2022’s Hottest New Hair Trends
Jan 20, 2022
We're in the full swing of 2022! While we don’t necessarily believe in the whole “new year, new me” thing, we definitely think that with a new year comes the perfect time to try out brand new hairstyles, colours, and accessories!
Below we have compiled 8 new looks that will keep you looking flawless and fashion-forward this new year...
Sleek high ponytail
There is something playful yet put-together about the high ponytail!
While it is admittedly a relatively quick and easy style, with a perfectly smooth base, you can give the illusion that you put in the extra effort.
2021 saw ponytails and braids worn lower on the neck, but in 2022, we are literally levelling up these looks with our hair pulled up almost to the top of our heads.
With a touch of hairspray, you can easily turn those bad hair days into ‘ready for the runaway’ status.
Abundant accessories!
One hair trend that will rule them all... accessories! And, we are fully here for it!
We have seen headbands, clips, scarfs, bows... you name it, grace both NYC Fashion Week and the red carpet.
Accessories are the perfect way to make a statement. Even if you’re looking to add some subtle oomph to your look, accessories can do just that without making any dramatic changes at the salon.
Layers, please!
Regardless of hair texture or length, layers are going to be on everyone’s radar!
Think slightly out-grown curtain bangs mixed with shorter layering throughout... this style is so easy and low maintenance, giving you that effortless and “undone” type of feel.
The best part... this style actually encourages you to embrace your natural hair texture. So, ditch those hair tools and let your hair do its wonderful thang!
80’s curls
2022 is channelling some major 80’s energy!
And, with a throwback to the 80’s, the first word that is on everyone’s mind... VOLUME. These bouncy curls scream big, bold, and beautiful!
Try using a wider barrel hot tool and a touch of hairspray to create a more modern version of this look with looser and softer body curls.
Long length locks
Here’s a look we are ESPECIALLY excited about! Long, sleek, and straight hair is going to be big in 2022! Say HELLO to hair extensions (around 17-21 inches)!
If you’ve been looking to try out a dramatic straight style that hits somewhere between your chest and waist, this is the year to do it.
And, look no further because, at Philocaly Hair, we are here to help you achieve that stunning length!
One-dimensional colours
Balayage has been dethroned, and who’s replaced this queen... one-dimensional colours (like soft black, chocolate brown, and warm ginger).
With this trend, we can thank 2021’s push for embracing the oh’ natural-ness of our hair colours and textures.
In 2022, we predict that all the rage will be subtle but statement-making colours that don’t demand constant upkeep!
Side-swept bangs
Ahhh the side bangs... this trend is giving us major Lindsay Lohan and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen early 2000’s vibes.
With the resurgence of everything Y2K, it was only a matter of time until this look saw its comeback.
If you didn’t quite perfect the side bang sweep twenty-ish years ago... 2022 is your year to get it right!
Big statement braids
We eased into this trend with 2021’s baby braids... but in 2022, we are marking it as a BIG braid year.
This style is great for a low-effort but elevated and flawless everyday look.
Braids can also be easily dressed up for a night out, perfect for highlighting a seamless makeup look and glamorous accessories!
