to a Celebrity Hairstylist

Fall Haircut Trend: Shaggy Bob

The bob has lived many lives — first in the 1920s as a symbol of rebellion for women, then on just about every celebrity since. In the last year, that meant ends so blunt they might cut you, but this Fall's take on the trend is much softer.

"The bob is sticking around, but now we're seeing a shaggier bob," said Townsend. "The movement it gives the hair is almost flirty and youthful, and it's a haircut that works on every hair type and texture. A lot of the inspiration behind the transition from a blunt bob to a romantic bob is actress Lucy Boynton. She rocked the look throughout awards season this year and showed off how incredibly versatile a layered bob could be. She wore it up, she wore it down, straight and sleek, with very soft waves."

Fall Haircut Trend: Bangs Redux

Like clockwork, bangs seem to catch new wind every Fall, and this season is no different — only this time around, the cut isn't so one-size-fits-all like the peekaboo fringe or curtain bangs of yore.

"It's no longer about everyone running out and getting whatever the new bang trend is," he said. "Women are starting to really talk to their hairstylists and get the bangs that are right for their face shape, hair type, and how much time they are going to spend on their hair. I'm seeing bangs mostly on the lob or longer cuts. A great example is Zoe Chao, who I just worked with. She has this great lob with beautiful layers and then micro bangs, which makes the look so unbelievably cool."

Fall Haircut Trend: Boho Fresh

"Boho is making a comeback again with lots of '60s and '70s haircut inspiration," said Townsend. "We're seeing superlong lengths and lots of layers, which is my favorite. It's a trend that transitions really well from Summer to Fall because women are just getting a small trim to clean up the ends and then letting it grow even longer. All of the Olsens, but Mary-Kate and Ashley in particular, and Dakota Johnson are rocking this long, boho layered look. These layers make for a great messy ponytail, which is huge trend right now. When you pull all those layers back, especially when you have bangs, you get this face-framing fringe that's basically a whole a separate hairstyle."

Groovy, indeed.
