Top 5 Hairstyles and Trends of 2022

It’s true what they say – history has a habit of repeating itself, so for 2021 into 2022, we’re embracing the old with a twist. The upcoming year is a year of time-traveling to the good ol’ days of Farrah Fawcett feathered tresses, 90s chunky highlights, and low-maintenance locks that celebrate natural hair texture. 

Let’s take a look at some 2022 inspiration to keep your hair contemporary but timeless: 

Textured Shag

The choppy shag cut made a complete comeback in 2021, and we’re not seeing its spotlight dim anytime soon in the upcoming year. The modern version of this cut is timeless and works great for either short or long styles. 

Blunt Bob or Lob

The blunt bob has reigned as a hugely popular cut for a reason. This French-inspired style is easy to maintain and looks good on anyone. And if you’re not into chopping your hair super short, opt for a lob instead and bring it down to your collarbones. You won’t be any less chic!

70s Inspired

The power of social media has brought back the 70s with a vengeance. Fluffy, feathered manes with layers are sweeping grids and for-you-pages all over the internet, and we/re not complaining. This look is perfect for long and short hair alike, making it a fashionable statement for any season. 

Curtain Bangs

Long wispy curtain bangs give you a stylish, retro look and are much more low-maintenance than your typical blunt bangs. Perfect for straight and curly hair alike, this lightweight fringe softens your hair and gives it plenty of movement.

Natural Curls

If there is anything ladies and lads with curly tresses know, it is the pressure to have perfect looking perfect hair, but 2022 is all about avoiding damaging heat-styling and rocking your natural, wild mane without a care in the world. 

Chunky Highlights

These might not be the chunky highlights you remember getting in the early aughts. These boast a modern edge, more comparable to a face-framing balayage; this hair coloring technique will leave you looking fresh out of the salon for longer than your typical highlights. 

Long Layers

Staying on the theme of low-maintenance hair trends, long layers are a timeless style that can add flair to your long hair. If you’ve invested a lot of time in growing out your hair, chopping it off may be out of the question. But long layers help give your shape without compromising length.
