Autumn Hair Trends 2025
Tracey Ann Smith, Creative Director outlines three key autumn colour trends, with tips on how to keep each looking its best using targeted care routines.
“Colour isn’t just about the shade, it’s about how hair looks and feels afterwards. Using the correct products and the right care routine enhances shine, maintains depth, and protects against seasonal stresses,” – Tracey.
1. Rich Coppers – Warm and Vibrant
Best for: Medium to dark hair with copper or auburn tones.
Focus: Colour longevity, shine, and softness.
Coppers and darker shades demand products that lock in pigment and prevent fading. The MOOD Colour Protect Shampoo, enriched with pomegranate extract, gently cleanses while preserving vibrancy. Follow with MOOD Colour Protect Conditioner, which nourishes, detangles, and maintains colour depth, leaving hair soft, elastic, and glossy.
Top Tip: Copper shades tend to fade faster than other colours. Using antioxidant-rich care at every wash helps maintain the tone and keeps hair feeling healthy.
2. Blonde and Bleached – Multi-Dimensional and Bright
Best for: Light blondes and bleached hair.
Focus: Repair, nourishment, and shine.
Bleached and chemically treated hair benefits from the MOOD Ultra Care range, formulated with Avocomplex and avocado oil. Begin with the MOOD Ultra Care Shampoo for gentle cleansing and regeneration, then apply the MOOD Ultra Care Mask to leave hair shiny, manageable, and nourished. For an extra boost, use the MOOD Ultra Care Mousse as a leave-in treatment to enhance elasticity and provide added hydration before styling.
Top Tip: Lightened hair can be fragile, so layering products that both repair and protect is essential. This routine ensures blondes remain soft, strong, and brilliantly luminous.
3. Silver and Grey – Cool and Neutralised
Best for: Grey, silver, or platinum hair.
Focus: Anti-yellow, tone maintenance, and softness.
To keep blonde, grey, or white hair cool and avoid brassiness, the MOOD Silver Specific range provides targeted care. Start with the MOOD Silver Specific Shampoo or the Silver Specific Pro Shampoo for intense neutralisation. Follow with the MOOD Silver Specific Conditioner, which smooths and hydrates while enhancing violet pigments for a balanced, cool tone. Blueberry extracts provide antioxidant benefits to maintain hair integrity over time.
Top Tip: Cool tones need products that actively neutralise yellowing. Our Silver Specific range allows stylists to preserve the icy shade while keeping hair soft and manageable.
“This season, the key to great colour isn’t just application, it’s also about care. Healthy hair means vibrant hair, and that’s what clients will notice every time they leave the salon.”
By linking style to a tailored care routine, stylists can help clients maintain vibrant, healthy hair across every colour spectrum. Whether enhancing warmth in coppers, maintaining brightness in blondes, or neutralising brassiness in silver tones, the right products make all the difference.
