Trendy Bob

You can’t go wrong with a classic bob look. These haircuts are making their way into the next year. If you’re trying to achieve this hairstyle for the new year, make sure to ask your hairstylist for a classic bob. And - don’t forget to mention how long or short you want your bob to be. For a more choppy look, ask your stylist to layer your hair or use sheering scissors. 

Bombshell Red

If you’re looking to make a major change to your hair, red may just be the thing you’re looking for. Give your hair a fiery, fierce look this New Year, and turn heads wherever you go. Reference photos will be your best friend when you go to your stylist - be sure to let them know exactly which shade of red you are looking to achieve. 

Straight Y2k Hair

Wanna look like you just walked right out of the early 00s? Who doesn’t?! To achieve the ultimate Y2k hairstyle, all you have to do is straighten your hair. Yep, that’s it. Straightened hair was a big thing in the early 00s, and it happens to probably be one of the easiest hairstyles to have. Our Megastar Straighter is the perfect flat iron to help you achieve that sleek, straight look you're going for.

Natural Curls

If you’re someone that has naturally curly hair, it’s time to embrace it this coming year. Naturally curly hair is officially here to stay. In order to achieve bouncy, soft, shiny, and frizz-free curls, you'll need to make sure your hair is nice and moisturized. We recommend on Tourmaline Hair Care Set, complete with our tourmaline-infused shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask. The unique formulas are packed with tourmaline powder, vitamins, amino acids, proteins, and nourishing oils to help restore hair’s natural moisture, repair damage, strengthen, and add shine.

While this look isn’t exactly obtainable for people with straight or wavy hair, you can hop on this trend by simply curling your hair with a slim-barreled curling iron. We recommend using the 13mm barrel in our Octowand 8-in-1 Curling Wand.

Vivid Colors

For bold hair, adding a splash of color is the way to go. And - achieving this kind of look is easy, and you don’t even need to have blonde hair to do it. To give that vivid pop of color to your hair, make sure to ask your hairstylist to color the ends of your hair the color of your choosing. We recommend colors like pink, purple, or red. If you want to try out this look, but aren't willing to commit to something permanent, give some temporary hair chalk a try! 

Blonde Balayage

For something a bit more subtle, blonde balayage is a great choice. Give your hair that extra light, without the look of chunky-looking highlights. Balayage is much more natural than traditional highlights, and the blended look means you can go longer in between appointments, making keeping up with it hassle-free.

Heavy Layers/ Shaggy Haircuts

Layers have always been a common hairstyle, but we’re seeing them more and more. Layers are a great way to add body and movement to your hair. If you have curly hair, layers will help remove some of the weight, allowing you to emphasize your curls!

Curlights

So, we’ve already mentioned how this is the year for natural curls to thrive, but what about if your curls had highlights? We know, amazing, right? This beautiful look is so easy to obtain, no matter what your hair color is. Keep them natural by only going a few shades lighter than your natural hair color, or go bold and pick a high-contrasting color for added drama! Add shine and definition to your curls with Hottie Alert Shine Spray - formulated with algae extract, sunflower seed oil, and argan oil, this light hold hairspray softens, repairs, and nourishes the hair with every use. 

Sleek Midnight Brown

Looking for more of a natural, sleek look? Well, we’ve got you covered. This midnight brown color is both beautiful and subtle. It’s also easy to obtain. If you’re a natural brunette, embrace it! You can add dimension to your look by going darker or even getting some lowlights. If you have light eyes, this sultry brown hair will really make them pop! Keep your hair looking extra sleek with our Sleeky In a Bottle Serum - formulated with argan oil, macadamia oil, mineral oil, and phytosterols, the serum hydrate, moisturizes, and adds shine while also taming split ends and frizz.

Bangs

And - last but not least, we have bangs. Bangs have been around for so, so long, and they’re here to stay. There are also so many different types of bangs to choose from, so there really is something for everyone. For classic bangs, you can either cut them at home (as long as you know how) or take a trip to the hair salon and have a stylist do it. 

Well, that’s all folks. We hope that our list of top 10 hair trends for 2022 has helped change your mind about your current hairstyle.
