The Hottest Fall 2025 Hair Trends Are All About Looking Perfectly Undone

The hottest hair trend on and off the runways is hair that’s effortlessly textured and perfectly messy. This look is all about enhancing your hair’s natural texture–as if you’re waking up the morning after a fun night out. “To conjure this mood, layer in Kérastase Mousse Bouffante for instant body, sculpt the waves with a round brush and the Airtight Pro blow dryer, and finish with Kérastase Volume In Powder Texture Spray,” says celebrity hairstylist Cesar Ramirez. “The result is a rich collision of softness and strength that’s effortlessly cool.”

2025 is the year of the bob, and the short style isn’t forfeiting its crown any time soon. “Bobs are trending because they strike the perfect balance between structure and versatility, offering a fresh, modern take on a classic cut,” says Ramirez. The textured blunt bob combines sharp, clean lines with soft internal layering and choppy ends, creating dimension without sacrificing polish. The key is effortless, lived-in volume and movement while maintaining the sharp, defined edge. This haircut is praised for being low-maintenance yet high-style—ideal for those seeking a bold yet wearable look.

Call it what you want—cowboy copper, deep auburn, dark cherry—rich red tones will once again be all the rage this fall season. “Rich, warm, brown-copper tones are having a major moment,” Ramirez says. “The color combines the perfect brunette glow with dimensional, natural-looking warmth that flatters a wide range of skin tones.” It’s subtle sophistication and a refreshing move away from overly cool or icy shades—embracing depth, softness, and retro glamour. If you do join the red train, be sure to use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner, and wash with cold water.

Craving a fresh haircut that brings depth without the bold commitment of a bob? Soft, wispy curtain bangs are calling your name. They’re “a timeless, face-framing hairstyle characterized by a center part and delicately swept sides that create a soft, romantic, and effortlessly lived-in look,” Ramirez says. These longer, less-blunt bangs gently graze the cheekbones, adding instant allure to a classic blowout or ponytail. Universally flattering across all face shapes, the style enhances natural features with elegance and ease.

After years of leaning into sleek, slicked-back styles, hair trends are taking a messier turn. As Ramirez puts it, “In fall 2025, grunge returns not as a throwback, but as a rebellion against hyper-polished perfection.” The rebellious hairstyle of choice? An effortless low bun that blurs the line between bun and ponytail, for that lived-in, casual look. To get there, “start by adding some grit with Kérastase Fresh Affair Dry Shampoo. Then, gather your hair into a ponytail, and on the final loop, twist as if creating a bun—stopping just short to let the ends fall free.” In the front, pull a few strands forward to frame the face and soften the edge.
