Haircuts and Hairstyle Trends to Try in 2022

Gather round folks, let’s talk about that undeniable temptation new year brings to switch up your hairstyle. Some of us want to hit the reset button, just chop it all off! While others are tired of the maintenance and want to grow it all out. Natural texture will be the focus of 2022 we reckon. More people are embracing their natural texture and avoiding the high maintenance looks we’ve opted for previously. We’re putting down the styling tools and concentrating on curl defining serums, welcoming wavy, fluffy textures.

Not sure what style to go for next? Check out the Hair Trends for 2022 below.

Subtle Changes

SUBTLE HAIRSTYLE #1: LONG LAYERS

If you aren’t known for being a risk-taker, a subtler option may be more desirable for you. Adding in long layers to weighted hair gives it direction and movement when styling. Frame your face and flaunt your full-looking hair.

SUBLTLE HAIRSTYLE #2: FRINGE OR GROWN-OUT BANGS

Grown out bangs will be a really popular hair trend in 2022. The natural, effortless look is more appealing as it gives volume to the font without looking like it will matter if the wind hits you in the face, hello January. Go for somewhere between a fringe and front layers.

SUBTLE HAIRSTYLE #3: BALAYAGE OR HIGHLIGHTS

Maybe a new cut isn’t getting you excited. A subtle colour change could be exactly what you’re looking for! Try balayage for a low maintenance, sun-kissed look to highlight your hair & add depth, great if you have fine or thin hair.

For the Brave & Bold

BRAVE & BOLD HAIRSTYLE #1: CHOPPY BOB

If you’re entering 2022 with the plan to drastically change yourself, then a choppy bob could be right up your street. Add texture & embrace the ‘un-done’ look as a choppy bob allows the natural texture of your hair to roam free with shorter layers & flicky fringes.

BRAVE & BOLD HAIRSTYLE #2: COLOURFUL HAIR

If natural-looking highlights isn’t a big enough change for you, why not broaden your colour palette. Be careful to not clash with your skin tone, we always suggest chatting with your stylist when reaching for the rainbow. Warmer, orange tones with blonde highlights at the very front is already a major trend, don’t limit yourself!

BRAVE & BOLD HAIRSTYLE #3: MULLET

Probably a personal favourite, the mullet/70’s shag has been circling since 2019, gaining traction in 2021 and we expect to see it in 2022 since they are now more accessible. The beauty in this style is the growth. As your hair grows, the style evolves and is easily styled as it works with your hairs natural texture.
