HAIRSTYLE TRENDS 2022 FOR WOMEN:
BLUNT CUT, BABY BRAIDS AND SUPER SHORT BOB
Mullets, bobs and bangs: Autumn and winter 2021 will be a wild year for women's heads. But what will we save from this into 2022? Can we even predict the hairstyle trends for the coming year? We think that's definitely possible. Because we will carry the hair trends beyond autumn and winter 2021/22 into next year!
WHICH HAIRSTYLES ARE TRENDING FOR WOMEN IN 2022?
We believe that what is currently trending in fall 2021 will continue into 2022. So let's take a look at what is popular in terms of hairstyles and will make it into next year.
Firstly, there is the mullet. For men, Bill Kaulitz is the leading style, while women are more into Rihanna. Unlike the classic mullet, the trend this winter is moving towards the pullet. This means that the longest section of hair ends at the nape of the neck or roughly above the shoulders. The pullet is a mixture of pixie and mullet, so with the pullet mullet you are wearing the best of three different hairstyles.
Have you heard of the wolf cut? This cut consists of a wild mane (layered) with bangs. Billie Eilish, for example, likes this hairstyle. The wild mane has a lot of volume on top of the head, and thins out towards the bottom. Styling this kind of hairstyle is easy. You just work some texture spray into your hair, that's all you need. The cut does the styling, so to speak, and that even applies to curly hair.
Another phenomenon that you simply have to know is the shag mullet. This is a combination of shaglet and mullet. Also known as shaggy mullet, the hair is parted in the middle, layered to shoulder length and then simply styled. Beautifully frayed curtain bangs frame your face, optionally with long bangs. But what is a shaglet? The mixture of shag and mullet only shows delicately defined layers, the bangs can be left out.
Let's take a look at short hairstyles. In 2022, short hair is also in fashion, it doesn't have to be a wild, tousled mane. Short hair is rather pleasant, especially in summer. Among short haircuts, the bob is particularly popular. It is kept very classic, it is still with bangs or without bangs, tousled and relaxed. How long the bob is cut is flexible. So it doesn't have to be too short. Unless you want to ride the trend wave to the extreme: then it can also be the micro bob or the super short bob.
Important to know: Let nature take its course. Let the curls flow, let the waves have their freedom. Beach waves in particular will become a trend in summer 2022. Because a relaxed approach to your hair means not straightening it too much. It is enough to work on your bob with a little texture spray.
WHICH HAIRCUTS ARE CURRENTLY FASHIONABLE?
Bangs are totally trendy in November 2021. Especially for medium-length hair, because they look cool with any style. You can wear your medium-length hair wavy or straight, messy or curly. Miley Cyrus shows us how it's done!
When we talk about long hair or medium length, we must not forget another trend: the mullet is back in fashion. Don't be alarmed, the 80s trend hairstyle is totally retro and absolutely hip. However, the mullet has also grown up, because it can now be a little longer and show smoother transitions. If you haven't been able to get used to the hairstyle at all so far, we have a kind of toned down version for you. You have your hair styled with a middle parting and then cut in layers up to shoulder length. The bangs gently flatter your facial features. So you definitely won't look like Rudi Völler! In 2021, the mullet can no longer be assigned to a gender and is worn by everyone.
We're seeing the blunt cut quite a lot at the moment. It's a blunt haircut where all the hair is cut to exactly the same length. There are no layers or edges. The complete opposite of the layered mullet is, oddly enough, on trend and will survive the winter into next year. The blunt cut is actually a classic because it never really disappeared. A nice side effect: the cut suits every woman and makes your face look slimmer.
WHICH HAIRSTYLE SUITS WHICH FACE SHAPE?
The mullet is an all-rounder and can be cut to suit any face. However, the length must be carefully considered to suit the shape of the face. The exception is narrow faces: in these cases the mullet is not so good. The cut stretches the face even more, so that you quickly find yourself unattractive. The hairstyle with bangs simply takes up a lot. This is ideal for an oval face. And the mullet is also a good choice for round facial features. In this case, however, the cut should at least be shoulder-length.
Be careful if you've never had a cut like this before! Go easy, start with medium length and soft transitions. The differences between short hair and the lengths won't be so extreme.
WHICH HAIRSTYLES ARE POPULAR FOR LONG HAIR?
Textured braids will be the total trend in 2022. We can already feel it now, in the transition to winter 2021/22. Always braid! Textured braids are practical because with a little spray the hair is fixed and simply looks freshly styled all day long. Do you already know the different options for braiding? After all, a simple braid is boring! In 2022 it has to be a French braid (also known as a herringbone or Mozart braid). If you do exactly the opposite when wetting the hair, i.e. if you fold the strands from the right and left not over the middle strand but through it, the braid will look put on. This is the so-called Flemish braid.
If you only want to braid a little, choose baby braids. The strands that directly frame the face are braided from top to bottom. The rest of the hair is left open.
WHICH HAIR COLOURS ARE TRENDING?
In autumn 2021, the icy platinum blonde that has been popular for so long is slowly saying goodbye. The tones are getting warmer again. That's why in 2022 it can be a warm blonde with a yellowish tinge again. The whole range from warm blonde to a reddish chestnut brown and fiery mahogany balayage is in. Don't worry if the colours grow out: With face-framing highlight you can lighten the look so that everything can grow out smoothly again.
The colors should be stable, however. While it was trendy to wear multiple colors in your hair in 2020, that's now a thing of the past. You only wear one color. Instead of highlights, you care for your hair so that it shines smoothly and shows light reflections. You don't need any more hair colors in 2022.
