The summer waves and beachy looks can stay for just a couple weeks longer, as fall hair trends are beginning to dominate the airwaves, online styling boards, and local salons. It’s officially time to refresh your coiffure for cooler temperatures and more fall-ready, textured styles. If you are keen to try something new but aren’t sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place. Check out these six major hair trends for fall 2025 so you can be ready for the most happening looks of the season.
1. Warm Hair Colors
Warm earthy tones are the primary inspiration for fall color trends this year. Influenced by the beautiful change in autumn leaves, you can find a vast range of hues starting with dark chestnuts, caramel highlights, burnt orange and copper tips, and deep mahogany browns. The emphasis is on dimensional and rich hair colors that offer warmth and a cozy feeling in every strand.

Copper and Auburn: Great for those who are looking for more fiery red colors.

Golden Honey Highlights: For a more understated brighter look.

Chocolate Brown: Lustrous and thick looking, this glossy brown tone works on everyone.
Balayage and ombré styles will be popular this season, with natural-looking hand-painted highlights.
2. Textured Bob and Lob
Short and edgy haircuts will be a big trend for fall, but they will not look the same as we have come to know them. Add natural and messy layers to a basic bob or long bob (lob) this season for an on-trend, edgy style. You can slick it back or let the messy curls loose to transition from polished to undone with a simple change of look.
The long bob is also a versatile haircut as it flatters everyone and is easy to maintain. Pair it with oversized blazers and straight-leg jeans for a sophisticated, effortless autumn look.
3. Curtain Bangs
Bangs are still big, and in this season, the must-have is curtain bangs. Softly split in the middle, these bangs cover the forehead like a curtain and work best with a layered haircut. The benefit of curtain bangs is that they work with different textures—fine or thick, curly or straight hair. They are also easy to style into different looks like updos and messy ponytails.
4. Natural Texture
Fall hair trends are all about embracing your hair texture. If you have loose curls, natural waves, or straight hair, wear it proudly. Instead of using too much heat to curl or straighten your hair, let it be natural this fall. The beauty industry is all about going back to basics, which means embracing your hair texture, using hair products to maintain it, and less manipulation.
5. Hair Accessories: Clips and Barrettes
Accessories will complete your fall hair and make simple hairstyles more stylish. Choose oversized clips and pearl-studded barrettes to take your hair from casual to elegant in seconds. Hair accessories are both functional and fashionable and can help you pin back one side of your hair, create a half-updo, or make messy buns more polished.
6. Low-Maintenance Hairstyles
The autumn season is always the busiest part of the year, and this year is no exception. As the holiday season creeps up on us, your hair should be one less thing to worry about. Simple hairstyles like loose ponytails, messy buns, and basic braids will be a hot trend this fall.
These hairstyles don’t take long to do and require minimal styling, which makes them on trend and practical. The best thing about these hairstyles is that they look polished yet undone. They’re perfect for women who work and travel a lot and need chic hairstyles that are easy to style and maintain.
