Fall Hair Trends 2025

Written By Chris Murphy

As the air cools and the leaves shift, your hair wants a refresh too. This fall/winter, the trends aren’t about wild change, they’re about smart, expressive updates that amplify your natural beauty. Whether you want to lean bold or ease into something soft, here’s what’s making waves (pun intended) in the hair world right now.

✂️ Cut Trends to Bookmark

  • The Modern Shag / Wolf Cut — Layers, texture, and edge. This cut gives movement and attitude without needing daily fuss. 

  • Swinging / Layered Bob / Lob — Still a classic. A bob with a twist (slight angle, layers, wispy ends) is perfect for scarf weather. 

  • Face-Framing Bangs / Curtain Fringe — Soft fringe that opens the face is back in strong fashion. 

  • Soft Pixie / Bixie — For those who want short and bold, a more textured pixie or bixie (mid-length pixie/bob hybrid) fits the mood this season. 

  • Long Layers + Movement — If you prefer to keep length, the trick is to let the ends and mid-lengths move freely with face-framing layers & soft waves. 

🎨 Color & Tone Trends You’ll Want to Try

  • Mocha Mousse / Expensive Brunette — Deep, rich chocolatey tones with subtle dimension. Think luxury in brunette form. 

  • Cherry Cola / Deep Wine Reds — A sultry, moody red that works beautifully in fall lighting. 

  • Caramel & Amber Highlights — Warm ribbons around the face to brighten without going full blonde. 

  • Honey Butter / Soft Beige Blondes — Less icy, more buttery / warm — blending blondes with soft, skin-flattering warmth. 

  • Natural / Rooted Shades — Low contrast, soft regrowth, an embrace of natural tones (especially for those easing off heavy coloring). 

  • Cider Lights / Calico / Multi-tones — Strategic pops of tone (copper, soft bronze, walnut) blended subtly across panels or ends.
