Autumn is the ideal time to refresh and change your look. The new season is less about drastic changes than about a desire for natural beauty, hair with movement and colour with depth and shine. This autumn, soft lines, effortless hairstyles and shades that highlight individuality without looking too artificial lead the way.
Which hairstyles are in fashion this autumn?
1. The bob – a classic with a modern feel
The bob remains one of the most popular choices. This autumn it is softer and more natural, with delicately shaped ends and gentle movement. The length can sit around the chin or reach the shoulders, allowing for many variations depending on face shape and hair texture.
2. Long layers and face-framing strands
With long hair, the focus is on layers that add volume and emphasise the facial features. It is a good choice for women who want a change without giving up their length.
3. Effortless bangs and soft contours
Curtain bangs and airy strands around the forehead and cheekbones create a romantic look. They work well with long hair as well as with a bob or a more relaxed, layered style.
4. Natural texture instead of over-styling
Hair that looks alive and moving, rather than fixed to perfection, takes centre stage. Soft waves, natural volume and loosely falling strands create a sense of effortless style.
Which hair colours are on trend this autumn?
If softness and natural movement lead the way in hairstyles, the trend in colour is towards rich, multi-dimensional shades, warm reflections and a healthy shine. Instead of one uniform colour from root to tip, people are looking for shades that create depth and blend harmoniously with their natural hair colour.
1. Chocolate brown – depth and elegance
This colour suits women looking for a classic look with a luxurious feel.
2. Cherry Cola – dark brown with a reddish tint
This is one of the more distinctive colour trends this autumn. The base is dark brown, while the red and burgundy reflections look especially beautiful in the light. The shade suits brunettes who want to add character and colour without switching to bright red hair.
3. Copper and chestnut with warm red tones
Copper and chestnut shades are back with a softer, more refined feel. From delicate cinnamon to rich chestnut with copper reflections, these colours bring warmth to a look and are a great choice for autumn.
4. Honey and golden blonde with brown nuances
Cool, almost white blonde is giving way to softer, multi-dimensional variations. Honey, caramel and golden highlights add warmth without necessarily requiring the whole head to be lightened. Golden blonde combined with brown nuances is a good option for a subtle change after summer.
5. Mushroom Blonde – beige blonde with an ashy undertone
For fans of more neutral colours, so-called Mushroom Blonde remains on trend – a mix of beige, ashy and slightly greyish shades. The result is elegant, without overly yellow or golden reflections.
Balayage and fine highlights remain a favourite among women
For women who do not want to colour all of their hair, balayage and fine highlights are a great alternative. The technique is especially suited to a more natural grow-out and easier maintenance.
Whichever hairstyle or colour you choose, the most important thing is to feel good in your own skin. Fashion trends can be an inspiration, but a truly beautiful look is one that highlights your individuality and makes you like yourself. Because confidence and the feeling of being beautiful in your own way never go out of fashion.
