25 Autumn Fall Hair Colors Ideas 2025 + Highlights for Every Shade

Then match it with a matte black liner and keep everything minimal. Let the color do all the talking.

Champagne Tousled Pixie

Let’s take a breath — and sip something fizzy. This is a pampered, dishevelled pixie-style cut in creamy champagne blonde. It is an acknowledgement of the trend that blonde is taking in 2025 lighter, less heavy, soft, and only softly neutral warm to fit muted/warm soft undertones. The volume is created without it being weighed in a texture, and the tapering on the nape keeps everything tidy.

You want airy texture spray with pixies such as this one. I swear by the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Texture Spray for that effortless “I didn’t try, but it looks incredible” vibe. And you do not have to wash it daily it will be just perfect when it is a little bit trifled.

This is sort of a haircut where it is all about confidence at a first glance. The cut is not too hard, but it is really elevated, it feels as if it is the accessory. To me there is nothing that accentuates bone structure and earrings as short hair.

And if you have been toying with the idea of going short but are not quite ready to go too icy or too gold, this is a gentle entry which is nevertheless glamorous.

Fiery Red with Platinum Money Piece

Red and blonde highlights equal brunette meets overall main character energy and that is what happens. This fiery base leans toward copper-red, while the bleached face-framing strands (known as the “money piece”) add drama and draw attention to the eyes. It has a high-contrast appearance but is very wearable and particularly suitable to those who have the undertones of brown red or auburn naturally.

Since we have both warm and cool tones in this look, I suggest using a shampoo that does not wash out pigment, that is to say a color-safe shampoo, e.g. the Hydrate line in Pureology does not strip either shade. And in case you heat style the blonde face frame regularly, a bond-builder such as K18 is not a choice.

I absolutely adore the drama of this look. It reminds me of a fall candle brought to life, it is warm, soothing yet has some spice to it. It’s bold, sure, but it’s also beautifully thought-out. This sort of color blocking might modify the shape of your face and make your features lighter in a so-natural fashion.


Sometimes fall doesn’t have to mean subtle. It can imply saying what is TRUE, and this is exactly that, loud as well as proud and exquisitely mixed.

Classic True Copper Waves

Here is your typical autumn beauty wandering in the forest scene. It is the real copper hue, none of that pink or brown or whatever, you know, that pumpkin-spiced looking copper that denotes fall. Applied on soft, natural waves, this shade confers a beautiful golden hue on the hair and compliments the skin that has a neutral to an accentuated warm tone as nothing. It is radiating the sentiment of nostalgia, classiness, and little magic of a fairytale.

Maintenance-wise, copper tends to fade faster than we’d like. Application of copper-boosting mask once weekly such as that of Moroccanoil Color Depositing product line maintains the hue saturated and the texture luxury-buttery.


When I had this tone back in October last year, I wore more earth tones and just my clothes seemed to be much better suited to each other. It’s that kind of transformative color. This kind of warmth may make you feel like you have been internally lit up as the days grow darker.

It is not a fad, copper is the frame of fall hair colors in the autumn and rightly so. It just feels like the season, you know?

Warm Sunset Balayage

It is the dimensional update of brunettes brunettes balayage of the season. Starting with a rich rust-copper root, this look blends into golden ends with soft highlights brown and blonde tones for that “sunset in your hair” effect. It’s the definition of Best warm without being overdone. Even better, the contrast between deep and light is much flattering to this haircut with shoulder length.

This kind of balayage is perfect when you are not willing to have perpetual touch-ups. Seven to eight weeks of gloss and the colors are still hummin in the grow- out. I apply the IGK Expensive Gloss Treatment to shine which appears to be a 400-dollar salon-worthy product- when it is not.

I think this color is what people mean when they say “fall glow-up.” It is not too heavy, yet not bland, not brassy and yet gold, and with that warm-luxury effect so hot in 2025.

When you need to change your life, but, at the same time, to feel ready to start with yourself, just like on your home ground, try this. It’s soft, layered, muted, and utterly chic.

Steel Smoke Ombré Bob

This smoldery ombr bob is very smooth flowing that takes a dark brunette base and fades through frosted steel grey to come up hot, cool, and edgy. It can be termed as a genuinely cold shade of the palette and these women should use it to their ultimate benefit when they have cooler tones or border towards that minimal, chic appeal. The sharp angles in the back of the shoulders creates accuracy, and the gradient prevents it all looking stark.

To account for such an icy color, I would always apply purple shampoo every week in order to counteract any yellowing- Fanola No Yellow Shampoo is my favorite. You should also not forego deep conditioning per week and especially if the hair has been bleached to give rise to that silver tone to avoid brittleness.

This color is CEO at brunch to me a bit mysterious, totally composed, and bold to the nth degree. It breaks just the right kind of moody in season, but it can still be tailored to be sleek or messy depending on what you wear.


One does not want warmth during the colder months and this is one of them.

Tangerine Fusion Bob

This hot orange and pink mix is the neon orange and hot pink tones to the hair colors that are the acme of autumn fall colors. Having a medium length bob with the daringly deep placement of tangerine around the root fading to magenta-pink ends, this color is a shout-out of the festival girl and an art school muse. The texture of the cut is only enough to add bounce to it and prevent the shades looking blocky.

This appearance will require updates, that is beyond any doubt as it would be better to use the Viral Colorwash system with pink and orange colors to keep the intensity rates on the same level. And sleeping with silk pillowcases? Non-negotiable. Trust me on that.


Occasionally I just catch a glance that makes me wish I could cut my hair right now — this is this glance. It’s playful and bold but still artfully done. In case you couldn yellow and orange, but wanted to wear brights but found them to be summery, here is how you wear them in the midst of fall.

Are your autumn hues supposed to be a a muted palette? Sometimes, fiery is exactly the mood.

Glossy Raven Sleek Bob

You have heard of that never-out-of-style release that is beyond fashion? This is the end one sleek, razor sharp bob in darkest raven black. The dimensions around the neckline are cut to perfection, and the mirror-whiter finish makes it seem like a power move. This is just those brunette short hair appearances that are both graceful and fashionable at the same time, depending on your makeup and accessory.

For upkeep, it’s all about shine. I use the Color Wow Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray and a heat protectant when I am straightening it with a flat iron. Also — don’t forget regular trims, especially with this shape. The bob waits for no one.
