29 Short Hairstyle Ideas for Fall—From Pixie Cuts to Bouncy Bobs



When fall nears, we always feel compelled to refresh our hairstyle. While some of us may choose to experiment with a new color, some of us prefer to enter into a new season with a transformative haircut. If you fall into the latter camp, there are plenty of short styles worth considering once autumn arrives. From pixie cuts to bouncy bobs, we've rounded up 29 short hairstyle ideas for fall. See all of the looks ahead.



01 of 29

Grown-Out Pixie

If summer was your season to lose length, let fall be a time to have fun with the regrowth. That stage between haircuts tends to feel awkward, but this grown-out pixie proves it doesn't have to be. Keeping your undercut intact while the top of your hair grows out can make something as simple as a side parting extremely flattering and edgy.

Slicked-Back Bob

A slicked-back look on shorter lengths is chic and easy to achieve. If this is the preferred way of wearing your short hair, ask your stylist to taper around the ears to help the hair lay flat. Use a strong hold gel to achieve the glossy, wet-look finish.



03 of 29

Micro Bob and Bangs

Pairing micro bangs with a micro bob is an excellent option if you want your haircut's shape to be the focal point. Angular cuts can offer a great contrast to rounder face shapes.

Closely Cropped Coils

If you've recently big chopped, let your short coils shine by adding color. This golden blonde shade is a perfect choice for fall.



05 of 29

A-Line Undercut

Undercuts are perfect for thick hair, as they prevent the upper length from appearing too dense. Mixing that technique with an a-line bob will add more dimension to the haircut.



06 of 29

Natural Waves

Those with naturally wavy hair should consider keeping a little bit of length and layers in order to accentuate the movement their hair naturally has. You can use a volumizing mousse for day-to-day styling to softly accentuate your texture.



07 of 29

Chill Factor

Add a little chill to your short hairstyle with a cool-toned color. The trick to keeping your blonde hair icy is toner and at-home treatment. Using shampoos and conditioners made for color-treated hair at home will help preserve that desired tone.

Deep Side Part Pixie

Short hair doesn't mean you can't crank up the glam. Keeping your length longer on top of your pixie cut allows for added volume, giving you a lifted and dramatic look. Complete your voluminous blowout with a deep side part to further enhance the style.



09 of 29

Full and Fluffy Pixie

Tousled pixie cuts have an effortlessly chic look, precisely what we want during the fall. This full and fluffy style requires little styling, as it's all about letting your natural texture shine.

Finger Waves

Finger waves are an art form that takes practice to perfect, but the results are worth it. To achieve the look, you'll need a rat-tail comb, mousse or gel, and a bonnet hair dryer.



11 of 29

Rockstar Pixie

The beauty of a pixie cut is that the styling options are endless. This one gives off a rockstar vibe with its deep face-covering bangs and tousled texture.



12 of 29

Wispy Pixie

Wispy bangs are timeless, so they're fitting for fall and beyond. They help to remove weight from thicker hair and add tons of movement to finer hair.



13 of 29

Feathered Pixie

A feathered hairline is perfect for fall weather. It adds a subtle flair and movement to an ultra-short pixie cut.



14 of 29

Blunt Mushroom Bob

There's no such thing as a boring bob, as there are many ways to make the look your own. This take incorporates blunt bangs and curled-under ends, giving this mushroom bob a unique look.



15 of 29

Brushed-Out Curly Bob

When your bob grows to a mid-length cut, adding curls will help conceal some length. Brush your curls out slightly with a boar bristle brush for added shape and volume.



16 of 29

Multi-Layered Curled Pixie

Copper continues to be one of the trendiest colors for fall. The depth of the reddish shade is rich and warm, adding an alluring quality to any hairstyle (especially this layered pixie cut).



17 of 29

Side-Swept Ringlets

A side-swept pixie is perfect for showing off curly ringlets. Using a lightweight cream or mousse will ensure your curls hold their shape.



18 of 29

Bright Red Pixie

Bright red is a bold color synonymous with fall. Since the fiery shade requires frequent maintenance, a short hairstyle, like a pixie cut, is the perfect canvas.



19 of 29

Over-Directed Bob

Over-directed side parts on bob-length hairstyles can help open up the face without needing to add layers. Tucking the ends under with a curling iron can add body and bounce to the shoulder-length style.



20 of 29

Slicked-Back Pearly Pixie

Experimenting with cuts and colors isn't the only way to dress up your hair for fall. This is a great time of year to pull out the hair accessories, like pearls. Even the shortest of lengths can deck out the parts of the hair with dainty gems.



21 of 29

Shaggy Layers

If you have fine hair and want a refresh this season, consider shaggy haircuts. Loaded with layers, this piecey style will naturally give your hair more character and edge. Adding a fringe into the mix is another easy way to elevate your look, providing the illusion of thickness.



22 of 29

Timeless Tousled Pixie

Tousled texture never goes out of style, and we love seeing it on shorter lengths in the fall. Top-heavy pixies can quickly apply a thickening spray and texture cream to their hair to achieve an effortlessly elegant finish.



23 of 29

Natural Shape

Natural texture holds shape easily and well; this boxy cut is a stunning example. Apply your favorite leave-in conditioner and oil to keep your coils moisturized.



24 of 29

Retro Flippy Bob

If you love vintage hairstyles, like a flippy bob, take this as a sign to sport them this fall. This version features gorgeously sculpted bangs, flippy ends, and tons of shine.



25 of 29

Golden Blonde Curls

The beauty of all-over golden blonde on shorter lengths is that you don't need any other contrast or highlight. This is an all-over tone that's rich, warm, and on shorter styles—totally self-sufficient.



26 of 29

Face-Framing Bob

Deciding where your bob falls is important. Shorter lengths like this are made to graze the jawline, helping to highlight the structure of your face.



27 of 29

Chunky Highlighted Bob

A heavy-handed application of highlights can help take your bob from summer to fall. The chunky streaks of golden color add warmth and dimension to the shoulder-grazing haircut.



28 of 29

Piecey Pixie

With short structured haircuts, there are plenty of styling options to keep your style playful. Applying texture creams and pomades and running your hands through your hair will help you achieve a piecey, wispy look in the front.


29 of 29

Edgy Shullet

Shullets are shaggy mullets that maintain a short look in the front and a longer length in the back. This edgy style works for those with fine, thin strands (as seen here), but those with thicker, textured hair will also love the unique shape a shullet offers.
