With the world around us enjoying its own transformation at this time of year, it’s only fair that our look gets the same treatment! As the season of change, autumn has a habit of making us want to chop and change our hair, whether that’s a new cut, colour or style overhaul. Thankfully, with human hair and synthetic wigs more versatile than ever, there’s no need to sit this one out as a wig wearer!
A great wig in fact gives you even more scope to experiment with your style, with many wig types able to be cut, coloured and restyled just like natural hair. So, which autumn hair trends should influence your new look? Read on to discover the top wig colours and styles to try right about now…
It’ll be brunettes, not blondes, that have more fun during the cooler months, with rich brunette shades everywhere during autumn 2026. When it comes to the brunette shades that are so-this-season, the glossier, the better, as Lemon Styles explains:
“Every once in a while, simplicity becomes the biggest luxury. This glossy brunette relies less on obvious color placement and more on healthy shine, flowing texture, and rich depth. The soft cascading waves give the hair movement while maintaining a sophisticated silhouette, making it one of the most timeless fall brunette hairstyles for long hair lovers… Healthy brunette hair reflects light naturally, and sometimes that’s more impactful than adding extra color.”
With ‘healthy’ the buzzword here, rich brunette is a headline trend for autumn, with deep, glossy tones like chocolate, espresso, chestnut and caramel brown looking great at this time of year.
Red wig shades are all the rage during autumn, but instead of going fiery, opt for a softer, more sophisticated toasted copper tone. This muted red brown colour looks incredible with soft waves, long layers or in a cute little bob. Just choose a copper colour with brown undertones rather than bright orange to enjoy one of the hottest wig colours of the season.
What do you get when you combine honey, caramel, golden blonde and a hint of warmth? Amber veiled blonde of course!
This gorgeous hue is being favoured by a legion of celebs at the moment, and is a rich golden shade that’s perfectly in tune with the season. It’s also a natural step into autumn for those rocking brighter blonde wigs for summer.
The bixie – a mix between a bob and a pixie – is always a favourite of ours and our customers, with this low maintenance style a winner all year round, not just during autumn. Wear your bixie wig with pride either perfectly styled or slightly undone.
If the bixie isn’t for you, there are tons of on-trend bob wig styles that will still look and feel fabulous. Try the curved bob for a rounded and more polished finish, or a kicked-out bob for length and face framing flicks. The butterfly bob uses layering to its advantage to provide lots of free and easy movement for the ultimate natural look.
The fringe is always a big deal, and for autumn, it’s more on trend than ever. Whether opting for soft curtains, a side swept style, a Birkin inspired fringe or a much shorter statement, wigs with fringes give you the look without the commitment.
