It’s hard to believe we’re halfway through 2022. Before we roll into another year, there’s still some time left to experiment with a new hair do. If you’ve been thinking about changing it up but don’t have the confidence to go through with it, our expert stylists are here to help. Whether it’s a new style inspired by a current fad on socials or classic hair looks influenced by cultural trends, 2022 might be the year to explore with something a little more radical. Ready to take the plunge?
Let’s look at the top 5 hair trends for a little inspiration to get you going.
1. Fringes
Also known as bangs, the classic fringe is back in 2022! With so many ways to wear a daring fringe, it’s a great way to change your everyday look and boost your confidence at the same time. Whether it’s a blunt style, slightly textured or a flowing side fringe, we can help you create the perfect cut to suit your face shape and everyday design style. To ensure your locks are maintained to absolute perfection (whether it’s during office hours or a night out on the town with friends), using complementary products such as styling creams and sprays will keep your fringe looking sleek and bomb for every occasion.
2. Voluminous Blowaves
A sexy and voluminous Blowwave never really goes out of fashion. Just think of the glamorous Victoria Secret models sashaying down the runway with their bouncy wavy hair or the vivacious ladies on The Real Housewives of Melbourne, who rarely leave the house without a professional Blowwave. Whether you’re going from the corporate office to a social event at night, a blow wave is still one of those hairstyles that demand attention - no matter where you are and what you’re doing. If you’re someone that likes to get regular blow dry’s weekly, fortnightly or just simply for that special ‘one off’ occasion, it’s the perfect style for 2022.
3. Short Hair Don’t Care
More and more people are opting for shorter hair and 2022 is the year to do it. If you’ve been pondering cutting your hair shorter but haven’t had the courage to go through with it, now is the time to embark on that change. Think buzz cuts, layered looks and even blunt bob haircuts. There’s something quite refreshing about chopping you hair off. Not only does it feel like a new lease on life, it’s a chance to really give your hair that healthy boost it’s needed for a long time. Why wait any longer? We say, just go for it!
4. Beach Waves
Who doesn’t love summery beach waves? We certainly do. Yes, we know Winter is well and truly here in Melbourne and summer seems like a long way away, but don’t fret - you can still get away with those beautiful beach waves even during the cooler months. Just think Mermaid hair wands, GHD straightening/curling iron or even the latest hair sprays designed for achieving the perfect beach look all year round.
5. Soft Brown & Gold
Gentle hues of brown and gold are making a huge comeback in 2022. With blends of caramel, gold or light brown colours, there are multiple variations we can use to achieve the ultimate brown haired style. Doing this yourself though may look easy and we certainly don’t recommend it. As professional colourists, we know how to mix the right colours to ensure we get the desired outcome you’re looking for.
So, there you have it - the Top 5 Hair Trends for 2022.
