When the leaves begin to change color and when the air is a bit crisper, there is no better time to update your look in accordance with the season. In 2025, fall hairstyles long hairs should all be about a cool nonchalance with just enough sophistication-in other words, easy, adorable and presentable looks that can get you through a day attending a casual coffee shop and then an evening on the town. Do you love classic plaits, straight classic tresses, casual bangs, or stand-out color statement in brunettes, blondes, or redheads, well this hair changing year, has filled styles that are going to make heads turn. Here are my top 25 fall looks which I feel are very fresh, flattering and very fall.
Low Wrapped Pony with Soft Waves
There are mornings when we just feel like wearing our hair in some hairstyle that is neither too much to do, nor too fabulous to be called casual. This is what this low wrapped pony gives and the roots of the hair is smooth and the flow of them falls into soft, cascading waves. The lil bit of the hair neatly rolled around the base conceals the elastic and immediately puts the entire look into a whole new level with the semblance of laxity-but-nonetheless-deliberate style. This style has the ability to bring out caramel or honey colors especially against an autumn brutal line of clothes on brunettes.
I prefer to spray on a weightless shine finish before starting to collect hair into a ponytail (I use Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine spray), to help keep the ends smooth. So that the waves stay put, take a 1.25-inch curling iron, alternating diagonal curl directions to add that lived-in touch. It is fuss-free after a blow dry and an excellent cool-down piece.
Personally, this is one of my favorite “meeting-to-movie” hairstyles. It is comfortable enough to wear the entire day, and still retains the shape when you casually add a scarf or coat collar. Hair on a tie usually feels like it is the difference between a simple tie and a fancy tie: Celebrity stylist Justine Marjan has been known to suggest scooping up some hair over the tie to give it that finished look, and she is absolutely right.
To add some aesthetic sense go with a chunky knit or trench coat. The plain design of the style provides the canvas to the accessories including pearls pins to velvet bows.
Rainbow Cornrow Braids with Gold Accents
But when fall skies grow drab, there is nothing like a multi-colored cascade of braids dusted with sunset hues and brass beads to spruce up your appearance. It is brash, artistic, and ready to party, but even better as an everyday look if you prefer your hair to do all the talking. The tight neat cornrows hold the hair under control but the wild colors–peach, coral, lemon, aqua–merge like an autumn market in high season.
Game-changer: Braided styles such as this one need a moisturizing preparatory treatment particularly in case you lightened your hair as a hair color. I would begin with a leave on conditioner like Keregaste curl Manifesto Cr“ blah product to keep the strands soft and supple in straitjacket style of braiding. Oiling along the scalp regularly also keeps one comfortable and shiny.
I also adore how this works into the trend of dopamine dressing in 2025 too it reminded me that autumn is not just about using dark color, and somber styles. Felicia LeatherwoodLots of celebrity braid artist Felicia Leatherwood will tell you color can be protective styling secret weapon, and she s right.
To take this look a step further, you can pop subtle iridescent beads or charms into it, they bring out that water-soft fall light perfectly.
Peach-Pink Half-Up Space Buns
It is the year of soft neon and this full set of peach-pink hair with the fun half-up buns is an evidence. The contrast of loose, free flowing texture verses perky, two-bun hairstyle make this an adorable concert choice, coffee shop hang or even a simple way to break the monotony of straight styles. It also brightens the skin immediately as it heats up your complexion on chillier fall days particularly on lighter skin tones.
Preserving this brightness of the fantasy colors, all that it takes is soft cleaning up. I suggest a sulfate-free shampoo such as Pureology Hydrate, and a color-depositing conditioner because it is meant to leave the aesthetic color cool. Styling requires heat protection, in particular, when you want to add wave definition.
To me the style is somewhat of a PSL in hair type, fun, sweet and just goes well with fall when you least expect it. This stamped the statement of Guy Tang, a colorist, who has talked extensively about the universality of peach on an international scale in combination with pink.
Are you scared of full-on color? Then clip-in styles in similar tones can allow you to experiment with the vibe before you take the plunge.
Double Braided Crown with Low Tails
The double braided crown is one that makes any symmetry minded-woman eagerly curvy. The hairline has two Dutch braids that extend to the nape and are secured at low twin ponytail to create a sporty romantic impression. It is both a reference to the schoolgirl look but updated to 2025 in pristine parted and sleek tension. It looks lovely on blonde hair to accentuate the weave pattern.
To last long without flyaways, rub a pea-sized amount of styling cream such as Oribe Creme for Style in your hair before you braid it down. The end then produces a shine mist proving to maintain it fresh even after several hours of usage.
This has become my beauty days when I know I will be out and about – weekend markets, trail walks etc where I like my hair out of my face yet the keep it cute. Stylist Kristin Ess suggests putting some clear elastics on the braids before tying the ponytails off so the ties are more hidden, and I can attest to the trick.
Wear them with gold hoops or a statement earring and the edge is achieved automatically.
Twist Braid with Polka-Dot Scarf
Others are simply comfy-looking fall hairdos: a loose twist braid accessorized with a polka-dot scarf is one such look. Hair accessory That scarf is your best piece of jewelry as it colours and prints your hair without dominating the loose braid. It is an ideal weekend brunch or pumpkin patch dress, due to the slightly undone finish.
The most important thing here is to maintain a smooth texture, without making it stiff I typically prefer a texturizing spray like Ouai Wave Spray. It also prevents the braid to come apart whilst keeping it moving.
Scarves are an easy way to fill in holes between summer and fall wardrobes in my personal wardrobe and they can tie together lighter knits and more autumnal layers. Once, hairstylist Jen Atkin said that hair accessories could serve as a trademark of persons and I could not agree more.
To give it an extra special touch use a deeper jewel tone satin ribbon in place of the scarf as the temperatures cool further.
Messy Half-Up Top Knot
Fall weekends come and sometimes what you need is just a simple style that frames the face and holds the hair out of the face. The sloppy half-up top knot is bandwidth between the undone and designed look with strands loosely tied together at the crown, immature, with the remaining hair in loosely bouncing sequence. On brunettes, the differentiation of color between the darker roots and the texture of the bun gives a flattering height, when combined with a set of gold hoops or a thick scarf.
It is as simple as spritzing the roots of dry shampoo to get a grip followed by getting a grip on the top part. I like Batiste’s Volumizing Dry Shampoo for a quick boost without residue. A light finger-twist of the ends before knotting will enable them hold shape without pins all over.
I almost always dress in it whenever I expect the day to have layers and texture- coffee in the morning, lunch out, possibly drinks in the evening. Celebrity hairstylist Kristin Ess suggests to pull out a few strands framing the face in order to soften all of it as it also goes into that aesthetic of effortless chic.
Long Loose Braids with Pearl Accents
Gentle swirls of pearl details in long flowing braids are few things like a crisp autumn afternoon. It combines the braids framing the face and long straight or wavy hair, which have a romantic, a bit airy effect. The typography and pearls inject some sophistication, so it can be used during the daytime or evening plans.
They can either have pearl decorations that are pinned on or attached with thread, I would suggest selecting them to be lightweight, and hence they do not add any weight to fine hair. I also love to include a squeeze of Biosilk Silk Therapy onto the lengths to add a sheen and help control frizz (it will help boost the contrast between the white and braids and the rest of the hair).
This is another of these styles that makes people admire it even though you may not be trying to do so. It is a trick Justine Marjan frequently employs to make a braid look holiday-ready without sacrificing its off-duty vibe and it is an ideal trick to bring to the fall events next year.
Feathered Bangs with Ombre Lengths
Feathered bangs and ombre lengths: Unless you weren’t craving a hairstylist that changes your entire mood with a single clip of the scissors, feathered bangs with ombre lengths are the hair trend to consider this fall hairstyle 2020 season. The eyes are surrounded by the soft fringe and the blonde fade through the lengths down the lengths brightens the whole thing. It is punk with no excessiveness at all, especially when worn sleek and straight.
The secret to keeping the ombre bright is to use purple shampoo once a week, I recommend Fanola No Yellow, it will keep the ombre far away of brassiness. Since bangs are relatively short, they lock in a fast morning blow-dry with a round brush so that it does not get straight.
Personally, I love this look for its instant personality. As hairstylist Anh Co Tran has repeated, fringe (especially this one) can serve as an accessory you never want to remove, and with those color combinations, it is fitted with a free glow filter.
Double Dutch Braids with Loose Strands
Double Dutch braids will no longer be just gym related, in 2025 it will be entered into the streetworld of fashion. They are pragmatic, sleek and exceptionally versatile as they are tied tightly along the scalp down to the ends. The tricks to it are its soft and fluffy strands that are left out in the front, softening the construction and adding a more beautiful final touch. The ideal of blonde tones that demonstrates the braid pattern in the best way.
I suggest a fine layer of still slightly damp hair and leave in cream such as Kefastase LIncroyable blowdry works great to smooth and hold. Whenever you tie the braids loosen them a little bit to get a soft silhouette.
I have worn it on days out to the market and also to travel days, it holds together but does not feel too harsh. The tip Bradier Sarah Potempa had to offer is to tilt your hands downwards when braiding so that the tension is balanced and flattering around the head.
Side-Swept Cornrow into Long Braid
This fashion is a demonstration that a braid may be aggressive and elegant at the same time. The hair itself is pulled back into tight side cornrows leading to one, long braid hanging off the shoulder. The combination between the smooth look that is near to the scalp braid and the thicker plait is quite dramatic, and the side swept style of giving an elegant touch.
It makes a perfect choice in more formal situations but I do love adding a hint of shine serum such as Paul Mitchell Super Skinny to the braid when I want it to have a shinier demeanor in evening lights.
In my case it is the hair version of a statement earring it is intense, ornate and attention-getting. Vernon Francois, a celebrity stylist frequently reminds people that the positioning of braids is capable of making an overhaul to the energy of a look, and this design brings confidence in every follicle.
High Braided Ponytail for Redheads
Autumnal light falling on natural red hair tones is sheer magic–and a high-braided pony tail such as this makes the most of it. There are the braid on the crown followed by glamorous, voluminous curls that make a statement- silhouette being cosmic as well as feminine. It is a fall hairstyle of long hairs that would go along the day until 7 pm, an occasion during crisp nights out.
As far as styling, I would recommend, before using a blow drier, a strong-hold volumizing mousse such as Kenra Volume Mousse to keep the ponytail lifted up. With curling added to the ends with a medium-barrel curling iron, that romantic wave is achieved. Should you want the braids to pop even more, you may apply a light spray mist of shine to give it a definite, high-polish look.
I personally like this style as it grasps that autumn drama but it is not too fussy, either. The trick to a great ponytail according to stylist Adir Abergel is the foundation- it should be tight at the crown, sleek at the sides and there has to be movement in the length.
Glossy Brunette Waves
Deep brunettes with their cascading feathery curls have something of eternity about them. The richness of the roots color spilling into light tones of highlights is adorable in case of the cooler fall days, and the mid-length waves flatter the face in the best way possible. This is elegance with a whisper of effortlessness.
Carrying on this texture, I adore to use 1.5-inch curling iron and alternate the directions of curls to achieve a natural bend. And end by spraying a light hold using Oribe Superfine Hair Spray.
To me, this aesthetic is a modernized version of old-Hollywood glam and hence one of my favourite seasonal styles to use on events. Stylist Tracey Cunningham tends to point out that right shade of brunette can make your skin glow even when there is no makeup in here and these dimensional highlights do so, too.
Sleek High Ponytail
Slim but dramatic, a chic high bun is always enviously in-style (though it should be higher and more refined in 2025) and the streamlined high-ponytail is going to be a yet popular invention. Drawn together at the crown, the length hangs dead straight, and throws back all the light. It is the extreme version of the less means more style to the people who admire sharp lines and polish.
Keeping a style like this smooth all day means using a smoothing serum (like Paul Mitchell’s Gloss Drops) and a fine-tooth comb to control flyaways. I always tie mine using elastics on top of each other so that they get an added lift and finally, I cover them using a thin strand of hair.
This is my standby superhair style the one that makes you feel taller. Stylist Chris Appleton masters this style on celebrities and his tip to small-section flat-iron first, and then collect the ponytail is actually the key to the mirror effect.
Twisted Half-Up Curls
The twisted half-up curl is the best intermediate when you need something that has texture but is not a complete updo. The hair is pulled back to the temples in two sections that are pinned and the rest of the hair falls down in big curly bouncing curls. It is lighthearted, but refined and the dimension looks stunning on blonde or balayaged tones.
I prefer curling using the medium-hold hairspray and then touching it which also holds the bounce of the curls without the crunchiness. A light oil such as Ouai Hair Oil through the ends is amazing on shine.
The style seems to have a place at any fall event ranging between a wedding to a winery afternoon. Hairstylist Jen Atkin said that just a little twist before pinning hair back takes a half-up style to a whole new level and I can absolutely confirm that every time.
Classic Straight and Sleek
Sometimes the most powerful statement is restraint. The long straight hair with smooth center part is classic, chic and versatile to fit most of the outfits. The autumn sun shines off of dark brunettes in the most subtle manner.
The trick to keeping this style flawless is a heat protectant (like GHD Heat Protect Spray) and a pass with a high-quality flat iron. I can never ignore the finishing off of a drop of argan oil to seal the cuticle.
It is my personal reset look; when I have had too many curls or braids in a line going sleek is like a fresh breath of air. Stylist Harry Josh used to say several times that shine is the luxury in hair, and with this simple style, it is actually the star.
Voluminous Blonde Curls
Voluminous, bouncy and openly glamorous the voluminous blond curls will be a full moment in 2025. This style lives through textures with each curl giving it depth and flow. It instantly cheers you up and since it is wintertime, nothing goes better with it than chunky sweaters and black lipstick. This long hair style is suitable to long hairs as it takes the best of the existing curl patterns or a properly applied perm.
To make sure the curls do not frizz, I would apply a curl enhancing product to wet hair such as the Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream and then diffuse on low heat. An oil can be scrunch-dried in afterwards, to add shine.
This style has always attracted me to start a conversation because it is not so easy to speak without mentioning the volume and the shine. According to curl guru Shai Amiel, moisture is the basis of long lasting curls and none could agree more with this proclamation.
Long Dutch Braid
The Dutch braid is very long and at the same time organized and romantic. Beginning high at the crown and stitched through to the end, it forms a rather decisive, non-stop line that compliments blonde tones with all their twists and turns quite well.
Clean, separated hair is important to do braiding to this style. A touch of styling mousse before braiding can provide grip, without making things rigid again, and again I have a personal favourite: Redken Full Frame 07.
This is my goto on day when I want control without giving up style. The final trick is an easy one, celebrity braider Sarah Potempa will tell you to gently tug each piece out once you are done to get that more full and dimensional look and truly it makes a world of difference.
Natural Brunette Curls
The brushed-out, definer brunettes curls just seem to always appear decadent. They are the ideal combination of polished and casual because of their natural volume at the roots and a delineated pattern through the lengths.
Here, the most important thing is hydration I suggest to use leave-in conditioner when washing like Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In. Air-drying on low maintains the shape of the curl and a little serum on the ends will complete the style.
For me, this style channels that effortless Parisian energy. A quite understandable golden rule, which is stated and proven by curly hair specialist Vernon Francois, is that following natural texture rather than over-processing curls makes them healthier and more alive.
Double Boxer Braids
Double boxer braids are sleek but at the same time practical braids that work well during a busy fall day. The clean separation in the middle and close braiding on the head itself is an impressive sporty-chic look, and it turns out to be quite versatile there is no problem wearing a leather jacket and getting a certain edge.
I enjoy smoothing hair using a smoothing cream, then I can brush to give it control of flyaways. The more the tension at the beginning the longer the style can last and carry over to the following day.
This is what I personally use as my travel hairstyle, it keeps secure under hats and won’t go loose. Stylist Jen Atkin likes to extol the virtues of boxer braids as one that has style and substance and she is right, absolutely.
High Textured Ponytail
The high textured ponytail presents when you need it all; height, volume and movement. Perfect with a raised crown and unruly waves falling at the length, it works beautifully whether in your everyday or a more glammed-up occasion. The high lights and the low lights can be seen clearly on the brunettes in the curves of the ponytail.
As a way in the effort to retain the height, I suggest teasing it at the crown area and I seal it with a strong-hold product such as Loreal Elnett. That lifted bouncy look is enhanced by curly ends turned away.
I just adore this as a night-out-look, definitely not over I find it perfect, without making it look too much. The tip that hairstylist Chris Appleton uses is to run a large portion of hair around the base, which will always make it have a runway-ready finish.
Neat Cornrows into Long Braids
Symmetrical and fresh braids starting from tightly braided cornrow on the head and ending on breath-taking long and sleek braids are classic and modern at the same time. This is a long hairs fall hairstyle that is pragmatic in keeping the hairs out of the face but also has an undeniably great street style cred. The hairline detailing and the tidiness of plaiting mean that it is one style that you can pull off over a few days yet you look put together.
To keep the scalp comfortable, I prefer to use a light-weight leave in conditioner along the parts prior to braiding. Put a smidgen of oil at night to keep the braids fresh.
To me this is the practical and trendy type of hairstyle. Vernon Francois, in making a statement, as an expert celebrity stylist, commonly exclaims that cornrows can be appropriate at any event- it is the finishing and accessories that make them malleable.
Face-Framing Layers with Honey Balayage
The face-framing layers and soft honey balayage add that windswept effortless vibe: the kind that make you look like you were out on a magazine shoot but did nothing to impress. The highlighters bring out the complexion and highlight the eyes and it is ideal to the golden light of fall.
I prefer blow drying the front pieces with a round brush to add movement. A color-safe shampoo such as Pureology Strength Cure is required to keep the color.
It is one of my favorite looks when I have to look polished, but not be too informal. Stylist Tracey Cunningham advises a balayage to those who prefer to grow-out colour without needing to touch-up too frequently and those brunettes who want some dimension.
Rose and Burgundy Half-Up with Bow
Those who prefer amusing, girlish touch of the hair would be bright to choose half-up look that consists of rose and burgundy color with a bow on the top of the head as their cute autumn look. Blush to deep wine is rich and romantic in color but then youthful and vintage in the bow also.
Managing keeping red bright will involve a frequent application of a color-depositing conditioner. The intensity also remains by not washing in hot water.
When I see this one I instantly think of the cold outside market stalls and autumn fairs- a hairstyle that just goes so well with cable knit jumpers and a bold red lip.
Sunset Ombre Waves
Bright, graduated hair is an up-and-coming 2025 trend with sunset ombre (a transition of dark wine to fiery orange and light yellow) being nothing short of a statement. It is a daring decision by people who are fond of high playing with colors and who want to be noticed in the seas of autumn grays.
Fantasy colors like these need TLC. I am sworn by Redken Color Extend Magnetics to maintain the color.
I have always loved how even the most basic wave is turned into a portrayal of beauty with this type of color. Hairstylist Guy Tang frequently describes hair as wearable art and this is precisely this.
Low Braided Ponytail with Scarf
Two loose plaits that come together at the back of a low ponytail that is tied using a patterned scarf look rustically seasonal and sweet. It is a casual style with some fun in it but with easy functionality, an ideal weekend at the farmer market, or out on a casual day.
I prefer to wear scarves in warm autumn shades that will suit the autumn. When a ponytail finishes short, a lightweight styling cream is a marvel to smooth it out.
This hair design is like the last page of a Pinterest board, comfy, able to be worn, and entirely fall ready.
Whether you prefer simple haircare approachable, easy-to-maintain everyday styles or want to make a bolder, statement-promoting change with a vibrant, head-turning color change, this list of the best fall hairstyle on long hair in 2025 shows that there is never any shortage of options when it comes to shaking up your appearance this season. Will it be flowing and carefree waves, detailed braids, straight smooth hair, or some pop of color, the point is the same- whatever makes you feel good and a bit more yourself. Hair is the most personal statement of mood and why not involve autumn with inviting colors and warm textures to inform your next style?
