Wednesday night in Paris marked the end of yet another fashion season, and while all eyes were on the creative ensembles, the hair stylists backstage did not disappoint. While sinister lips, graphic cat-eyes, and barely there eyebrows made bold statements in the makeup department, it was the cornucopia of fresh new hairstyles that stood out. From old Hollywood finger waves to effortless wisps of loose baby hairs, click through the slides for the standout Fall 2016 hair trends.
All the “Mane” Fall 2016 Hair Trends That Made the Cut
Waves
Backstage at Giambattista Valli and Dolce & Gabbana, hair fell softly into romantic, cascading kinks. Meanwhile at Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, and Opening Ceremony, hairstylists fashioned glamorous, Gatsby-inspired finger waves into the models’ long locks.

Hair Ornaments
From the delicate princess tiaras at Tommy Hilfiger, to the enchanting floral coronets pinned into the models’ strands at Rodarte, and the jewelry-turned-hair-accessories at Alexander McQueen, hair embellishments made a pretty statement on the Fall 2016 runways.

Curly Hair
Backstage at Rick Owens, Giorgio Armani, and Stella Jean, models adopted the bigger-is-better mentality and traded in their sleek, pin-straight lengths for fluffy, brushed out clouds. The larger-than-life curls made a case for embracing static, prompting us to ditch the hair straightener every once in a while in exchange for a halo of romantic tendrils.

Slicked Hair
High-shine, pulled back hair was a runway hit this season. Usually on hold until the summertime for its effortless appeal, if the runways are any indication, we’re going to be embracing the wash-and-go hair trend come fall according to Giambattista Valli, Miu Miu, and Emilio Pucci.
