Hair Trends: What' In , What's Out

When it comes to hair this fall, everything is loose, flowing and natural. While fashion is all about velvet, luxe fur and glamorous styles, hair is soft and natural rather than ultra-styled. The focus is on classy, sophisticated styles, rich colors, and looks that are easy to manage. Here are the trends to watch out for this season.

In: Sinuous tresses. Hair that has a slight wave and that flows and moves will be a huge trend, says Poncho, a stylist at Pashah Salon in New York City.

Out: Super-straight strands. Flatironed hair looks too severe right now.

In: Smooth long layers. Frédéric Fekkai predicts we'll see lots of cuts with subtly graduated and longer layers to match the ultra-feminine style of the season.

Out: Choppy short layers. Irregularly cut layers that give a dissonant, hard-angled appearance don't work with fall's romantic looks.

In: Unaffected and natural styles. To keep your hair natural for autumn, says stylist Heather Packer of Bumble and bumble, finger-comb through it after it's styled, and don't use a brush again that day.

Out: Super-controlled, every-hair-in-place styles. The softness of the styles we're seeing precludes hair that's been overstyled, or looks too perfect or done. It's too high maintenance.

In: Deeper, richer hair color. Hair color is going luxuriously dark this fall, says Renée Patronik, L'Oréal's consulting colorist. Look for fewer highlights and a return to single-process, all-over color in deeper, richer shades.

Out: Sun-bleached color. Excessively highlighted hair doesn't harmonize with the more discreet fashion trends this fall.

In: Straight middle part. Kyrin McKenna, senior stylist at the Oscar Blandi Salon, likes an easy middle part, reflecting a more straightforward mind-set.

Out: Zigzag part. The jagged path is too exacting for this season's new simplicity.

In: Low ponytails: Hair pulled back into a low ponytail looks so right this year, and with it worn this way, this season's hot bold earrings and strong necklaces won't compete.

Out: Dismantled chignons: Fussy buns with strands of hair pulled out like little stalks of hay just look too contrived
