At Maxine, we're reveling in autumn. The weather, the fashion, and oh, the hair. To start us off, stylist Dani Haulflaire on fall's hottest styles, from baby bangs to beehives to the one accessory you should never leave home without.

AllSaints Baby Bangs

Start Fall Off with a Bang!

One of the best things about fall weather? No more having to mess around with keeping your hair off your face—yes, the end of the oh-so-dreaded sticky bangs. For Dani, that means trying out a light fringe. Perhaps something parted and soft, a la Bridgitte Bardot, or the somewhat more daring (yet oddly demure) baby bangs. See Jeanne Moreau, right.

They come in pretty much every era and style, so take your pick: the Audrey Hepburn, the Amelie, etc. While lovely in stylized, retro cuts, Dani also loves them in the more "distressed but elegant" looks she's been seeing lately. A bit disheveled, a bit layered, a la AllSaints, for example.

The luxe Beehive

As far as styles and textures go, this fall we're really running the gamut. According to Dani, one done-up look worth reinventing: the beehive. It's a classic that's easily modernized with some texture and accessories, and/or bringing down the height a bit from what you might be picturing now.

Don't Leave Home Without: Bobby Pins

"For fall, you need bobby pins," says Dani. "Never go anywhere without bobby pins in your pocket!" (Click here to see our bobby pin board on Pinterest!) They're a must-have whether you're securing your hair into a low, horizontal updo, or pinning in a little bling: "Try adding jewels and brooches onto your actual bun," says Dani.

From soft crimping and retro waves to a bit of braiding (which is, yes, still going very strong), even the most subtle details can make a look, especially when teamed with varying levels of volume.

That being said, "Nothing needs to be super-tight, especially when it comes to headbands and scarves," says Dani. Some teasing and a headband, in any width, is still an amazing look this fall, according to Dani—and is perfect for the day before you shampoo!
