The Hair Trends You Should Know From The Fall 2024 Runways

 

Fashion on runways undoubtedly commands attention, but hairstyles also play a pivotal role in defining a look’s success. They can elevate or detract from an ensemble, sometimes, even, more than makeup. If you’re searching for the latest hair trends to refresh your style, look no further than the fall 2024 runways.

The runways declared it was time to embrace drama, showcasing stylized hairdos like voluminous hair, slicked-back buns, and textured bobs. Each show was brimming with inspiration, offering a plethora of ideas to fill your phone’s storage. 

Ahead, we’ve put together some of these standout hair trends from the Fall 2024 fashion week runways.

While buns remain a timeless hairstyle, hairstylist Guido Palau showcased an elevated twist at the Milan Fall 2024 Fashion Week for Prada, setting a new standard of elegance, with a glass-like finish and distinctive edges. The models also flaunted radiant skin, skillfully crafted by the brand’s global makeup artist, Lynsey Alexander, matching the glass-like finish on their hair.

Christian Siriano’s Fall/Winter Show at the New York Fashion Week also witnessed a modern reinterpretation of sleek buns by Tresemmé partner and celebrity stylist Lacy Redway. Introducing ‘celestial box buns,’ Redway aimed to align with the reflective designs of Siriano’s collection. She sought a departure from the prevailing ballerina core trend, infusing a sense of fun and futurism through unique textures. 

Using the Dyson Supersonic from Dyson’s professional collection, Redway blow-dried the hair, creating a lightweight foundation. The styling process involved pulling the hair into a low ponytail, fashioning it into a square-shaped bun, and securing it with large bobby pins. 

From Miley Cyrus’ captivating Grammy appearance to the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter ’24 runway, larger-than-life hair is making a triumphant return.

Hairstylist Duffy crafted a Diana Ross-meets-doll aesthetic for Jacobs’ show at the New York Fashion Week, channeling the late ’60s and early ’70s disco era embodied by the Supremes. Loads of hairspray were used to achieve this luxurious, excess-filled look.

Meanwhile, at New York Fashion Week, Christian Cowan’s show, also featured “expensive, luxurious-looking” hair, emphasizing volume with the aid of extra-hold hairspray.

The allure of hair accessories persists, injecting a touch of glamour into various hairstyles. At New York Fashion Week, renowned hairstylist Lacy Redway redefined the traditional chignon for the LaQuan Smith Fall show, by ingeniously incorporating a classic No. 2 pencil, infusing a utilitarian charm. This innovative twist adds a unique and contemporary element to the timeless hairstyle.

At the Christian Siriano Fall/Winter ’24 show, the hairstylist continued her creative prowess, fashioning an adorned bun with refined sophistication. Striving to complement the luminosity of the collection, she meticulously adorned each bun and part with delicate specks of gold leaf.

Redway employed the cutting-edge Dyson Supersonic dryer to ensure the secure placement of the golden accents, showcasing a seamless fusion of artistry and technology.

The New York Fall 2024 Fashion Show witnessed a resurgence of slicked-back hairstyles, a trend potentially influenced by style icons such as Sofia Richie.

At Peter Do’s showcase for Helmut Lang, models rocked edgy and sleek hair, reminiscent of tousled windswept locks. Similarly, at Badgley Mischka, models flaunted chic and sophisticated, sleek low ponytails. Meanwhile, hairstylist Jimmy Paul opted for Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Silky Shine Spray at the Jason Wu fashion show, steering away from heavy gels to achieve a wet, slick aesthetic.

Adding to the trend, the Private Policy runway featured glossy and polished ponytails, striking a delicate balance between sophistication and a hint of a wet appearance.

Contrary to their intricate look, braids were effortlessly created at the LaPointe Fall/Winter 2024 show during New York Fashion Week. Hairstylist Joey George utilized molding wax to craft long braids and braided space buns, while Lacy Redway presented free-flowing braids, including a stunning braid crown, at the Blonds Fall/Winter ’24 show. The incorporation of a strong-hold gel played a vital role in securing the braids firmly in place.

The classic side part is coming back in 2024, coupled with contemporary trends like sleek hair, as witnessed on the Tory Burch Fall 2024 runway during New York Fashion Week.

Hairstylist Retrofête seamlessly combined the side-part trend with another major 2024 trend: a bouncy blowout, achieved effortlessly with the Dyson Airwrap for stunning curls without causing substantial damage to strands.

If you’re short on time and can’t fully dry your hair after a shower, learn from the Monse and Prabal Gurung models for a speedy solution to damp locks.

During the New York fashion week, at Monse, Kien Hoang, the principal artist of global design, crafted an elegant side-swept wet look, secured with Oribe’s Superfine Strong Hair Spray.

Meanwhile, at the Prabal Gurung Fall show, lead stylist Jawara employed Dyson’s new Supersonic hair dryer for a quick-dry method to combat frizz while maintaining the textured style.

One standout hairstyling trend at New York Fashion Week Fall 2024 was the resurgence of wet hair looks with a dark, grungy twist, dubbed “sirencore.” At Jason Wu’s show, hairstylist Jimmy Paul created modern finger waves reminiscent of shipwrecked strands, paired with dewy, mermaid-like skin for an ethereal allure.

Eckhaus Latta embraced the Tumblr-era grunge, featuring models with wet hair near the roots, giving off a chic greasy hair vibe while Palomo Spain added a mermaid-core twist to Kim Kardashian’s pull-through bun, incorporating vivid “red velvet” streaks for a sultry, structural, and grungy finish, using KEVIN.MURPHY products for sleekness and vibrancy.

For a daring style transformation that commands attention, consider embracing baby bangs, also known as blunt bangs.

While initially daunting due to their bold nature, models at Gabriela Hearst, Retrofête, and Tory Burch demonstrated at the New York Fashion Week that this Fall 2024 runway hair trend is worth the leap.

Still unsure about the hair trend? Look no further than Zendaya, Olivia Rodrigo, Leighton Meester, and Zoë Kravitz, who have all effortlessly rocked the look in the past year.
