Autumn & Winter 2025 Hair Trends
Autumn/Winter 2025 is shaping up to be a season defined by elevated texture, richer tones, and polished, luxurious finishes. As always, the change in weather influences not only the colours clients gravitate towards but also the styling needs they bring into the salon. Many will be looking for ways to refresh their look for the colder months while maintaining hair health and that’s where thoughtful application of quality extensions from Remi Cachet, becomes invaluable.
In this article, we break down the biggest AW25 hairstyle and colour trends, how they’ll influence client expectations, and the techniques and extension choices that can help you deliver them flawlessly.
What’s Defining The Season’s Hairstyles
This season’s looks reflect a natural progression from warmth and softness in early autumn to structure and refinement as winter sets in. Your clients will notice these shifts through social media, celebrity transformations, and the directional looks emerging from fashion weeks and they’ll come to you wanting wearable interpretations that suit their lifestyle.
Autumn looks revolve around warmth, gentle layering, and natural movement. As temperatures drop further, clients typically shift toward sleeker, more controlled finishes that withstand humidity, wind, and friction from scarves and coats. Across both seasons, hair health is front of mind. Clients are more aware than ever of the drying effects of cold weather, heat tools, and daily styling, especially when wearing extensions.
Autumn Hairstyles To Try In 2025
Copper And Rust Tones
Clients will still be asking for copper in this season in 2025, but not the bright, fiery versions seen during the seasons in 2024. Instead, autumn’s palette leans toward muted, smoked coppers and deeper rust tones that offer warmth without overpowering their features. These shades sit beautifully over blended extensions and create a seamless transition from summer brightness to autumn depth.
Professionally, this means more requests for multi-dimensional toning, subtle lowlights, and natural warmth, perfectly complemented by extensions that support colour diffusion and fullness.

Long, Textured Layers
Clients want movement without losing thickness, making long, soft layering one of the standout requests for AW25. These layers are designed to sit comfortably under autumn clothing without tangling, while giving the illusion of natural body and dimension.
Extensions play a major role here. Many clients will want them to build out the density that keeps these layers looking full and flowing. Blending becomes essential, especially around the front and Remi Cachet’s range of application methods offers flexibility depending on the desired level of layering and movement. Expect clients to ask for loose waves, undone texture, and layered blowouts that pair beautifully with added length or volume.

Lived-In Brunettes Making A Comeback
Brunettes are making a strong comeback for AW25, with clients increasingly requesting rich espresso, mocha, and caramel blends that feel dimensional rather than flat. These deeper shades create a naturally glossy, expensive-looking finish, ideal for clients wanting a low-maintenance yet elevated colour through the colder months. Extensions can enhance this trend beautifully by adding depth, subtle tonal variation, and shine without overprocessing the natural hair, helping clients achieve that polished, multi-layered brunette look with ease.

Trending Winter Hairstyles
Winter styling becomes more structured and intentional. Clients often want hair that stays polished despite harsher weather, making sleek, protective, and high-shine looks particularly popular this season.
Glass-Like, Glossy Finishes
The glass hair trend continues, and clients will come in looking for ultra-smooth, reflective finishes, especially for events, nights out, or as part of their winter routine. Extensions help create this look thanks to their natural weight and smoothness, making the hair appear sleeker and more controlled.
To maintain shine throughout winter, clients may benefit from a finishing spray such as Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray, which reduces dullness caused by indoor heating and cold weather exposure.
Luxe Ponytails And Wrapped Styles
Clients will increasingly request high-shine ponytails, sleek wrapped styles, and polished braids as part of their winter styling. These looks aren’t just fashionable—they’re practical. Protective styling reduces static, minimises friction from coats and scarves, and keeps extensions in better condition during the coldest months.
A piece like the Human Hair Ponytail offers clients a quick, luxe upgrade while maintaining hair health and reducing daily heat use. Compared with autumn’s softer, more textured approaches, winter’s vibe is distinctly refined and sculpted.

Cold-Weather Hair Care Tips
As the season shifts and temperatures drop, clients often notice their hair becoming drier, more fragile, and more prone to static. Moving between cold, damp weather outdoors and warm central heating indoors creates rapid temperature changes that can contribute to breakage especially for those wearing extensions. Encouraging clients to give their hair some extra attention during the autumn and winter months will make all the difference in maintaining softness, shine, and long-lasting extension health.
Hydration becomes essential at this time of year. Regular deep-conditioning treatments applied to the lengths and ends help replenish moisture lost through cold weather and indoor heating. A high-quality formula, such as the Remi Cachet Hair Extension Conditioner is ideal to highlight during appointments. Use this opportunity to talk through this product and ensure it is clearly featured within your retail space for clients to add it to their home-care routine.
Clients will also benefit from using a small amount of lightweight hair oil daily, focusing on the ends to maintain softness and combat the increased frizz and static that come with fluctuating humidity. Talk to clients about the Remi Cachet Hair Oil and ensure this is also easily accessible within the retail area to support ongoing hair health.
It’s also important to remind clients never to head out with damp hair. Ensuring the hair is thoroughly dried before stepping outside helps prevent cold-induced brittleness, split ends, and unnecessary damage to extension bonds or rings. Completely drying the hair has the added benefit of helping colour stay vibrant for longer. Suggesting clients lower the temperature of their heated tools whilst wearing heat defence or even take the occasional break from straighteners and curlers can further reduce seasonal stress on the hair.
When clients are out and about, protective styling plays a crucial role. Tying long tresses into low ponytails, braids, or wrapped styles keeps the hair sheltered from the elements and reduces tangling caused by scarves and collars. Hats can also offer practical protection, keeping hair contained while minimising friction. For moments when knots do occur, using the correct brush is key; including travel-sized brushes which are ideal for on-the-go extension upkeep.
Above all, maintaining consistent aftercare ensures the longevity and health of both natural hair and extensions. With the right winter routine, clients can enjoy beautiful, glossy hair throughout the colder months while fully embracing the season’s AW25 trends.
