6 Short Hair Trends for Autumn 2025

1. Asymmetrical Bob

First up, the asymmetrical bob is making a comeback. "Asymmetry is something that's gaining traction, and I feel we will see it more this autumn, especially around fashion week," says Seeley. "I love asymmetry in a bob style, leaving one side longer edgier feel to it and can be worn in so many textures."

In terms of styling, Seeley recommends getting your hands on a good shine spray to smooth any flyaways and add salon-worthy gloss to your ends.

Chronos Hair Straightener

I personally think an asymmetrical bob looks so chic when the ends of the hair are curled inwards, and this GHD hair straightener is my go-to tool for this kind of style.

2. Classic Pixie

Next up is the classic pixie cut. "The pixie is making a revival," Seeley tells me. "We have seen so many variations the last few years, but a classic short crop is really picking up. It’s cool, effortless and chic and can be worn sleek and smooth or roughed up with texture."

"If you’re a dab hand with your styling skills, a pixie haircut can look incredible with finger waves, deep set partings or even some interest added on the edges or baby hairs to give a more feminine feel," says Seeley.
