Autumn is officially here and if there’s one thing it brings along with cooler weather, it’s a whole bunch of new hair trends for the colder months. Whether you’ve been wanting to change your look for a while or you’re just wanting to know what’s in store in the hair world for the next few months, we’ve got you covered!

The hottest hair colours for autumn…

Scandi hairline 

No doubt you’ve seen this one all over IG and TikTok, the Scandi hairline has been taking socials by storm in the lead up to autumn. This is the hair hack that will make you feel like it’s still summer thanks to its hair and face brightening effects!

The Scandi hairline technique involves lightening the baby hairs around your hair a shade or two lighter than the rest of your hair colour. It helps to give you a natural, sun-kissed, brightened appearance that will make you look like you just got back from a beachside holiday even as we venture deep into autumn! 

Honey Blonde

In case you missed it, influencers and celebs everywhere have been ditching their platinum locks and opting for a more natural honey blonde instead. Natural, grown-out, honey blonde is the move for autumn, and it gets bonus points for being so much easier to maintain than platinum. 

It’s rich, it’s creamy and it helps to make you look like you’re glowing even as the weather cools down. Move over ‘bronde’, honey blonde is the new IT girl hair colour! 

Warm brown

As the weather cools down and autumn makes itself known, it may seem like everybody and their mum is wanting to dye their hair dark in the lead up to winter but it’s time to put down the chocolate brown box dye and opt for warmer brown hues instead. 

Warm brown tones coupled with a few face-framing highlights will have you looking alive all autumn long and the best bit? This colour looks good on everyone!

Chunky Highlights 

If you’re bored of balayage and you’re wanting to spice up your look, chunky highlights are the way to go. You don’t have to have quite as much contrast as you might remember Xtina rocking, but adding chunky honey blonde highlights to your brunette locks can really level up your look for Autumn.

The cuts you’ll be seeing EVERYWHERE

Blunt cuts

Blunt cuts are back in a big way, and it’s not just the blunt bob making a comeback – celebs everywhere are chopping their locks into medium-length cuts with blunt ends. Blunt haircuts are the move for autumn, not only do regular chops keep your ends sharp, it also helps to keep your hair healthy, shiny and add bounce! 

Ditch the long layers and instead opt for a blunt chop that helps your hair appear fuller, more voluminous and so much healthier! 

Box bob 

It’s everything you know and love about a bob but with so much less maintenance! This relaxed take on the bob is so much easier to maintain, especially as the weather cools down for autumn. 

The box bob is a softer, more grown-out version of the classic blunt bob but the box bob frames the face without harsh lines and helps to add volume, bounce and texture to your locks for autumn. 

Side bangs

It's millennials time to shine with the resurgence of the side fringe. Whilst you may be thinking that side bangs are so 2010, we’re here to tell you they’re back and better than ever! Side bangs have had a grown-up glow up for autumn, perfect for adding sharp angles, elongating your jawline and adding some extra definition to those cheekbones. 

The side swept bangs are back for autumn and it looks like they’re definitely here to stay.
