Trending Hair Colors For Fall 2025
Chocolate brown with caramel highlights
Like your favorite fall coffee, this deliciously decadent color combo blends deep chocolatey browns with warm caramel highlights. The rich brunette base offers classic charm, but the addition of caramel ribbons creates a soft, eye-grabbing dimension that feels cozy yet polished.
To keep the highlights from turning brassy, use a color-safe, shine-enhancing shampoo like Smooth Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner. For extra brass control, consider adding Toning Drops to your conditioner!
This color is extra fabulous on glossy hair, so use Smooth Drops for a silky, glass-like finish.
Cinnamon spice, ginger spice, or a cinnamon-ginger gloss
Red has been all the rage in the hair color world for over a year now, culminating in this season’s top reddish hues: warm, fiery cinnamon and ginger, whether all-over color or a glossy overlay. Cinnamon leans more true red, while ginger features more warm oranges and golden undertones.
But there’s a catch: red is one of the hardest colors to maintain! So, in addition to using hydrators like Moisture Shampoo and Moisture Conditioner, be extremely diligent about using heat protectants, whether through Moisture Styling Crème, Lift It® Mousse, or Essential Leave-In.
Multidimensional cherry cola
Speaking of reds, the Dua Lipa-inspired cherry cola is still in style—offering a darker, spookier alternative to bright ginger. The base is actually a deep brunette with swirls of crimson and plum!
For maximum shine and silkiness (pillars of Dua’s look), use Cuticle Closer as a weekly intensive treatment. It adds fluidity, frizz control, and glossy shine for a polished, elegant finish.
Before heat styling, follow up with Plush Locks Leave-In Smooth® to support damage control and impart even more silkiness!
Sleek silver, this time with warm undertones
Have you struggled to maintain cool silvers in the paste? Now might be the time to revisit the chic style: this season, silver shades are evolving with subtle warmth for a softer, more wearable metallic—think champagne or beige undertones.
Purple products like Toning Duo are still important for maintaining this look, but use them sparingly to avoid overcooling. For example, try using Moisture Shampoo and Moisture Conditioner, regularly to impart color-boosting hydration, then rotate in Weekly Blonde Masque just weekly or every other week.
Contrasting roots for max manageability
Rooted looks are finally back, but this time, the contrast is intentional. Think darker natural roots blending into lighter mids and ends, creating a fashion-forward, yet low-maintenance, easy-to-grow-out style.
Whether a dirty blonde base with old money highlights or deep brunette roots transitioning into cool silver, this grounded, earthy approach aligns well with fall’s cozy, restorative vibes!
To draw attention to your mid-length and end color, focus on volume. Enter, of course, Volume Shampoo and Volume Conditioner! This handy duo boosts body and bounce, delivering optimum fullness and weightless body so everyone can spot each layer of your multi-dimensional style.
