Fall 2025 Hair Trends We’re Loving (And How to Make Them Yours)
As the weather cools down and the layers come out, your hair deserves a little seasonal shift too. This fall, the trends are all about texture, movement, and warm, dimensional tones—with styles that feel soft, lived-in, and effortlessly modern.
Whether you’re ready for a big change or just need a subtle refresh, here are the top hair trends for Fall 2025—and how to get them with Chicago stylist Allen Wiggs, now styling in the heart of River North.
🍯 1. Bambi Brunette
Warm. Glossy. Effortlessly rich.
This shade is trending everywhere for a reason—it brings depth and radiance to brunettes with soft caramel and beige undertones. It’s flattering on nearly every skin tone and gives that “expensive hair” feel without going full blonde.
Perfect for: Summer blondes going back to their roots, brunettes craving a glow-up, and anyone ready to bring richness back to their color.
🌾 2. Boho Blonde
Lived-in and low-maintenance.
Boho Blonde blends soft highlights with a slightly darker root for a natural, sun-kissed look that works year-round. Think: beachy blonde grows up—subtle dimension, soft grow-out, and a warm finish perfect for fall light.
Pro tip: Allen uses glosses and toners to keep your blonde from going brassy as the seasons shift.
✂️ 3. The Butterfly Bob
Soft structure with movement.
This trending cut features layers that flutter around the chin and jawline, creating volume and flow without feeling heavy. It’s the ideal transitional cut—fresh and flattering, but still long enough to style a dozen ways.
Ask Allen for a version customized to your face shape and styling habits.
🧃 4. Bottleneck Bangs
Fringe—but make it wearable.
These soft, center-split bangs frame the face without committing to a full blunt fringe. They blend seamlessly into layers and are easy to grow out (or grow into).
Perfect for: Anyone who wants a fresh new vibe without going full curtain or micro bang.
☕ 5. Copper Glow
Red without the high maintenance.
Copper and strawberry shades are still going strong—but this season, they’re softer, deeper, and paired with brunette or golden undertones for a more natural effect. Think: burnt cinnamon, spiced peach, or golden rust.
Allen custom-blends tones to match your skin and natural base color—so the copper looks like it was always meant to be there.
