Hurrah we can’t say we’re not pleased to see the back of 2021! We had our ups and downs and it was certainly challenging! But without our amazing clients we wouldn’t have hung in there.
With the beginning of the New Year brings a fresh start, and what better way to kick off the new year than trying a new hairstyle?
As we’ve seen throughout time, hairstyles have undoubtedly inspired cultural movements, influenced identity expression, and defined decades.
Just take Cindy Crawford’s classic blow out look from the 90’s for example, or an even more vintage look like the beehive up do’s of the 60’s, which evoke memories of Diana Ross and the Supremes swaying across stage in their glamorous ensembles.
So the question remains, what hairstyles will we be seeing in trend for 2022?
- Experts are saying The shag— or super layered hair cut— is still very much the trend, It works on almost every hair texture and length. It gives off a cool, low maintenance vibe, and truly brings out the best of natural hair texture, as the layered cut gives the hair movement.
- The Natural look – More and more people are finding the courage to explore their grey hair which is fab! One celebrity who is fiercely rocking her grey roots is Gwyneth Paltrow, pictured here in her natural element. We agree that the notion of living one’s natural texture— whether kinky, curly, wavy, or straight— will continue for many this year. If you’re on the journey of embracing your grey hairs and natural textures speak to us about treatments to keep it at its natural finest.
- Rich Browns – Hues of brown have been taking over lately,. Stars such as Kelly Rowland have been showing off a blend of soft brown and gold. We’re sure that this color combination will be floating around all year!
- The Fringe – Fringes are still on the rise, not that they were out to begin with, but people are re-introducing them and wearing them in different ways. So trendy and in so many different ways, soft, textured, blunt or side-swept, and they’re a great way to update your look while still keeping the length. If you have textured hair, be sure to use a styling cream or spray, and gently wrap each group of hair strands around your finger to hold the shape in place . And if you have wavy or straight hair, you can use hair spray after blow drying for a light hold.
- The Blowout – Big and beautiful! If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok the chances are that you may have come across a blowout hair tutorial, usually featuring the famed Dyson Air Wrap. One thing to pay attention to is a using heat protect product before you blow dry your hair. Protect your hair first with a product like Redken’s One United, which is a multi-benefit leave-in hair treatment
- Short – People are cutting their hair shorter than ever before, which can feel liberating and can even add a boost of confidence. A dramatic new crop can mark a fresh start as well as being a clean slate for hair-health. We could be getting asked for more pixie haircuts by summer!
- Soft Beach Waves – Even the name of this look makes us want to fast forward into summer! Although we’re not quite there yet, we do have something to look forward to, and that is experimenting with making waves. In order to create this classic style, you’ll want a hair wand that creates long lasting waves for days.
