Hair color trends for fall/winter 2025/2026

Fashion is moving toward quiet luxury — understated elegance with a focus on quality and authenticity. Hair color follows this direction: soft transitions, natural depth, and radiant shine. Think of milky browns, clay beige, dusty coral, plum, and blush gold.

Colors are balanced and multi-dimensional, resulting in salon-worthy shades that look effortless yet sophisticated.

Why these colors work in 2025
  • Brown is the new black: rich chocolate and copper tones define the season.

  • Runway influences like lace, faux fur, and tailored details are reflected in hair through soft lines and refined nuances.

What are the hair color trends for winter 2025?1) Golden Honey Glow – Luxurious warmth

A sophisticated, caramel-infused blonde that radiates warmth and shine. Golden Honey Glow gives your hair depth and a natural, sunlit finish. Perfectly in tune with the quiet luxury trend.

Who is it for?

  • Ideal for natural blondes or dark blondes who want more dimension and a warm undertone.

  • Anyone who loves a soft halo of light around the face and in the lengths, without harsh contrasts.

A rich crimson-red shade with mirror-like shine: modern, chic, and eye-catching. Choose a subtle touch or go all-in with a full-color look.

Who is it for?

  • Brunettes or redheads who want more intensity without losing sophistication.

  • Perfect for cool to neutral undertones when balanced with depth and reflective shine.

Which hair color suits my skin tone?

Not sure whether a warm (honey, caramel) or cool (cherry red, plum) tone fits you best? Start by determining your skin’s undertone to discover which hair color fits best.

  • Warm: golden or yellow hue - warm blonde, caramel, honey shades.

  • Cool: pink or bluish hue - cool reds, deep cherry, plum.

  • Neutral: you can wear both, choose based on your eye color and the intensity you prefer.

How to maintain your hair color in winterUse the right hair careGive your hair extra moisture

Dry air and temperature changes can dehydrate your hair. Treat it weekly with a nourishing mask.

Add extra after-care
  • Revive Balm (between color appointments): restores shine and softness.

  • Bond Fusion Phase 3 (once a week): strengthens internal hair structure for longer-lasting color brilliance.

Protect against heat

Heat styling can fade color faster. Always use a heat protectant spray before blow-drying, curling, or straightening your hair.

Plan regular touch-ups

Schedule a touch-up every 6–8 weeks to maintain shine, depth, and a freshly colored look.
