Ideal for: straight or wavy hair of any thickness
If you think the lob is over, think again -- stylish actresses like Sarah Hyland and Priyanka Chopra have stepped out with freshly cut lobs this fall. Our experts confirm the lob isn't going anywhere this season, but it's got a new twist.
"The lob will still be in," says Leal, "but the wave pattern is going to be more relaxed and edgy." The messy beach waves of summer are gone; now, the lob has a subtle bend with smooth ends.
Get Ciara's look by wrapping sections of hair just once around a curling iron. When your waves have cooled, brush them out or finger-comb them until they're smooth.

Ideal for: any hair texture and thickness
The lob is still here this fall, but some tastemakers have begun growing out their lobs, thereby setting a new trend: "in-between" hair, neither long nor short, softened by layers and light texture.
"The lob is still popular, but I think it's a bit longer, and a little more refined and polished," says Vigi. With this cut, she explains, "you can still have the sexiness of longer hair, and still be modern."
Potempa recommends reshaping your lob with "piece-y layers" and simply letting it grow -- ideally, a few inches past shoulder length. Shampoo your hair at night and sleep on it for Aimee Song's bedhead effect, or add texture with the Beachwaver S1 styling iron.

Minimalists, rejoice: Clean cuts are about to be cool again. Although layered styles are still hot, tastemakers will "bring the one-length cut back," Chaplin predicts. A center part and smooth texture make this cut particularly sophisticated for fall.
And while short haircuts aren't going anywhere, long hair is also back in vogue; just ask the ever-stylish Olivia Palermo. "I personally think it will be more about length this year," says Sturdivant-Drew. "Long hair is back, sexy and fun!"
