The Coolest Hair Trends for Fall 2019
These are the hair trends taking over Instagram.
Hair is still riding the throwback train for fall 2019. The '80s and '90s have influenced everything from the style on ponytail to the accessories and where you place them. But there are also less bold trends to try this season—unfussy tendrils, low buns, and a fresh take on curls. Ahead, the biggest hair trends for fall 2019 straight from the runways and Instagram.
'80s Redux
At Louis Vuitton's fall show it was all about the 1980s. Hair was parted deep over to one side and styled to cover one eye. To make the look more 2019 than 1989, don't overdo it with hairspray or styling products. Hair should still look touchable.
'80s Redux
We thought we couldn't love Lizzo any more, but then she goes and wears a sparkly scrunchie ponytail styled off to one side. This look is pure fun.
The New Braids
If it's been a minute since you wore braids, now's the time to start again. Whether subtle and bohemian like Margot Robbie or full-on Wednesday Addams like at Prada's fall/winter 2019 show—braids are the versatile style to wear no matter your hair type, texture, or skill level. After all, braids are a classic that never go out of style.

Alicia Keys wore 300 Swarovski crystals individually glued down the length of a ponytail braid—and now we're going to spend an entire day trying to recreate the same look.
Chain Mail
Headbands have been trending for months, but the look can veer too sweet and juvenile for someone accustomed to a little more edge. The compromise? A statement chain headband like the one seen at Balmain.
Chain Mail
Hairstylist Justine Marjan added extensions made from chains to the models' hair at Christian Siriano.
Accessory Overload
It was Gabrielle Chanel who once advised something along the lines of "take one accessory off before you leave the house." Don't just ignore that advice for hair accessories this season—do the opposite. Add ten more sparkly baubles, clips, and pins to your hair before you head out the door. The more, the better.
Accessory Overload
At Chanel, hairstylist Sam McKnight used a variety of bows, pins, and flowers to adorn the hair.

A half-up hairstyle is the perfect simple and clean canvas for a dramatic hair accessory.

Dress up a low ponytail with a black velvet bow and you're instantly ready for any red carpet or gala.

A single metallic barrette placed at the base of a low ponytail is the easiest look ever—and perfect for unwashed hair. Use a clear elastic to elevate the look even more.

One plain bobby pin can look like you forgot to take it out of your hair while getting ready. But three? That's a hair statement with purpose.
Accessory Overload
At Oscar de la Renta, hair was secured into a low ponytail with a simple black elastic and then two golden pins were secured on each side.
Accessory Overload
Gather all your golden hair accessories and style them across a low ponytail for a look guaranteed to break the ice.
Tale of Two Textures
Take a cue from Zendaya and gel down the hair from your hairline to just behind your ears. The result is two distinct textures—one ultra-glossy, one natural—that works best on day two or three hair.
