Fall's beauty reset is officially here, and your hair is about to have its main character moment.
This season isn't just about swapping summer highlights for deeper tones—we're talking about a complete hair transformation that channels everything from '90s supermodel layers to rich, moody colors that make basic autumn shades look outdated.
Ready to see what's dominating salon chairs and social feeds?
Let's break down the trends that are making this fall's biggest statement.

Fall hair fashion: The season's must-have colors
Black cherry and cherry cola drama
Deep cherry cola and black cherry shades are absolutely everywhere this fall.
These aren't your typical red highlights—we're talking rich, dimensional colors with serious depth and intensity.
Cherry cola offers that perfect punchy take on traditional auburn, while black cherry brings an almost inky darkness with red undertones.
Both colors photograph beautifully and add instant sophistication to any cut.
Try Facetune's burgundy or red options to preview how these dramatic shades transform your look.
Champagne and honey blonde luxury
Blonde is getting a serious upgrade this season. Champagne blonde offers that quiet-luxury aesthetic everyone's craving—think golden bubbles swirling through expensive champagne.
Old money honey blonde brings warmth without feeling too summery, perfect for transitioning from bright summer highlights.
These tones work particularly well as base colors for subtle highlights.
Use Facetune's gold ombre, hay ombre, or plat-blond colors to experiment with these warm blonde tones.
Decadent mocha and espresso brunette
Ultra-dark, rich brunettes are capturing the season's mood for romantic intensity.
Decadent mocha features deep, velvety brown with subtle cool or warm undertones, while espresso brown adds that coffee-shop sophistication.
These colors work because they're luxurious and healthy-looking, perfect for anyone wanting dramatic change without bright colors.
Gothic brunette and plush velvet variations add even more depth for those wanting maximum drama.
Caramel and cinnamon spice warmth
Sitting perfectly between blonde and brown, caramel blonde is the ultimate transitional color.
Cinnamon spice takes it further with red and copper undertones for more edge—think updated strawberry blonde but richer.
These shades add luminous warmth without the commitment of going full blonde.
Facetune's caramel, amber tips, and copper options let you test drive these trending warm tones.
Rooty silver blonde and recession blonde
The viral "recession blonde" trend continues strong—letting darker roots grow in naturally for both aesthetic and practical reasons.
Rooty silver blonde adds cool, metallic shimmer to the lengths while keeping that effortless root situation.
It's crisp and clean without being stark, perfect for anyone wanting cool tones that still feel current.

Fall hair color ideas for short hair
Short cuts are getting incredible color treatments this season.
Pixie cuts and bob styles look stunning with rich auburn, cherry cola, or deep espresso shades.
The key is choosing colors that enhance your cut's structure.
Autumn balayage on shorter lengths focuses on face-framing highlights rather than all-over color.
Bold colors like burgundy work beautifully on short hair because there's less length to maintain, making the color more impactful.
Autumn hair trends: The cuts and styles taking over
The varsity bob revolution
Bob haircuts are getting a preppy-cool makeover with the varsity bob.
This choppy, chin-skimming cut features subtle layering and works with both center and side parts.
It's polished without being prissy, carrying that collegiate energy that feels fresh for fall.
The textured finish means it looks intentionally undone rather than neglected.
Use Facetune's bob cut option to preview this structured yet effortless style.
'90s supermodel layers comeback
Long, luxurious layers are making their comeback, but with a distinctly '90s twist.
These cascading cuts start below the chin for maximum bounce and volume, creating that iconic supermodel blowout effect even when air-dried.
The technique works particularly well for adding body to fine hair or creating movement in thick strands.
Face-framing pieces starting around the lip line add that signature '90s dimension.
Modern shag evolution
The shag is evolving beyond its grunge roots into something more refined.
The butterfly cut offers shorter, face-framing layers on top with longer layers through the back, creating incredible texture and volume.
Wolf cuts bring more edge with very high layers cascading down to the ends.
These cuts work beautifully with both straight and wavy textures and look incredible with Facetune's shag, butterfly, or layered styling options.
Curtain bangs and face-framing fringe
Face-framing fringe isn't going anywhere this fall.
Curtain bangs offer the perfect gateway into bangs territory, while Birkin-inspired bangs bring vintage sophistication.
The key is asking for bangs that sweep back naturally and blend seamlessly into your layers.
They work with virtually every face shape and hair texture when cut correctly.
Sleek and polished looks
Fall 2025 is bringing back structure and polish.
Sleek blowouts, glossy finishes, and polished updos are dominating red carpets and everyday styling.
The focus is on healthy, shiny hair that looks expensive and well-maintained.
This trend works particularly well with darker colors that naturally appear more glossy.
Fall hair for blondes: Navigating the season's trends
Fall doesn't mean blondes have to go dark.
Instead, it's about shifting to warmer, richer tones that complement the season.
The Scandinavian hairline trend features beige-toned highlights concentrated around the face, creating natural dimension.
Vacation golden hour blonde brings that Mary-Kate and Ashley California vibe with golden undertones.
Fall hair highlights for blondes should focus on honey, caramel, and golden tones rather than the platinum shades of winter.
Autumn red hair color can be incorporated through strawberry tint or penny rust highlights for blondes wanting to experiment with warmer tones.
New fall hairstyles: accessories and styling
Hair accessories are having a major renaissance this fall.
Thick headbands channel Blair Waldorf energy, while artistic resin clips function like jewelry for your hair.
Hair textiles—from bandanas to ribbons to fabric headbands—are becoming statement pieces that work with any hairstyle.
The beauty of this season's trends is their versatility.
A varsity bob looks incredible with loose waves or sleek and straight.
Long layers can be styled into that coveted '90s blowout or left to air-dry for effortless texture.
Polished updos work for formal occasions, while tousled, lived-in styles dominate everyday looks.

Cute hairstyles for fall: Embracing natural texture
This season is all about working with your natural texture rather than against it.
Au naturel movements encourage people to embrace their curls, waves, and natural colors.
Boho braids and protective styles continue trending, while lived-in shags celebrate that perfectly imperfect aesthetic.
The key is choosing cuts and colors that enhance your natural hair rather than requiring extensive daily styling.
Whether you're air-drying waves or embracing your natural curls, fall 2025's trends support healthy, low-maintenance approaches to hair.
