A perfect hairstyle and color combination can elevate any outfit, making you feel like a star, even when you’re just running errands or commuting to work.

However, finding not only the ideal hairstyle but also the perfect color can feel overwhelming, often leading to endless scrolling through Pinterest. I know how tiring it feels, and I know how busy we all are, so I decided to compile a list of my favorite hairstyle/hair color combos to choose from this fall.

Pairing Cuts and Colors Like a Pro

To pair a hairstyle with the most flattering color, consider the style and the length of the haircut.

There are some unwritten rules that most hair stylists will abide by, but an exceptional hair stylist will listen to your wishes and try to understand your style before suggesting the right combination.

For example, bold, dramatic colors pair well with hairstyles that are classic, texturized bobs and lobs are perfect for balayage, and edgy hairstyles like the hime haircut look incredible when paired with a solid color such as black or dark brown.

Of course, these are just some popular guidelines, but you’re free to do whatever feels right for you – I am here to help you get inspired, and hopefully step into your new era!

Let’s take a look at some of the trendiest cut/color combinations to consider.

Raven Noir Meets Pixie Cut

The term “Raven Noir” is everywhere – and if you’ve been confused, don’t worry, we’re here to break down this particular shade! It’s a dark, glossy black color characterized by cool undertones, resembling raven wings. This shade is deep, luxurious, and versatile, looking stunning on all skin tones.

When paired with an iconic pixie hairstyle, it brings drama and edge, giving you a look that is as chic as it is bold. It’s a wonderful option for everyone, and a pixie haircut for older women always adds a bit of spice, making you look ladylike and powerful at the same time.

This hair color is not difficult to maintain, but a pixie requires a visit to the salon every 4-6 weeks to keep it looking fresh and sharp. In my opinion, it’s so worth it, and it’s a staple for all cool girls.

Textured Bob Meets Highlights

Texturized, layered hair looks best when it’s multidimensional, so pairing a textured bob with sun-kissed balayage is a power move to bring warmth to the fall season. 

The highlights will make each layer pop, bringing depth and luminosity to your hair. This is a perfect style for women who want to look trendy while rocking a hairstyle that works with every aesthetic. 

The key is to choose the right photo to show your hair stylist – there is a huge difference in ashy, colder tones compared to bronzy, sun-kissed ones. It all comes down to your preference, so be sure to communicate your wishes clearly – you deserve to get exactly what you asked for.

A textured bob requires regular trims (every 4-6 weeks is ideal), and a balayage touch up every 3-6 months, making it a great haircut/color combo for busy girls.

Long Layers Meet Crimson Red

Here’s an excellent suggestion for those looking for a daring seasonal change that will command attention wherever they go.

Long layers, ideally with face-framing pieces have been such a staple in this past year, a truly iconic hairstyle that we all loved. However, if you like to stand out, pairing it with a dramatic color such as crimson red (or a popular cherry cola hair color) would be an excellent choice.

This style is modern, striking, and especially good for ladies who prefer monochromatic fashion – this will make your luscious locks stand out even more.

Keep in mind that this color can be very high-maintenance. Red is notoriously difficult to maintain in terms of vibrancy, but in my opinion, it is 100% worth it. Stick to your color shampoo and a good leave-in conditioner, and you will always look fresh and put together.

Some Final Thoughts

The choice is all yours –  whether you’re drawn to crimson red long layers, a raven noir pixie haircut, or a textured bob with highlights, there’s a perfect combination waiting for you.

Don’t be afraid to play with different combinations, and make sure to ask your hairstylist for their thoughts so you leave the salon completely satisfied with your new look.

Sometimes, a professional eye can help you discover a shade or cut you never thought would suit you, but ends up being your absolute favorite.

Finding the right hairstyle and shade is all about balance, so listen to your hair, your skin tone, and your personality.
