This tone makes me feel the energy of the Old Hollywood but with the modern touch. Platinum is not necessary to appear luxurious: this is expensive, rich, and right on season.
To take a slight upgrade, dark can can be layered with soft autumn highlights added just to add some movement in the ends, all the while leaving the sleekness intact at the top.
Electric Cherry Pixie Shag
Let’s talk texture and fire. It is an asymmetrical pixie shag that mixes together a bunch of curls and autumn highlights that are pink-red. The color position is absolutely genius, it appears full at the crown and the rest stays dark and grounded. It is short, it is fun and right on the spot of cool autumn transformations of short-hair looks in 2025.
You will have to have a good texturizing spray to maintain this style, and I can vouch by Kristin Ess Dry Finish Working Texture Spray. It gives you volume but it does not crunch and it brings out all those layers.
I adore this to be used by any individual who is willing to get a change that is both cool and comfortable to handle. In particular, when you are growing out of a pixie or want to do something to spice up the season after all those messy buns in the long hot summer.
It is also suitable to use by people who have wave or curl hair- the shape makes the hair more relaxed and the color highlights every jolt.
Soft Cinnamon Lob
This is a shade that you would like to sink yourself in a cup of your latte and bury your nose in a mess of magazines. A long bob aka the lob meets a tittersome cinnamon tone which is just about bright enough to draw eyes. There is a few of layers and the ends are romanticized. It is a perfect style to have who wants to be somewhere more along the line of autumn kiss rather than fiery siren.
Glamorous but without fuss, this style is easiest to keep up using a colour-depositing conditioner at two week intervals, turn to Celeb Luxury Gem Lites in Cognac.
It is one of those concepts which refuses to fade away after each couple of falls as it simply works. Take a look at the picture at the beginning of this section to get a coherent take on the idea of being a brunette but not wanting to bleach and receiving the overall “glow.” In that case, get yourself that warm gloss with copper undertones and mild balayage.
Why is this color so wearable is because it goes with almost every wardrobe transition such as the soft greys and oatmeals of the spring even to the sharp red lip that we wear in the fall.
Spiced Pumpkin High Pony
High pony, but make it autumn highlights 2025. This rich spiced orange-red hue seems the more grown up version of the copper trend of the previous year. The layering and the texture contribute to significant height and theatrics, and the color brings everything home. It is witty, interesting to look at, and the best transitional color in that we are rapidly coming out of iced coffee territory and into chai lattes.
I would take IGK Big time volume and thickening mousse as my volume. It creates a rather resistant framework that forms ponytails look fuller and more lively.
In case blonde or light brown hair is also your natural one, this shade can be unexpectedly quickly reached without excessive bleaching. It is an ideal door to the red family without total commitments.
And speaking of which, how brilliant does this come out in soft neutrals? Consider creamy makeup, ash grey sweaters, and boots, something that is all a fall chic.
Rock & Red Root Melt
Moody, bold, and a little rebellious—this root melt starts dark (almost charcoal) at the crown and softens into a smoldering red through the lengths. The cross hatching is unfinished and ragged and it provides further dynamics to the contrast of the two tones. It is the fall bob that is trendy and unknown but at the same time, it suits best the people who have dark natural base.
Styling-wise, you should use a matte finish cream, such as the Sand Castle Dry Texture Creme by R+Co, so it looks like you just woke up, but even more cool.
I like it on anyone who has been wearing bright reds in their lifetime but has a hankering to be darker. The darker roots feel more rooted (literally) in autumn, and the red keeps it from feeling too wintry.
This would be amazing on dark hair women who have brown highlights of fall. Have your stylist feather the red into the black in order to have a smooth melt.
Merlot Ribbon Waves
This look is all about depth and shine. These long waves are seen as running through with a deep merlot red that exudes the right portion of mystery like satin. The good part is that stylizing is clear, the amounts of layers are minimal, and the atmosphere is extravagant but not excessive. This fall color selection is not a hard choice since the tones take in the wine-styled overtones without being berry in design. It’s chic, it’s grown-up, and it flatters both fair skin and olive tones equally well.
To keep this sultry glow, color safe/hydrating masks are not to be left out. Redken Color Extend Magnetics Mask prevents the red color to wind up into a washed out color and adds that elastic stimulus to the hair.
When I found this color in the salon trend forecasts of 2025, I have ADDED it to my bookmarks right away. It reminds me of vintage film sirens with a modern twist—a little retro, but totally wearable in today’s soft glam world.
Want more dimension? Request some thin highlights to the front and tips of your hair, like you have hardly noticed, but there are enough to produce reflection of light.
Textured Bordeaux Bob with Fringe
A shaggy bob with a dramatic bottom in bordeaux color is more different in fall. The longer it is the better, at least for me, when it is accompanied with a choppy fringe and all that mistreated-but-not styling happening that we are all seeing. It’s giving underground cool, with a hint of softness. And due to its shorter shape it is the best illustration of the short hair trend in autumn, which becomes moody and easy simultaneously.
This cut thrives on volume. Apply ankle-length texturizer such as Verb Volume Dry Texture Spray and dab it dry using the fingers in the damp strands then blow dry or diffuse.
This is one of my favorites on city girls and creative girls or anyone who wants a sexy pixie but has to grow it out. It’s like a wearable rebellion—short, expressive, and not too “done.”
