I'm a Beauty Editor—4 Autumn Hair Trends I'm Experimenting With and 4 I'm Taking a Break From This Season.

      The new season is in full swing, which is why we've been busy gathering reports on the top autumn hair trends, hair color trends, bob styles, and more, to keep you updated on what's currently popular. As an editor, I’m not particularly fond of the idea of discussing what's "in" and what’s "out", as I genuinely believe in wearing any hairstyle that you prefer. Nonetheless, writing about trending haircuts and colors daily allows me to stay informed about the styles people are gravitating toward and which trends might not be making it into 2025. Below, I've compiled a list of simple substitutions to help modernize your hairstyle this season. Interested? Keep reading.

      1. Swapping Cherry Cola Hair for Espresso Brown Hair

      While I appreciate the cherry cola hair trend just like anyone else, I’ve observed that more people are choosing rich, dark brunette shades this autumn. This color looks stunning with a glossy finish, creating an elegant and polished appearance. I tend to lean towards these darker shades as autumn approaches, so I might try this trend myself.

      3. Swapping Micro Bobs for Mid-Length Bobs

      Bobs aren’t going anywhere; however, in compiling the report on the leading autumn bob hair trends for 2025, I've noticed a comeback of midi-length and lob hairstyles. This is excellent news for those preferring low-maintenance styles, as this short hair trend is much easier to care for. Pair your midi-length bob with a fringe for a striking fashion statement.

      **Davines**

      4. Swapping Slicked-Back Buns for Tousled Updos

      The slicked-back bun has remained stylish for years and continues to be my go-to updo for wash days. However, when my hair is freshly styled, I definitely prefer chic tousled updos instead. I’ve noticed many fashionable French women sporting this look for the autumn season.
