Lhe year is almost over and it’s time to retrace those who have been the best haircuts of 2022. From big comebacks, like the scapula bob, up to the new trends – think of the cuts shags and the various versions of the mullet – here are the hair looks we loved the most and the ones we will find again in 2023.
The most beautiful haircuts of 2022: the bob in all its lengths
The bob is certainly the most loved and interpreted cut of 2022. In this year we have been able to admire many variations: from French Bob, later evolved into “The Coco Bob” obviously inspired by the stylist Coco Chanel, to the “Torn Bob” in perfect 90s style and slightly disheveled.
The bob does not necessarily leave the nape uncovered, it extends to touch even the shoulder blades, recalling the origin of this medium hairlook, one of the absolute and genderless favorites.

More and more celebrities choose it: from Florence Pugh to Kim Kardashian. In the radar of hairstylists, this cut will also return in 2023. Enriched however by long fringes and bold colors: to give it the creative twist and impact that the new year needs.
Wolf cut and Shag, the cuts with an 80s flavor
2022 has also brought attention back to the scaled and fluffy cutsperfect for give volume to thin hair and embellish natural wavy hair.
On the podium we find both the Shag cut and the “Wolf Cut”, also in its soft version. Beloved both by the over 50s – like Jennifer Lopez – and by the very young, both haircuts evoke the 70’s and 80’s vibes which are super trendy today.
Voluminous but not tousled, the hair can then be embellished with a curtain fringe which completes the hairstyle and gives an anti-aging effect. Versatile and easy to maintain even at home, this haircut will also be back in 2023 because it allows “tailor made” interpretations and above all because it communicates a strong personality.

Made popular in the 60s the pixie cut is still today one of the most loved cuts by celebrities, so much so that even very young girls like Köe Kraviz are experimenting with it with ultra-glamorous results.

Curtain bangs: the must have of 2022
For two years on the podium of the best haircuts, there curtain fringe or curtain bangs it is among the most requested hairlooks in the salon.
It manages to embellish any type of cut, from medium to long ones. It was also recently sported by Jenna Ortegaas Wednesday Addams. For 2023 the curtain fringe will evolve into the “Shag Bangs” with a decidedly more rock flavour.
How does it differ? The central part is shorter to then stretch to the sides until it reaches the cheekbones. This feature not only makes it adaptable to any shape of cut but it also allows those who choose it to characterize the look, softening the facial features and disguising some details that we don’t like.
