One of the biggest 2022 trends is the shag haircut, a versatile style that works with virtually any hair type. The Shag instantly builds volume especially for wavy or curly hair. Create whispy layers, also known as the octopus haircut, with point cutting, slide cutting, or razor. Dense hair may need some interior texturizing, best done freehand with scissors or razor.

Long layers with face framing that marked the 90’s supermodel trends are expected to be one of the top hair trends in 2022. Bottleneck bangs are quickly dethroned curtain bangs. They are the talk of the town with A-list celebs like Dakota Johnson and Lily Collins. Clients looking for the reset button but don’t want to chop off their locks will love this option. Shy clients with grown out hair will opt for some longer face framing layers to give their hair some shape.

The Balayage that we all know and love will continue into 2022 with some transitional changes. In particular darker shades that are closer together in levels will outgrow higher contrast color tones. Look for new pretty browns with multiple deeper shades to give dimension creating a polished look only found with professional salon colorists. Think less drastic, more of a subtle sun-kissed look.
