The Trendiest Hairstylists in London Predict These 5 Hair Colors Will Lead This Autumn.

      As a beauty editor who has explored beauty trends for ten years, a significant insight emerges from discussions with hairstylists. Many do not believe in the concept of "hair trends." Rather, they often reference a broader mood or movement rather than specific, uniform hair trends to follow. This perspective continues for autumn hair trends in 2025, perhaps more than ever. Instead of adhering to particular hair colour trends, skilled hair colourists focus on creating a personalized shade that is unique to you. Luke Hersheson, founder of Hershesons, explains, "I see hair colour as a means of enhancing your natural appearance without it looking artificially dyed." He emphasizes that effective hair colour should be so subtle that it appears undetectable, echoing the "no-makeup" makeup trend in the beauty industry. For autumn 2025, the goal is for hair colour to resemble your natural hue, with gentle adjustments that elevate its appearance.

      Additionally, your hair colour should complement your haircut or style. Hersheson notes, "Colour cannot be considered in isolation; it must integrate with the overall look." For instance, if you prefer beachy waves, balayage and highlights can introduce a lightness that aligns with the relaxed aesthetic. Conversely, if you sport a bold short cut like a bob or enjoy wearing your hair straight, solid colours may be more effective in accentuating the shape and shine. Hersheson adds, "It’s uncommon to find a colour trend that stands alone without contributing to a complete look." After speaking with three different hair colourists for this article, there’s a consensus: instead of bold colours or pronounced techniques, every hair colour is more understated, simple, and natural-looking than in previous seasons. If you need some ideas for your autumn hair colour in 2025, explore the key moods listed below.

      **Autumn Hair Colour Trends 2025**

      1. **Marbled Blonde**

      "We are moving away from high-contrast shades and witnessing a trend towards more blended colouring," states Jordanna Cobella, Wella ambassador and owner of Cobella, who described her marbling technique for creating customized hair colour. "Rather than relying solely on highlights or bleach slices, we are incorporating colour for a softer effect—you really have to look closely in the light to notice it," she explains. For blondes, Cobella employs various woven shades of blonde to achieve a marbled look. The key to this style is the strategic placement of both warm and cool-toned blondes that together create a multi-tonal, individual appearance akin to marble. Additionally, this method requires less bleach, resulting in reduced damage to hair.

      2. **Clay Copper**

      As we observe earthy terracotta shades influencing interior trends, a similar transition is occurring in hair colour for autumn 2025. The focus is shifting from vibrant coppers and cherry reds to more muted reds and coppers. "I'm observing a rise in terracotta and clay shades for copper hair this season," Cobella shares. "These may incorporate a hint of pink or violet, presenting a cooler-toned clay rather than a bright copper," she notes. Unsure if red is your colour? Hersheson advises, "If you naturally have red tones, it will feel appropriate." He adds that confidence in wearing this colour is essential—it should feel authentic.

      3. **Tobacco Brunette**

      In the past year, we've seen brunettes shift towards deeper, cooler tones, a trend that continues into autumn 2025 with an emphasis on smoky hues. "I'm noticing a greater prevalence of cooler tones in hair gloss," Cobella remarks, indicating a notable shift from the warm, copper tones of previous years. "Instead of copper, we’re using violet and taupe for a smoky effect on brunettes." This appearance is easily maintained as it results from a gloss rather than full block colouring, allowing for a more natural look without prominent root regrowth.
