Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

With temperatures cooling down, there’s no better time than now to switch up your look. Box braids carried us through the sweltering months of summer, but there’s a fresh crop of hairstyles on the horizon, and they’re fun, fierce, and fabulous.

This fall we’ll see everything from polished ponytails, to blunt bangs, but nothing has us more excited than the fresh hair colors coming our way. Beautiful brown hues will take center stage, and the shades are just right for stealing the spotlight.

It’s out with the old and in with new. If you’re ready to step into fall with the season’s coolest hairdos, check them out in the gallery below.
