Fall Hair Trends 2025: 15 Styles You’ll Love

If you have longer locks and don’t want them to fall flat, consider ’90s long layers. With this look, you can channel your inner Victoria’s Secret model and enjoy long, luscious tresses that are expertly styled with lengthy, magnificent layers. Not too choppy or too short, you can easily craft your locks with a sexy blowout, beautiful waves, or a trendy half-updo with ease.

Craving volume? We don’t blame you. Volume is fun, enticing, and the easiest way to grab attention from a crowd – it’s no wonder why this hairstyle was a ’60s “must-wear!” Whether you’re looking to recreate Audrey Hepburn’s famous Breakfast at Tiffany’s style or want to put together something slightly more modern, you can’t go wrong with the beehive look in 2025.

The beehive is certainly an “in your face” type of look that doesn’t apologize for being over the top. But some women and circumstances demand a softer, daintier aesthetic, and the messy princess updo is there to answer the call. With waves/curls, strands loose around the face, and no hair pulled too tight, this updo is ideal for the “I woke up royal” appearance. 

If there is one haircut that’s taking over women’s hair trends in 2025, it’s undeniably the French bob. The look is classic, chic, and gives off the impression you’ve just left a Paris cafe – what more could you want? Cut straight across at chin-length and effortlessly styled with a pinch of waves and textured bangs, this artsy and modelesque style is an ideal pick for fall 2025.

Bangs tend to come and go, but for fall 2025, they’re back with a “bang.” Curtain bangs are an excellent way to get your foot in the door. Not only are they popular this year, but they’re also graceful, frame the face eloquently, and look perfect on any face shape.

Are you a gal who likes to live life on the edge? Not afraid to get too wild? Then you need a hairstyle that matches your vibe – and shaggy curls are it. Tousled to utter imperfection and loaded with carefree volume, shaggy curls are the 70s-inspired tresses you’ve been waiting to unveil. 

Another Bob hairstyle? You bet. Bobs are undeniably the hottest cut for women in fall 2025, and while the French Bob is undoubtedly cool, the bell-bottom Bob is more about being sweet, flirty, and playful. With subtle outward flips on the bottom, women can wear their cutesy personality on the outside with pride.

Boring ponytails are so 2024. In 2025, the ponytail style craze is none other than the bouffant. Known for its larger-than-life height and volume, the bouffant levels up any traditional ponytail immediately, leaving you with an updo that’s suited for the Red Carpet; after all, if you took a look at any recent star-studded event, you’d have thought you went back in time due to all of the bouffant pony looks!

Chopping your locks into a pixie haircut can be daunting. But if you’re ready to go with a very short ‘do for fall 2025, don’t worry – you don’t have to dive headfirst into the pixie realm. Instead, opt for the bixie, otherwise known as the magnificent lovechild of edgy pixies and cute bobs.

If you’re looking for a protective hairstyle that makes you look and feel like a literal goddess, try on goddess braids for size. Goddess braids are known for blending cornrow braids with loosely curled locks, creating a “lived-in” hairstyle that’s both regal and ethereal. 

Cornrows? Always a classic, regardless of the season. Thankfully, if you’re a “cornrow stan,” you’ll appreciate this being a hit choice for women’s hair in fall 2025. However, don’t just stop at expert braiding techniques. This year, incorporate beads into your look to achieve the ultimate aesthetic that’s strictly yours. 

We’ve seen plenty of updos on this list that lend more towards being vibrant and exciting (we’re looking at you, bouffant ponytail). But not all occasions call for a voluminous and showy style. Sometimes, you need something more “clean” and polished. Enter: the slicked-back bun, which is the embodiment of avant-garde and refined.

We can introduce the bouncy blowout first by saying “Thank you” to Sabrina Carpenter. Is she the first one to rock this magnetic style? Of course, not. But she’s the most recent icon to bring it back to life, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Loaded with seductive volume and irresistible movement, this is undeniably a top hairstyle for women in fall 2025.

In recent years, “90s vibes” has become a fashion staple – from head to toe. Well, now’s your chance to dip into some more 90s nostalgia by breaking out the claw clips. It’s, like, totally, cool. So cool, you might even tell your friends to “talk to the hand” while you’re feeling like “all that and a bag of chips.”

Curls and waves are great textures, but they’re lacking that chic throwback energy that crimped locks provide. Does that mean the Spice Girls are making a comeback? Maybe not, but their crimped hair is certainly making a fierce comeback. Go ahead, ladies – find your hair crimper hiding in the back of your bathroom cabinet, blow the dust off, and get to work!
