As fashion week approaches, the energy in the air is undeniable — runways will be full of statement silhouettes, bold textures, and new hair trends to match. And this fall’s cuts will encompass shape, movement, and most of all, versatility. Whether you’re craving a sharp, transformative chop or a subtle seasonal refresh, there’s a cut that fits your style goals (and your wardrobe).
From polished bobs to effortless long layers, here’s the fall haircut forecast you’ll want to share with your stylist before the leaves start to turn.
Fall 2025 Top Haircut Trends
1. The Bob — Still the Reigning Queen
Some trends come and go, but the bob continues to own every season — and this fall, it’s more versatile than ever. Blunt, boxy, layered, or asymmetrical, the bob adapts to every face shape, texture, and overall vibe. Paired with a high-shine finish, it reads instantly polished and ready for a brand new season.
Styling Tip: A bob shines with sleekness and reflective shine. Use Redken Naked Gloss Lightweight Shine Oil to smooth, hydrate, and protect without weighing hair down. With up to 130% more shine* and heat protection up to 450°F, it keeps your bob glossy whether you’re flat-ironing for precision or blow-drying for soft movement. *vs. unwashed hair

2. The Midi — For the Commitment-Phobe
Not ready to go short but craving change? The midi — a cut that grazes just above or below the shoulders — is your perfect in-between. It’s long enough to pull into a ponytail but short enough to make a statement and have plenty of flirty face-framing layers to have fun with.
Styling Tip: Midis look their best with volume and bounce. Mist Redken Volume Maximizer from roots to ends before styling for weightless lift and body. This volumizing spray instantly creates thicker-looking hair, making the midi’s shape feel full and fresh from every angle with a subtle 90s blowout finish.

3. Long Layers — Movement Without Harsh Lines
For those looking to keep their length, long layers are the go-to for adding movement without sacrificing fullness. The secret lies in texturization: cutting into the hair in a way that removes weight where needed while keeping the perimeter full. The result? Layers that look effortless but not choppy.
The technique varies by hair type:
- Fine hair: Keep layers minimal and focused around the face to avoid thinning the overall silhouette.
- Thick hair: Use deep, internal layering to lighten bulky areas without losing length.
- Curly hair: Layer on dry hair to see exactly how curls will settle.
Styling Tip: To keep your layers long you’ve got to keep them protected from damage. Use Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment regularly to strengthen, smooth, and shield from heat up to 450°F. This leave-in repairs one year of visible damage in just one use* and keeps split ends at bay, so your layers look freshly cut for weeks. *System of Acidic Bonding Concentrate Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment.
