The cool-girl haircuts you need to try for autumn 2025: From the bedhead shag to the microbob

For Jason, the Autumn Breeze Bob is one of his favourite cuts for this season because it feels "effortlessly chic while still being low maintenance." He says: 'Cut just above the shoulders, it’s especially flattering on those with naturally wavy hair as it enhances the hair’s natural texture." When it comes to styling, he recommends adding gentle, undone waves with a large-barrel tong or simply scrunch-drying for a breezy, lived-in finish that feels youthful and modern. "For those who aren’t quite ready to commit to a bob, asking your stylist for long layers will still create that breezy, effortless movement, giving your hair natural body and flow," he recommends. 

The Bedhead Shag is all about embracing texture and personality. Jason explains: "Inspired by Miley Cyrus’s current rock ’n’ roll curls, this cut works brilliantly with naturally curly or wavy hair because it celebrates, rather than fights against, movement." The layers are designed to create shape and volume, so you can wear your hair slightly messy and it still looks intentional and stylish. He advises: "To get that undone, bedhead finish, I suggest using a sea-salt or texturising spray through the mid-lengths and ends, scrunching it in to enhance the hair’s natural pattern and give a cool, rock-chic edge.”

For those who prefer something sharper, the micro bob is a huge trend this autumn/winter. It’s all about precision and polish. "This is a chin-length cut that instantly makes a statement while still being surprisingly wearable," Jason explains. Whilst this style works brilliantly with straight hair, it can also be adapted with a bit of wave for a softer finish. He tells H! Fashion: "What I love most is that it gives an instant ‘fashion edge’ and pairs beautifully with high-neck knits and tailored coats, the perfect contrast for the colder months." Maintenance-wise, it’s simple - regular trims are essential to keep that clean line, and a shine spray or smoothing serum will enhance the cut’s sleekness.

"A French bob is a shorter style that is paired with a fringe, a blunt outline and has a more tousled finish. It’s low maintenance and embraces your natural texture, so it’s worn effortlessly and is the perfect style to air dry," Cos tells H! Fashion. When it comes to styling this cut, the expert says less is more. "Reach for the LABEL.M Anti-Frizz Smoothing Mist and LABEL.M Sea Salt Spray to encourage movement and texture," he adds.

Cos says: "The lob (which is a longer bob), usually sits below the shoulders and suits all hair types, especially thicker hair. But the cut can be tailored for finer or thicker hair types" He believe's it's the the perfect style for those who want to go shorter, but want to keep some length. The hairstylist explains: "If your hair is fine, I would recommend cutting it above the shoulder to increase strength and thickness, and for thicker hair, add softness with a fringe or curtain bangs, and remove some of the weight from the ends of the hair." 

A soft curtain fringe is such a versatile way to refresh your look for the new season without committing to a full chop. Jason notes: "It frames the face beautifully and works on almost every hair length, from bobs to long, layered cuts." The beauty of this fringe lies in it's adaptability. "You can style it parted in the middle for that relaxed, autumnal, French-girl vibe, or sweep it to the side for a softer, more blended finish. It’s also incredibly easy to maintain," he says. When it comes to styling, a quick blow-dry with a round brush or even a light flick with straighteners is all you need to create that soft, face-framing shape.

According to Cos, the hush cut is all about embracing layers and making them work for your face shape. "It’s a versatile hairstyle that celebrates movement and texture, making it great for any hair texture. It’s soft and low-maintenance, polished, but not overly styled," he explains.
