Autumn Hair Trends Are Top-Notch—6 Luxe Styles I've Saved

      In my opinion, autumn is the most exquisite season for beauty trends, especially when it comes to hair. As September arrives, there's a back-to-school vibe that makes it feel essential to experiment with a new short haircut or a change in hair color. Transitioning from summer attire to cozy knitwear calls for refreshing our hair lengths too, saying goodbye to dry, split ends and the faded colors from summer. Autumn brings the opportunity for a fresh start in the year, making it a perfect moment for a change, whether it’s opting for a bob or refreshing your hair color. With a decade of experience as a beauty editor focused on hair, it's my responsibility to identify the upcoming hair trends. I've been carefully observing the hairstyles and colors that are gaining popularity as we transition into the cooler months, and my Pinterest is overflowing with ideas I’m eager to try. From luxurious hair colors to the styles that are trending in salons, here are the most stylish autumn hair trends to consider for your next visit to the salon.

      1. **Biscotti Blonde**

      One of the most stunning autumn hair colors I've encountered is Margot Robbie's biscotti blonde. Similar to the Italian almond biscuit, it boasts a rich, warm depth that highlights her creamy tones beautifully. The base color acts as a fantastic transitional shade, preserving the brightness of summer blonde balayage while subtly transitioning to autumn. It’s bellissima.

       - **dpHUE Gloss+ in Medium Blonde**: This semi-permanent gloss adds a touch of color that gradually fades away.

       - **Living Proof Perfect Hair Day™ High-Shine Gloss Treatment**: The shine is key to achieving a luxurious look; a good gloss provides mirror-like luster.

       - **Gisou Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hair Mask**: This nourishing mask ensures any hair color appears rich, glossy, and incredibly soft.

      2. **Torn Fringe**

      Fringes are making a strong comeback for 2025. While they've always been a classic hairstyle, if you've been contemplating a fringe, autumn is the ideal season to try it. Daisy Edgar-Jones’ torn fringe is forever in my mind, featuring layers that beautifully frame the face. It exudes a relaxed, effortlessly cool vibe, even if the rest of your hair is unstyled. There are numerous fringe styles to choose from, including curtain fringes, Bardot bangs, and bottleneck fringes, so there's something for everyone.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **Color Wow Insta-Wow Advanced Dry Shampoo**: If you’re new to having a fringe, be ready for quicker oiliness. This dry shampoo is the best I've encountered, leaving hair feeling clean without residue.

       - **Hair by Sam McKnight Dressed to Kill Defrizz Crème**: A small amount of pomade can help maintain your fringe—apply it along the edges to control those face-framing strands.

       - **Dyson Airwrap I.D. Multi-Styler and Dryer**: The round brush attachment is perfect for blow-drying and shaping your fringe between washes.

      3. **Bessette Blonde**

      With Sarah Pidgeon portraying Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in the upcoming American Love Story series, there’s renewed interest in her ’90s blonde hue, which is perfect for autumn. Characterized by a toffee base and buttery, chunky highlights—achieved using the "chunking" technique by her colorist Brad Johns—this shade feels as fresh now as it did then. In contrast to biscotti blonde's fine highlights, this style features pronounced lowlights and highlights that merge seamlessly, resulting in a warm golden blonde with sophisticated, dimensional face-framing pieces.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **Kérastase Blond Absolu Hydrating Bundle**: Purple shampoo and conditioner help keep golden blonde from turning brassy, extending the fresh look.

       - **Glaze Supergloss in Honey Blonde**: This temporary gloss allows for experimenting with warmer blonde tones without any long-term commitment, washing out after a couple of shampoos.

       - **Hello Klean Purifying Shower Head**: A shower filter can prevent metals and impurities from affecting your hair color, helping it look maintained for longer.

      4. **Undone Bob**

      Autumn wouldn’t be complete without a bob trend, and this season there's an emphasis on low-maintenance styles. While previous looks featured bouncy and styled bobs, the focus is now on a more effortless, relaxed vibe with the undone bob. This less-is-more approach is cooler and a wonderful opportunity to embrace your natural hair texture. For added movement, curls can be defined with curl cream and a diffuser, whereas straight hair can try a kinked bob—just a hint of bend easily achieved with a straightener.
