5 Autumn/Winter 2025 Hair Trends You’ll See Everywhere

As Fashion Week takes over our feeds this September, one thing is certain: Autumn/Winter 2025 hair trends are set to be bold, nostalgic, and unapologetically expressive. From waist-skimming waves with a witchy edge to glossy blondes and fiery reds, the season ahead reflects a collective mood: a desire to balance statement-making style with an underlying sense of comfort and care.

At SILKE London, we know that the most striking looks always begin with hair health. No matter the shade, length, or texture, condition and shine are what make a trend feel elevated rather than experimental. Below, we share the five hair trends destined to define Autumn/Winter 2025, alongside expert tips and product recommendations to help you achieve them with minimal effort and maximum results.

The Trends Defining Autumn/Winter 2025

1. Wiccan Waves

Nostalgia has long been a powerful force in fashion and beauty, and this season it manifests in dark, romantic waves that feel equal parts ethereal and grounded. The trend draws inspiration from Florence Welch’s Ceremonials era, gothic glamour at Rodarte, and the brooding undertones of Rick Owens and Dilara Findikoglu. Come A/W 2025, Wiccan Waves will be the season’s defining hair moment.

The look: long, mermaid-like lengths, thinned out at the ends, with a natural, air-dried texture. The beauty is in the effortlessness. Simply part your hair down the middle, loosely braid both sides while damp, and allow it to dry. Undo the braids for soft, lived-in texture that whispers rather than shouts.

The SILKE way: secure braids with SILKE Hair Ties, designed to hold without snagging or snapping fragile ends. Unlike elastic bands, silk prevents unnecessary breakage and keeps hair glossy. For those already blessed with long hair, this trend requires almost no styling tools - making it as low-maintenance as it is impactful.

2. Bessette Blonde

With Ryan Murphy’s forthcoming American Love Story set to shine a light on Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in 2026, her influence is already rippling through fashion and beauty. Just as she epitomised timeless minimalism in the ’90s, the Bessette Blonde is emerging as the new gold standard for luxury hair colour.

The look: warm, honey-blonde tones with a glossy finish that feels sophisticated, not showy. Unlike the cooler, icy blondes of recent years, this shade radiates warmth and quiet luxury.

The SILKE way: colour services can leave hair vulnerable, so condition is non-negotiable. Wearing a SILKE Hair Wrap nightly distributes natural oils from scalp to ends, boosting hydration and shine. For those investing in this trend, protecting your colour between salon visits is essential - silk ensures that blonde hair stays glossy, frizz-free, and polished.

3. Sriracha Red

Copper dominated last year’s colour charts, but for A/W 2025 it gets an upgrade: Sriracha Red. Think copper with extra heat - richer, spicier, and perfect for the party season. Dua Lipa, Rico Nasty, and SZA have already embraced this fiery shade, proving its versatility across skin tones and textures.

The look: customisable intensity. From subtle reddish glints woven into brunette, to bold, all-over scarlet that pairs perfectly with velvet and sequins. This is colour that demands attention yet feels wearable.

The SILKE way: red pigments are notoriously prone to fading, so hydration and protection are crucial. Incorporating silk into your daily routine - using the SILKE Hair Wrap to prevent dulling frizz — ensures colour remains vibrant for longer. Paired with a nourishing hair mask, your Sriracha Red will look freshly salon-done well beyond the first few washes.

4. Indie Sleaze Pixie

If the early 2000s belonged to the supermodel crop, 2025 is set for its revival. The Indie Sleaze Pixie is androgynous, bleached, and unapologetically bold. Agyness Deyn first made it iconic; now Emma Chamberlain, Iris Law, and Tilda Swinton are rewriting the rulebook for a new generation.

The look: a short, sharp cut that plays with proportions. Whether ultra-close to the scalp or left slightly longer on top for styling flexibility, this trend is more about confidence than conformity.

The SILKE way: while pixies require less day-to-day styling, bleach makes strands more fragile. Even short hair benefits from protection - protect with your SILKE Hair Wrap, which prevents friction and keeps fragile bleached hair stronger for longer. A pixie cut should look edgy, not compromised.

5. 60s Retro Curls

Romantic, glossy, and unapologetically feminine, 60s Retro Curls bring a touch of Old Hollywood glamour to the modern day. Lana Del Rey has long been an advocate, and her latest tour cements this look as a key trend for the colder months.

The look: polished waves with bounce and gloss, worn with a middle or side parting depending on preference.

The SILKE way: skip hot tools with the SILKE Heatless Curler Kit. Simply wind slightly damp hair around the curler, secure with silk ties, and leave overnight for effortless, damage-free curls. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to style, then finish with hairspray. To maintain curls between washes, protect them with the SILKE Hair Wrap - silk locks in shape and shine, so your curls last longer.

How to Wear the Season’s Looks - the SILKE Way

This season proves one thing: hair trends may change, but healthy, glossy strands are always in style. From fiery reds to high-gloss blondes and retro curls, the most directional looks rely on condition as much as cut or colour.

At SILKE London, we believe in rituals, not regimes. Whether you’re experimenting with bold new shades or leaning into timeless classics, silk makes every look achievable without compromise. Our Hair Wraps, Heatless Curler Kit, and Hair Ties are designed to work in harmony with your hair, protecting its integrity while giving you the confidence to embrace each new trend.
