Autumn 2026 hair trends highlighted

Squares, 70s-inspired lengths and warm colors are dominating salons for the autumn 2026 hair trends, as presented by experts from Vogue US. Between 18 ideas and targeted advice, it's up to individuals to find the hair renewal that suits them.

Simple changes for a fresh look

Want to change your look without renewing your entire wardrobe? In autumn, a new haircut or a different color can be enough to give your style a fresh touch. For the autumn 2026 hair trends, professionals are focusing on easy-to-wear cuts, retro inspirations and natural hair movement.

Expert insights from Vogue

In an article published on October 12, 2026 in Vogue, journalist Audrey Noble presents 18 trends identified among celebrity stylists. Squares, graduated cuts, bangs, braids and warm colors: there are options for all lengths and all textures. The goal is to find a hairstyle that one likes, that suits them, and that remains easy to maintain on a daily basis.

Square cuts remain popular

The square remains a safe choice. It comes in several versions: a graduated bob for a Parisian style, a flexible square that moves naturally, a very straight cut or a lob, which reaches the level of the collarbones. For those who want to make a radical change, the short and smooth square is also an option.

Retro-inspired cuts return

Do you prefer to keep your lengths? The shag, a graduated cut inspired by the 1970s, is making a return in a more modern version. The 1990s-inspired graduated cuts are also in trend. They frame the face and give movement to the hair.

Long hair stays in style

Very long hair remains in honor. "Think very long hair, in full health, with texture," advises stylist Dindi Hojah in Vogue. David von Cannon shares this view: according to him, lengths are particularly beautiful when they maintain their natural movement, without being too worked on.
