      1. **Asymmetrical Bob**

      First on the list is the returning asymmetrical bob. “Asymmetry is gaining popularity, and I believe we’ll see more of it this autumn, especially around fashion week,” notes Seeley. “I adore asymmetry in a bob style; keeping one side longer provides an edgier vibe and it can be styled in various textures.” For styling, Seeley suggests using a high-quality shine spray to smooth out flyaways and impart a salon-quality gloss to the ends.

      2. **Classic Pixie**

      Next up is the classic pixie cut. “The pixie is making a comeback,” Seeley states. “We’ve seen numerous variations over the years, but the classic short crop is truly gaining momentum. It’s cool, effortless, and chic, whether worn sleek and smooth or styled with some texture.” Seeley adds that for those skilled at styling, a pixie cut looks fantastic with finger waves, deep-set partings, or creative touches on the edges or baby hairs for a more feminine appeal.

      3. **Midi Styles**

      Not ready to go super short this season? Consider a trendy midi-length hairstyle instead. “Midi-length hairstyles are gaining traction for autumn,” says Seeley. “This style is understated, chic, and minimalist without being overly complicated. It’s a fun first step from long to short, making a noticeable change.” For those with finer hair, Seeley suggests this length can help make strands appear thicker and fuller. “A bit of layering is essential in my view, keeping it effortless and low-maintenance.” For styling, try a volumizing mousse to ensure your look lasts all day.

      The Italian bob has remained stylish for a while, and it shows no signs of fading this autumn. “[This trend is] extremely versatile and can be worn in numerous ways—sleek, voluminous, textured, and glam,” shares Seeley. The secret to an Italian bob lies in the styling. This look emphasizes movement and bounce and is often longer than styles like the French or micro bob for a more playful finish.
