A change in season often stirs a burning desire to shake things up hair-wise. Blond tones are swapped for richer hues, curls are styled straight and long ends are chopped chin-length. But in the bang department, options can feel limited. After all, how many types of fringe are there?
Speaking with a handful of celebrity stylists, WWD has determined the textures and cuts expected to make it big this fall, including the fringe aesthetic that dominated the trend cycle over the last few years but is now on the fritz.
Feathered Fringe
According to Matthew Collins, Dyson Beauty global ambassador, feathered fringe is replacing standard full fringe cuts to add texture and dimension. “[Feathered fringe] will generally sit with their longest piece touching the bottom of your eyebrow, and is often styled with a micro part in the middle and a slight swoop to both outsides of the eye, often with slightly longer pieces hitting the tops of your cheekbones to accentuate them,” he said.
Irinel de León — hair artist to Kamala Harris, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and more — agreed. “For fall, I think we’re going to see bangs become softer and a little less perfect. The key is movement and keeping the finish airy,” she told WWD. “For styling, I love using the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler with the round volumizing brush at the root to give bangs a little lift and direction. Then, I’ll use the Coanda Smoothing Dryer to soften everything and make the fringe fall naturally.”
Curly Fringe
Where de León and Collins disagree is texture. While Collins predicts the rise of curly fringe, de León prefers to keep the bangs blown out.

“We have seen the curly fringe more and more over the last few years, but this will be in full force this fall,” Collins guessed. “It’s honestly one of my favorite looks when I see someone rocking a curly fringe.”
What separates the good curly fringe from the bad is the artist. “The key here is finding a great stylist to cut them perfectly for you,” Collins continued. “Second is a great diffuser and dryer. I suggest the Dyson Supersonic R and the diffuser attachment, finished with a couple of drops of Dyson’s Omega Hydrating Hair Oil to break up the curls from its cast.”

If you ask Moe Harb, hair educator and cofounder of Beauty Club London, he’ll tell you curtain fringe isn’t going anywhere, but it is changing. “It’s getting softer and blending more naturally into the haircut. I’m seeing longer curtain bangs, cheekbone-length pieces and wispy fringes rather than a very heavy block of hair across the forehead,” he told WWD, noting, “longer fringe is also much easier for someone who likes changing her hair. You can wear it forward, split it in the middle, sweep it to one side or incorporate it into a blowout. That flexibility is why I think longer, softer bangs will continue into fall.”
