Jen Atkin forecasts fall hair trends focusing on texture and shine

Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin is forecasting several hair trends for the fall season, emphasizing personality and hair health over uniform, one-length styles. Atkin predicts a move toward more textured looks, including shags, short bobs, and cropped fringes, noting that shorter, layered cuts are becoming more popular than long, single-length hair.

Beyond specific cuts, Atkin highlights glossy, healthy hair as a major upcoming trend for red-carpet events. She advises that the foundation of a polished look begins with hair health and consistent maintenance routines. To achieve shine and smoothness, she recommends using nourishing products such as hair oils and moisturizing masks to address dryness and split ends.
