Plus, it nods to the coastal flick hair trend that pro hairstylist Tom Smith predicted would take off for autumn (and also serve up cozy vibes). “The midi flick [shape] is inspired by the coastal grandmother trend that's going round the States at the moment,” he said. “It's that midlength, blow-dried, slightly housewife-y, flicky vibe.”
It's a “continuation of the fluffy blow-dries that we saw earlier this year,” he added. And is typically styled “collarbone-length with a flick at the bottom [and] flipped over at the top, with lots of volume, and really aerated.” The shorter length and styling technique of both give a more rounded shape. Just make sure you have a barrel brush and a hair dryer for extra body.

Celebrities are getting involved too, with Sarah Hyland accidentally jumping on the trend earlier this year and loving it. In June she posted a video to Instagram with the caption “Took out my extensions and realized my hair had grown in to a Monica cut. Needless to say, I am very excited about this.”
