5 winter hair trends from on and off the red carpet

The winter season is finally here and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a new hairstyle – with low ponytails, twisted knots and smoky grey all topping the bill.

We’ve picked out the styles, cuts and colours to rock this autumn.

From low ponytails and distressed knots to smoky pastel greys and autumnal reds, there’s a range of trends to pick from that will take you right through to the New Year.

Say goodbye to beach boho waves and warm honey tones – this autumn is all about dark auburn colours and distressed styles.

Also predicted as big autumn hair trends are hair embellishments, including sparkly clips and bejazzled bands, dark and sleek gothic styles and the perfect mix of blonde and brown – the bronde colour.

We’ve looked at the catwalk shows and our favourite celebrity style icons and predicted this year’s most popular autumn hair trends.

1. All about the knots

Thandie Newton
Say goodbye to summer plaits and braids – the new season is all about distressed and casual knots. Simply choose between a high or low style and twist your hair into a relaxed and loose bun with straying ends

2. Embellishment

Janelle Monae
This look would be perfect for any autumn parties you have booked in the diary. The catwalk shows were filled with models wearing embellished headwear, including jewelled velvet bands and statement sequin clips. Keep your outfit low-key to make sure all eyes are on your hairstyle.

3. Autumnal tones

Kendell-Renee Kelly
There’s no better way to celebrate the autumn season than with a classic autumn hair colour. Turn your back to ashy tones and look for deep auburn reds or even dark rosy pin

4. Low ponytails

Zendaya
If you’re looking for an easy alternative to the top knot, try a relaxed low ponytail for a day in the office or weekend outdoors. Without losing your parting, tie your hair into a low ponytail with a thin band. For added style, take a loose strand from the back of your head and twist around the bunch, covering the band.

5. Smoky grey

Rihanna
Grey has never been more stylish and fashion fans have already been spotted trying out this daring hair colour. For the best shade, opt for a light smoky colour that will match any of your autumn outfits.
