Whether wanting to color your tresses, place hair in a protective style, or simply going for the silk press, always remember protection is key. Have fun with varying styles but make sure caring for your hair is top priority.
Protective Styles That Dominate Fall 2025 Natural Hair Trends
Protective styles are timeless, but this year it’s all about going bold. Think chunky twists, knotless braids, and rope braids that give your hair a break while making a statement. These looks are low-maintenance and perfect for transitioning into colder and drier months.
Always remember to care for your hair even when in a protective style. That means washing regularly, tending to your scalp and protecting your hair with satin or silk while sleeping and with the clothes you are wearing. Never neglect your hair no matter what styles your are wearing.
Natural Hair Color Trends for Autumn
Fall is the season for rich, warm tones. Honey blondes, chestnut browns, deep auburns, and copper highlights are topping the list of fall 2025 natural hair color trends. These shades not only protect your hair’s integrity when done right, but also bring out the warmth in your complexion.
@khadajeee I’ve always been a fan of temporary color wax and today I decided to try the Copper color from @As I Am This is not an Ad so when I tell you this is the best temporary color wax I have used, best believe that! It even smelt so nice! I was pleasantly surprised! My frizzy looking twists at this point is at the 4 week mark but the color wax even gave my twists definition! The curls were popping! – I sprayed water on my twists to make then damp – Then applied the As I Am Color Wax to my twists while making sure that every twist was covered – I used a damp paper towel to clean anywhere on my skin that had the color – I let it air dry and that’s it! I bought the color from @target and I have linked it to my LTK store. Check the link in my bio to buy yours! 🧡🤎🖤 I love this color soooooo much and once it was dry, it didn’t transfer or stain #blackgirltiktok #khadajeeee #naturalhair #4chair #twostrandtwists #twists #skin #blackcreators #temporarycolorhair #grwm #browntwists ♬ Another Level – Oh The Larceny
Opt for going to a professional for hair color that is permanent to ensure you get the color you desire and to protect your hair as much as possible. If using temporary color, try color conditioners, or try As I Am Curl Color™ Temporary Color Gels which work well with our hair.
Volume, Volume, Volume
This season, curls are taking up space. Big, bouncy, cloud-like hair is in. Lightweight mousses and curl creams give definition without crunch, letting your natural texture shine. Fluffy twist-outs and voluminous wash-and-gos are perfect for the natural hair fall 2025 vibe.
This is not the time to worry about frizz. Frizz is your friend for fall 2025 as volume is queen and defined curls are not necessary. Wear a voluminous wig if you want as well. Wigs are amazing options for fall since many can be hot and perfect for those cooler temps. Have fun and know that the higher the hair, the closer to the sun you are!
Silk Press Season
With less humidity in the air, fall is the perfect time to enjoy a sleek silk press. A good heat protectant and deep conditioning treatment will keep your strands smooth, shiny, and healthy. A silk press is a classic way to switch it up while staying on trend.
Now, don’t be fooled. A lot of these stunning silk presses are wigs! That’s right wigs, so don’t feel pressured to PRESS your hair. Keep your coils and rock a silk press wig to change up your fall look.
Statement Accessories
Scarves, oversized scrunchies, jeweled pins, and chic headbands are finishing touches you’ll see everywhere this season. Adding accessories is one of the easiest ways to personalize your look and elevate your fall 2025 natural hair trends. Don’t sleep on searching for Black owned hair accessories as culture always adds flair and style. Try Etsy for unique looks and pieces.
Scalp & Moisture Care
Cooler weather often means drier air. A healthy scalp routine—using nourishing oils, hydrating masks, and gentle exfoliation—is key to preventing dryness and flaking. Remember: the foundation of every style is a healthy scalp.
