21 Fall Hairstyles for Medium Length Hair

Fall is here, and your hair is probably begging for a seasonal upgrade. You are tired of your summertime look, I bet. Good news, my friend, because I am about to spill the beans on the best 21 Fall Hairstyles for Medium Length Hair that are simple to achieve and perfect for crunching leaves or sipping pumpkin spice lattes. You will thank me later.

Half-up Half-down Twist

This style is seriously a go-to for me when I want to look put-together without much effort.

You just grab two small sections from the front of your hair, twist them back, and pin them.

It gives you a little bit of elegance without feeling too formal.

I think it looks super cute with a chunky sweater.

This look is fantastic for showing off your face while keeping some hair down.

Simple Straight with Curtain Bangs

I am a huge fan of curtain bangs because they frame your face so nicely.

Pair them with simple straight hair, and you have got a classic, chic look that never goes out of style.

You do not need any fancy tools, just a good flat iron and a brush.

This hairstyle makes you look polished without trying too hard.

Plus, the bangs grow out gracefully.

Beachy Waves

Who said beachy waves are only for summer?

I love wearing them in the fall because they add a relaxed, effortless vibe to any outfit.

Just use a curling iron or even a flat iron to create a loose wave, leaving the ends a little straight.

This style works great with medium-length hair, giving it volume and movement.

You will look like you just woke up perfectly styled.

Low Ponytail with Volume

A low ponytail can be boring, but not when you add volume, my friend.

Tease the crown of your hair before gathering it at the nape of your neck.

Pull out a few face-framing pieces to soften the look.

This style is perfect for work or a casual day out.

I use a texturizing spray to give it that extra lift.

It looks sophisticated and feels comfortable.

Twisted Half-Up Bun

This is a twist on the classic half-up, half-down.

Instead of just pinning your hair, you gather the top section and twist it into a small bun.

It is chic and adds a bit of flair.

I like to let a few strands fall out around my face.

This style is perfect for showing off your pretty earrings.

Side-swept Bangs with Waves

If you have bangs, sweeping them to the side instantly changes your look.

Combine that with soft waves, and you have got a romantic and elegant hairstyle that is perfect for date night or a fall wedding.

I just use a round brush when blowing out my bangs to get that perfect sweep.

This style is surprisingly easy but looks very polished.

Braided Crown

The braided crown might look complicated, but it is actually quite doable.

You just create two braids on each side of your head and then pin them across the top like a crown.

It keeps your hair out of your face in a super pretty way.

This style is perfect for a whimsical fall look.

I get so many compliments when I wear this.

Tousled Lob

The lob, or long bob, is still super popular, and adding a little tousle makes it perfect for fall.

It is a messy but chic look that gives your hair great texture and body.

I use a texture spray and scrunch my hair to get this effect.

This style is low maintenance and always looks cool.

You cannot go wrong with a lob.

80s-Inspired Teased Hair

For a bit of fun, try some 80s-inspired teased hair.

You do not need to go full-on mall hair, just add some volume at the crown.

It is playful and gives your hair a lot of personality.

I use a teasing comb and a strong-hold hairspray.

This look is surprisingly wearable and super fun.

Soft Curls

Soft curls are romantic and delicate.

They are less defined than voluminous curls, giving a more natural, flowing look.

I achieve these using a wider barrel curling iron and brushing them out gently.

This style is perfect for a cozy fall day.

They make you look effortlessly beautiful.

Classic Blowout

You just cannot beat a classic blowout.

It gives your hair volume, shine, and a polished finish.

Use a round brush and your blow dryer to create smooth, bouncy hair.

It is a timeless look that always makes you feel good.

This is my go-to for special occasions.

Textured Waves

Textured waves are similar to beachy waves but often have a bit more grit or definition.

Think of that perfect “just woke up messy but cute” look.

I use a sea salt spray to enhance my natural texture.

This style is cool and effortlessly stylish.

Low Chignon

When you need to look sophisticated, a low chignon is your answer.

It is a fancy bun at the nape of your neck that instantly elevates your look.

You can make it sleek or slightly messy, depending on your vibe.

I usually pull out a few wisps around my face to soften the look.

This hairstyle is perfect for formal events.

Messy Bun

Let us be real, the messy bun is a lifesaver.

It is my ultimate go-to for those days when I just cannot be bothered.

You just gather your hair, twist it into a bun, and secure it, letting a few strands fall out.

This style is perfect for lounging around or running errands.

It gives off a very relaxed, yet still cute, vibe.

Headband with Loose Hair

Headbands are making a huge comeback, and I am here for it.

Put on a cute velvet or knitted headband with your hair down and loose.

It adds a touch of charm and keeps your hair out of your eyes.

This simple accessory can transform your entire look.

I especially love headbands with a little sparkle for fall.

Side Braid

A simple side braid is perfect for when you want your hair out of the way but still want to look stylish.

You can do a regular three-strand braid or even a loose fishtail.

It is casual yet chic.

I often pull out a few pieces around my face to soften the look.

This style keeps your neck warm too.

Curtain Bangs with Loose Waves

Combine the best of both worlds: curtain bangs and loose waves.

This look is effortless and flattering on just about everyone.

The bangs frame your face beautifully while the waves add movement and softness.

I often just air-dry my hair partly and then add a few waves with my curling iron.

It is my favorite everyday look.

Half Ponytail with a Scrunchie

The scrunchie is back, baby, and it is perfect for a half ponytail.

Gather the top section of your hair into a pony and secure it with a cute fall-themed scrunchie––think velvet or plaid.

It is playful and retro.

This style adds a touch of fun to any outfit.

I own way too many scrunchies.

Layered Bob

A layered bob adds movement and volume to medium-length hair.

The layers create texture and prevent your hair from looking too heavy.

It is a very versatile cut that you can wear straight, wavy, or curled.

I think it looks super fresh and modern.

This cut is easy to style every morning.

Voluminous Curls

If you have natural curls, embrace them and make them voluminous.

If your hair is straight, use large barrel curling iron or hot rollers to create big, bouncy curls.

This style is glamorous and full of life.

I always use a good hairspray to hold them in place.

These curls make a statement.

Sleek and Straight

Sometimes, simple is best.

Super sleek, straight hair can look incredibly sophisticated and polished.

Use a good flat iron and a heat protectant to achieve this look.

This style screams elegance and confidence.

I run a little anti-frizz serum through my hair to make it extra shiny.
