I used to believe that brunette girls receive the smaller end of the fall trendy stick but no longer. Such accuracy of precision cut and rich tone is rather classical but it is dominant.
When you need to feel powerful, sophisticated and completely unpretentious, that is. The type of glance that makes a person turn their heads without uttering a single word.
Pumpkin Split Bang Shag
Is this not the Halloween rockstar hair of dreams? The bangs of this shag cut are thick and lumpier than usual with the inky black on one half of the scalp and blistering pumpkin orange on the other half bang going down the middle. The hair is long and unruly providing maximum power and size. It is befittingly edgy but in the quirky way, the Pinterest-worthy epitome of the anti-basic fall outfit.
Each half of this color you will need to treat differently, whereby I suggest a color-depositing mask on the orange parts and clarifying shampoo on the black, in limited amounts. The contrast thrives on upkeep. If styling, add a texturizing powder for lift.
Something about this color is just so bold in the most commendable manner. I am aware it is not to everyone and that is just the point. Are you one of those people who have ever thought your hair can use some extra attitude? Well, here is your invitation.
Autumn is about transformation. This cut means: I have not only lost some leaves, I have clean burned the tree.
Matcha Cream Bob
This refreshing airy frivolous lime green bob may act as a relief. The colour is an ethereal shade of matcha – pastel and vivid at the same time, apparently wearable in 2025. It is a sharp and short cut, just above the jawline and this makes it a little bit Parisian chic to the playful hue. When there are a lot of reds and browns, it is unexpected and one of the freshest selections of the season.
Greens do not last long and my suggestion would be to use cold water and weekly re-coloring. ARCTIC FOX Phantom Green has been lucky as an at-home toner I use between salon visits.
This one is to the girl that stays one step ahead of a trend. All at once it is cool-girl energy, street style, and some serotonin. Not only that, green is so versatile with all the neutrals of fall in your closet.
Call it unconventional. I call it inspired.
Classic Creamy Blonde Waves
It is this type of blonde that makes you think you are in your own Nancy Meyers film, soft, glowing and a little retro in the loveliest way possible. Here the creamy color is not platinum or cold-icy, rather than warm soft, which can be used with both Muted and True warm palettes and has sufficient saturation to really deliver. The massive wavy hair makes it casual to camera-ready within a fraction of a second.
With lighter colors like this, hydration is non-negotiable. My favorite mask is the Christophe Robin Regenerating one, this mask preserves the perfect blonde tone by maintaining softness and shiny blonde hair.
I have always felt that a buttery blonde on fall is irresistible. It brings light to those hazy grey mornings and it even makes knitwear a bit cozier. It goes on tones of soft neutrals and warm makeup as well.
This blonde variant of the year 2025 is made with the romantics in mind, the Pinterest girls, the ones who love oversized scarves and cinnamon oat milk lattes. A true seasonal staple.
Red Velvet Curl Luxe
This is luxury in hair form. A lusty, luxurious red that borders on cool, a combination of cranberry to cabernet, worn in sexy curls to move every which way. It’s bold, rich, and timeless. The intensity of the tone is suitable with cooler skin tones in general and particularly those in the cold palette, but it has an air of holiday-season happiness. A standout for evening events or cozy candle-lit dinners.
This kind of red will need some commitment. The Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo and conditioning system is made specifically to work wonderfully with reds, and the color doesn keep fading into dullness at an early age. A monthly gloss treatment in the salon would not be a bad idea as well.
It is something about a red of this kind that alters the way I move myself around. It throws in some extra-drama and this is good. Just as you do walk more slowly, and also say less, and come to feel a little stronger. I would select this color with an individual who is prepared to embrace the inner vixen in her this fall.
Because when the leaves go scarlet, why shouldn’t you?
Brunette Butter Balayage with Curtain Fringe
All you know, there are colors that shriek fall walk in park. This is it. Brilliant brunette that melted into the toffee-colored blonde balayage was done on a deep brunette base. The fringe of the soft curtain ensures it remains playful and the flair of the 1970s is in line with the current 2025 trend. It is fabulous on brunettes with highlight who are so romantic, so low-key.
This is a color that doesn’t need high-maintenance care — a color-safe shampoo and a once-a-week gloss (try Madison Reed’s Color Reviving Gloss in Amaretto) will keep the warm tones looking fresh without much effort.
Seriously, it is the appearance I am suggesting to every single person who wants to have the change but does not become the person who does something outrageous. It goes with all fall closets you can imagine, it is complimentary and not obnoxious.
This will suit the season lovers, the people who need something that will make it through the winter and look good.
Twilight Blue Fade
Here we will jump into what seems to be a rare outfit: the midnight to indigo gradient has an ice-and-freeze night sky in hair feeling. I started off with dark black-browning, but at the ends it fades away into a cool, rich blue. The frizzy bob is nice because it makes that edgy hue easy to wear even when you are not really into fantasy colors.
Not to mention that fantasy blues fade away very easy, so I apply the Celeb Luxury Viral Blue Conditioner every time I have no chance to visit the salon. Also, minimize washing and use a dry shampoo (Amika’s Perk Up is a great one) to extend the vibrancy.
I experienced something like this one year ago, after a breakup andlet me tell you, I felt like a new person. Something about dark hair, which has a colorful twist to them brings out a quiet confidence.
Use it when you want to experiment with color but keep it enigmatic, earthy and utterly cool.
Structured Cocoa Crop
This is the brunettes short cut done with elegance. The cocoa brown color is textured and mature, done with a sculpted wave to gain the vintage-contemporary buzz. It is among the coolest brunettes 2025 has to offer to those who did not want to look classic and boring. It is soft, structured, and voluminous, which is equally great, not to mention effortless-looking.
