Key Takeaways
- Arguably the biggest hair trend of 2025, bobs, in the form of the swinging bob, sleek short, and strong bobs will continue to trend into the fall season.
- Shaggy layers, face-framing fringe, and a ’90s layering callback are more trends to look out for when fall starts.
Face-Framing Fringe
If you’ve been wanting to try bangs for a while, this fall is the perfect time to do so. Celebrity hairstylist and Fekkai Five ambassador Jenny Cho says to go all in with face-framing fringe.
Fringe can be worn in many ways, from short blunt sides or wispy layers. Cho is a fan of pairing it with loose waves and recommends using something like the Fekkai Clean Stylers Glossing Cream+ to give your waves some definition and shine.
Swinging Bob
Bobs transcend any season thanks to their versatility and will continue to be huge once the weather cools. “It’s a great opportunity to cut off summer dead ends and have a fresh, chic style for scarf-and-turtleneck weather,” says Mara Roszak, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Rōz. “Bobs are versatile and there is truly a style for all hair textures.”
Roszak says to opt for a bob with lots of swinging movement. To get that cool-girl vibe, she emphasizes a good hair-care regimen to make sure hair is strong and healthy. Something like the new Rōz Foundation Mask will keep hair hydrated and treat damage. You can also add a side-swept deep side part to give your short hair some body.
Boho Braids
For low-maintenance protective styles, celebrity hairstylist Lacy Redway says goddess braids, a.k.a. boho braids, will continue to trend into the fall. You can even sweep your braids into a high pony, as seen here by Tyla, for a chic going-out look.
Shaggy Layers
Long layers are an easy way to elevate any look at every length. As far as haircut trends go, Cho likes a shag cut and recommends using a body-building spray to give your hair some added volume and bounce.
Sleek Short
Roszak says fall is all about the sleek blowouts with the super smooth feel. Redway agrees and says to take it a step further with the slicked-back short look, using something like the Nexxus Slick Stick for control that won’t weigh hair down.
1960s Retro
Whether you’re feeling a sleek high pony or an elevated beehive updo, Redway says that ’60s hairstyles will be our main source of inspiration this fall. Here, she styled Jessie Murph’s long hair into a sleek, high Priscilla Presley–esque bouffant with added volume to the ends for a really pretty look.
Polished Updos
Very demure. Very mindful. A perfect go-to for when you have somewhere fabulous to be (or when you want to look put together and cute on an apple-picking trip), a polished updo is Cho’s choice for the best hairstyles this fall.
Rocker Edge
Cho also says to channel your inner rock star and go for messy waves and texture. Something like Miley Cyrus’s two-toned waves is just so effortlessly cool.
Bows on Bows
Blair Waldorf–inspired headbands. Coquette bows. The Lelet pony cuff. Both Cho and Redway agree that hair accessories will be a heavy focus for everyone this fall. “I feel like we are not done seeing thick headbands and exaggerated bows,” Redway says. “A hair accessory is always a great way to express your style and a way to change up your hairstyle.”
Au Naturel Hair
Redway says she’s had more clients celebrating their curly hair and natural textures, and predicts that we’ll continue seeing many people let their curls out. Tracee Ellis Ross’s voluminous ’fro, for example, sits right at her collarbone for a regal look.
Blonde Ambition
Experts are calling it: Blonde will be the hottest hair color trend come fall. Redway says to opt for a warmer tone and consult with your colorist to find the right shade that will complement your skin tone. Sabrina Carpenter’s honey blonde is luxe and cozy, just as the fall season should be.
The Glossy Blowout
One can never go wrong with this classic style, but for fall 2025, celebrity hairstylist David Von Cannon says a glossy blowout is the way to go. “I would not be surprised if we see more bounce of a return to that big and beautiful finish for the fall,” Von Cannon says.
To style, he recommends a volume spray to add some body and structure and to lock it in with a flexible hairspray like the L’Oreal Elnett Extra Strong Hairspray. “It’s soft, it holds, and it brushes out easily,” he says.
Lived-In Shag
Shags in general will be trending well into the fall season, but Von Cannon says you’ll definitely see more casual, lived-in textures. For that, he recommends using something like Crown Affair’s Dry Texture Foam to give hair support without making the hair feel too stiff.
1990s Layering
Fall 2025 may be the year of “The Rachel” comeback. Von Cannon says that we’ll be seeing layered cuts inspired by the iconic Friends character everywhere, just with more volume and fullness. “Not the overly ironed version, but a big, glossy, bounce finish that feels a little more luxurious,” he says.
Strong Bobs
The year 2025 has been the year of the bob, and this fall, Von Cannon says you’ll be seeing more blunt, voluminous, structured, or sleek bobs. “A strong bob still making the rounds, in a few different versions,” he says. For these more defined cuts, he recommends using something like the Rōz Milk Hair Serum, as it gives hair some volume without being too heavy on strands.
