Dyeing your hair darker for fall is just like wearing florals for spring: it's not a groundbreaking change. Lucy Hale gets this, which is why she took the unexpected route this year by going blonde.

The actress debuted her brand-spanking new hair color in an Instagram post. Since she tagged Kristin Ess in her caption, it's likely that the celebrity stylist is the colorist behind the light shade.

Best described as honey blonde, this color is a lot warmer than the icy platinum shades that were so popular last year. It also looks like Ess added in some coppery low-lights for dimension. Hale's bob was styled in beachy, textured waves, which showed off all of the different blonde tones in her new color.

Although this honey blonde shade is a dramatic departure from her signature chocolate brown hair color, it's not Hale's first time going lighter. Just this past spring she gradually dyed her hair in steps, eventually ending up with a similar strawberry blonde color.

However, Hale's stint as a blonde didn't last long. She returned to her brunette roots by the beginning of summer. TBD on how long Hale will keep her blonde hair color around this time, but either way it's a great option for blondes or brunettes who've been trying to figure out how to switch up their hair color for fall.

The Duchess of Sussex - or as she was formerly known, Meghan Markle - has spent over a decade in the spotlight, but interest in her every move reached fever pitch following her marriage to Prince Harry in May 2018. Her outfits and beauty looks are of course no exception, with the Duchess already carving out a distinctive style for herself and making her insouciant messy bun a style signature. Here, look back at her most memorable hairstyles.

For a visit to her namesake county, Sussex, the Duchess chose an elegant bun with face-framing layers.

A poker-straight style for the Coach Core Awards at Loughborough University.

For the 100 Days to Peace concert to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War, the Duchess wore her hair in side-swept curls.

For the WellChild Awards in London, she wore her hair in a chic bun with loose tendrils around her face.

For the wedding of Charlie van Straubenzee and Daisy Jenks, the Duchess wore her hair in tonged waves topped with a Philip Treacy hat.

A chic chignon for the Sentebale Polo in Windsor.

Tonged waves for the second day of the royal tour of Ireland.

For the Queen's Young Leaders Awards Ceremony, the Duchess complemented her Prada suit with elegant curls.

The best part about a lob is the versatility that comes with the haircut. Super sleek or effortlessly beachy waves might currently be the most popular ways to style the shoulder-grazing length, but there's a new look that all of your favorite celebs have been wearing. Behold, the flippy lob.

“This retro-modern style is a fresh look on a lob because I think we've been seeing a beach wave so much. It gives the cut a more individual style,” says celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell who styled Moretz’s floppy look for the Variety Power of Young Hollywood event in L.A. To give the style its retro feel, Russell suggests a deep side part rather than a center one.

If NYFW Fall 2018 proved anything, it's that simple doesn't need to be boring. Bold, dramatic hair is dominant again this season and the 80's don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Runways were peppered with everything from bright, gravity-defying wigs to polished, to slicked-back buns and tousled locs and more. Ahead, see all the best hair trends we spotted backstage at the Spring 2019 runway shows.

Monse
The vibe: No-fuss
Get the look: Amika stylist Pasquale Ferrante sent the models down the runway with loose waves or knotted ponytails, the latter inspired by the rope theme used throughout Monse's SS19 collection.

Jonathan Simkhai
The vibe: 60's chic look
Get the look: Odlie Gilbert takes a trip back to the 60s for Jonathan Simkhai's show by loosely braiding hair to achieve bohemian-style curls and then dropping loose braids throughout the hair. He added wooden beads for a nostalgic touch.

Milly by Michelle Smith
The vibe: Effortless
Get the look: After shampooing and washing the hair, Odile Gilbert used a curling iron to give hair "a natural texture," then separated curls with her fingertips for the perfect "I woke up like this" look.

Nicole Miller
The vibe: The New York Girl
Get the look: They say New York is the city that never sleeps, so Kien Hoang gave models a more polished version of the "I-woke-up-like-this" hairstyle by creating "unstructured waves and curls."

Hellessy
The vibe: Half-wet waves
Get the look: TRESemmé Global Stylist Justine Marjan created the perfect "wet waves" by slitting hair into sections in order to drop loose braids all over. Then, Marjan spray each braid with holding spray and gently flat-ironed it to create a textured, beach-ready look.

Noon by Noor
The vibe: In the desert
Get the look: Keeping in line with Noon by Noor's breezy, summer-themed collection, hairstylist Paolo Soffiatti kept it simple by blow-drying the hair and adding a few waves throughout to create an easy, breezy hairdo.

Lobs and bobs are short, sophisticated, and surprisingly low maintenance. Click through our favorite short hair inspirations from timeless and elegant to cool and edgy to find your perfect chin-to-collarbone length cut.

Jenna Dewan

Adding a touch of texture to ends like Jenna Dewan saves a blunt bob from looking harsh.

 

Elsa Pataky

Who says beach hair is just for Rapunzel-lengths. To get effortless cool-girl hair like Elsa Pataky, bring in bends, not full-on curls, so everything looks au naturale.

 

Hailey Baldwin

To keep things breezy, limit soft bends to below the cheekbones like Hailey Baldwin to add texture without pumping up the volume.

 

Evan Rachel Wood

Long side-bangs form a frame for Evan Rachel Wood's face.

 

Nina Dobrev

A subtle wave like Nina Dobrev's adds tons of movement to a lob.

 

Cate Blanchett

Flatter a regal, high forehead like Cate Blanchett with a long bob with lots of bend.

There's something about fall that makes us want to switch up our hair game. Whether its some fun, new bangs, a dramatic chop, or just a different way of styling you look, we've got all the inspiration you need to freshen up your'do for the season.

Baby Bangs

Less fussy and much more interesting than your standard fringe, choppy, ultra-short bangs like these on Emma Watson upgrade any cut's cool factor.

 

Slicked-Back Top

Leaving the ends loose and soft keeps this look (as seen on Hayley Atwell and Zendaya) from coming off as severe while the slicked-back, sleek front sections make it ballgown-worthy.

 

Angluar Bob

A little bit '80s, a little bit Daria, Tessa Thompson's loose curls keep this bob looking soft and modern.

 

Feathered Hair

Think of this look on Georgia May Jagger as the granddaughter of Farrah Fawcett's iconic swoop. Unlike your typical beachy waves, the trick here is curl each section away from the face to really emphasize some structure.

 

The Shag

Piecey texture lends Alison Brie's lob an effortless, rocker vibe.

 

Bob

When it comes to making a major hair impact nothing does the job like a bob. Go above chin-length and add some texture for a flirty take like Christina Ricci or opt for something modern and cool with a long sleek version like Kim Kardashian.

 

Diva Curls

We love the look of dramatic ringlets for fall. To avoid full poof, take a cue from Ciara and keep the few inches closest to the roots sleek so all of the volume builds through the mid-lengths and ends.

 

Middle Part

For years the deep side part has been the go-to, which makes the return of the perfect center part—as seen on Kristen Bell—incredibly refreshing.

If you've had long hair your whole life, cutting it all off can be absolutely terrifying. What makes going short a little less scary, though, is having a guarantee that whatever haircut you choose will look good at the end of the salon appointment. That's where consulting your face shape comes in. Whether it's heart shaped, oval, round, or square, stylists can take your face shape into consideration to create a personalized, flattering haircut.

If You Have a Round Face

It's all about the bob or lob for this face shape, and Chrissy Teigen is the perfect example. "For ladies with round faces, I suggest avoiding short, blunt bangs, and instead opting for soft, longer bangs," Vaccaro says. "Volume in the right places is essential. You don't want a haircut that gives you volume at the jawline. Volume needs to be at the crown of the head."

The bob is always dubbed one of the sexiest hairstyles of the fall, but for those of us who don't want a haircut, that suggestion does absolutely nothing. The upside? There are plenty of other options that are equally as sexy and don't require you to chop off six inches or lose any length at all. To prove my point, I researched 10 celebrity hairstyles perfect for fall and anyone with long hair, or a set of extensions.

Keep scrolling for loose and romantic braids, voluminous curls, sleek, straight hairstyles that show off face-framing layers, and more.

Jennifer Lawrence

Show off your natural curls or add texture with hot tools to copy Jennifer Lawrence's hairstyle. If you don't have naturally curly hair, try using a product like Rollers to create the bend in your hair. The rollers come in different sizes, so you can opt for a loose wave or a true curl.

Jennifer Garner

To update a classic blowout, go for an extreme side part like Jennifer Garner.

Camila Cabello

Separate your bangs in the center to create a curtain-like style similar to Camila Cabello.

Jennifer Aniston

Use a root-lift spray to copy Jennifer Aniston's volume at the crown of her head.
