Autumn and boho hair are a perfect match. The warm, earthy palette, the layering of textures and the mix of undone and intentional all suit tousled waves, loose braids and artfully messy updos.
How to create an autumn boho look: the short answer
- Loose plaits: leave a few strands free and secure with tiny claw clips.
- Messy updos: twist and pin with a long chignon pin.
- Soft fringes: hold sections back with snap clips or narrow clips.
What does boho mean in hair?
Boho hair is relaxed but elevated: styles that look effortless yet are gently considered. Think strands that move in the breeze, braids that look loosely woven and tendrils that fall just so from an updo.
What length should boho hair be?
Any length works. Long hair gives you the most room for braids and waves, mid-length hair is perfect for loose texture, and short hair can channel boho with layers and well-placed accessories. The key is movement.
