As the air cools and the pumpkin spice flows, your hair’s moisture supply quietly takes a hit. Dryness, frizz, and dullness sneak in faster than you can say "sweater weather."

But not this year. This fall, we’re embracing deep hydration rituals, rich shine, and the runway-inspired trends Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Vanity Fair can’t stop talking about.

✨ Why Fall Wreaks Havoc on Your Hair

Cooler air, indoor heating, and low humidity suck moisture from every strand. Add in friction from scarves and sweaters, and you’ve got breakage waiting to happen.

If your hair feels drier, duller, or harder to style this time of year — that’s your cue to switch your haircare to hydration mode.

Taming Those Tresses

A Brazilian blowout is the ideal solution for taming frizz and managing unruly textures and dryness during this transitional period. This revolutionary treatment smooths the hair cuticle, creating a protective layer that fights against moisture and keeps your locks looking sleek and polished. With the added benefit of reducing styling time, a Brazilian blowout allows you to embrace the season's cozy vibes without the hassle of constant touch-ups allowing you to slay in the battle against frizz and hello to effortlessly chic hair that shines as brightly as the autumn foliage!

The Fall Hydration Ritual

Treat your haircare regimen like your skincare regimen— layers, protection, and nourishment that keep everything supple and glowing.


Step 1: Pre-Shampoo Protection

Mist or oil your hair before cleansing to keep natural oils intact.

→ *Try: Davines Oi Oil — weightless, nutrient-rich, and perfect before or after your wash or whenever your hair needs a taming moisture boost.


Step 2: Hydrating Cleanse

Use a sulfate-free, gentle shampoo that hydrates without stripping.

→ We love: Davines Momo Shampoo — infused with yellow melon extract to deliver deep moisture and soft, luminous shine.


Step 3: Deep Conditioning

Weekly or biweekly, give your hair a full moisture reset.

→ Try Davines Oi Hair Butter— rich with roucou oil for softness, elasticity, and long-lasting hydration.


Step 4: Leave-In Love

After towel-drying, use a lightweight multitasker for softness and detangling.

→ Try: Davines Oi All In One Milk — the holy grail of silky, frizz-free shine.


Step 5: Weather Shield

Humidity swings can wreck a good blowout.

→ Cult favorite: ColorWOW Dream Coat— creates a glass-like finish that lasts up to three shampoos.


Step 6: Night Ritual

Sleep on a silk pillowcase, braid loosely, and use a small amount of OI Hair Oil at your ends for overnight repair.

🔥 Fall 2025 Hair Trends You’ll Be Seeing *Everywhere*

Straight from the style bibles — here’s what’s ruling this season’s moodboard:


1. The Bob Dynasty

According to Vogue Magazine, bobs and micro-bobs aren’t going anywhere. Think sharp, confident, and effortlessly polished.


2. Face-Framing Layers & ’90s Revival

Soft, shaggy layers and wispy fringe bring dimension and movement. Vogue also spotlights the “Winona” cut — the bixie (bob + pixie) making major waves.


3. Textured Bobs & Cozy Accessories

Cosmo calls for textured bobs and fall-ready accessories — tortoise clips, crochet caps, and messy French-girl waves.


4. Cashmere Blondes & Lacquered Brunettes

As seen in Vogue Scandinavia, warm, creamy tones dominate: cashmere blonde, espresso brunette, and soft honey dimension.


5. The ’90s Blowout Revival

Big, bouncy, and unapologetically glam — glossy layers and voluminous blowouts are back. Grab some ColorWOW Xtra Large Volume Mousse for that over-the-top bounce and fullness. 

🧩 Trend Tips by Generation

While these tips can appply to anyone, but certain trends are more popular among the following demos:


  • Gen Z: Play with texture and micro-lengths. Think bold cuts, high shine, and statement fringe.
  • Millennials: Go for effortless polish — cashmere tones, lived-in gloss, and healthy, hydrated shine.
  • Gen X: Soft structure and luxury simplicity. A sleek bob or subtle balayage paired with rich moisture care always wins.

🌙 Fall Hair Commandments

  1. Hydrate before you style.
  2. Protect against heat, UV, and friction.
  3. Dust off split ends every 8–10 weeks.
  4. Switch to color-safe, moisture-rich formulas.
  5. Play with cozy fall accessories — no damage, just drama.
