If one thing is clear about the biggest hair trends of 2025, it’s that hair health is taking centre stage. This year, it’s all about achieving that coveted, ultra-glossy finish. So, what does that mean for autumn hair colour trends? Well, it comes as no surprise that the 2025 hair colours experts predict are going to take off this season reflect our obsession with healthy, radiant strands.

Spanning a spectrum of warm, rich hues—from golden blondes to decadent chocolates—whatever colour you opt for, the finish will be fresh, glossy, and multi-dimensional. Rather than one flat, “dated” hair colour, this autumn we’ll see colouring techniques like balayage and root smudging take centre stage for a finish that looks polished yet effortlessly lived-in.

So, if you also have autumn hair transformations in your sights, then read on to discover the five hair colours we believe will be dominating salon chairs in the coming months, and save these looks for your next appointment with Oscar Oscar Salons.

1. Liquid Brunette:

While low maintenance is a key trend for 2025, there’s always one incredibly expensive-looking hair colour that dominates a season, and this autumn, it’s liquid brunette.

Not only does it nod to Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, but it harks back to the ‘90s supermodel era too. Chris from Carindale shares what’s essential for achieving the perfect liquid brunette: Hydration is key. We focus on treatments that enhance shine and ensure the colour looks rich and reflective. Think gloss treatments and using sulphate free shampoo at home. It’s really polished and elegant, yet modern and cool with a natural feel to it. Think Angelina Jolie and Mila Kunis as your inspirations for this luxurious, deep brunette.
