L‘appointment with the hairdresser in early spring 2022 has a special value: changing heads, apartir eda cut and hair color, to change spirit and perspectives. «There are moments when everything seems to be stopped, suspended: in those moments you can decide or rearrange the ordinaryor to do something new and extraordinary“.
This sentence of the Italian life and business coach Caterina Carbonardi is valid not only in the approach to work and post-pandemic life, but also in the mirror, with her own image. That moment is now, and the second option, that of more or less radical change, may indeed be the necessary one. Starting with the hair.
Hair 2022, the right cuts for spring
Hair 2022, the right cuts and colors for a restyling of the hair (from left, the bob with highlights by Taylor Hill; in the center the new bixir cut by Isabeli Fontana, on the right the long bob by Selena Gomez)
“People have gone through a very static period that has been mirrored in “Don’t cut” and hair with clean, self-managed lines. There was a need for order, control, typical of times when it is difficult to get out of your comfort zone “, he says Giuseppe D’Amatosalon hairstylist Belli and Capelli in Milan, Davines partner.
“Now we feel a need to liberation from patterns and limits, even self-imposed. “I want new cut and color, both!“Asks whoever enters the salon these days”.
On the Net it is all a circular of cuts that bring carefree already in the name, over all “Bixie” And “Mixie”. They are strictly mediocort, with a common thread: large scaling to give dynamism and volatility. The “Bixie” is the union of bob and pixie, therefore a short frayed bob, ’90s Meg Ryan style, for heads that look good on their own.
And the “Mixie” (pixie + mullet)? It’s a short still bolder and more disconnected, con the part on the back that remains long. The “Lily cut”, literally, lily cut (inverted): «One glamorous version of the shag, with personalized details such as fringe and unraveling that bring out the eyes and cheekbones, also ideal for an important change of look “he explains Sergio Carlucci, Co-Founder of Toni & Guy Italia.
The reason why they are depopulating is obvious, they revolutionize every head, they give energy. «Beyond the trends that can be more or less difficult to wear, what women notice is one new propensity for scaling and unraveling. A season arrives that cancels the net perimeters in favor of more total lightness, above all of spirit»Continues D’Amato.
Bob, the classic spring haircut
Speaking of portability, the choice that many will make for spring 2022 may be the bob, now difficult to define as a simple helmet. There is the long bob or “clavicut”resting on the collarbones, for those who are not very sure to cut but want to give character to the lengths.
There is the “French” just below the ears, which gives a sophisticated allure in Audrey Tatou or Juliette Binoche style. There is the “Chin” bob, at chin height, anti-aging frame effect (Anna Wintour teaches).
A thousand lives for a cut that is a bit like manifesto of femininity 2022, says Salvo Filetti, hair designer of Company of Beauty. He literally draws it on every client and he calls it “ri-lob”, where by “ri” he means “to be reborn: it seems to me a good time to invite every woman to a personal “Renaissance” style, which gives balance, harmony, ease of management“.
Design is fundamental. “Each hair, if cut at chin height, lightens and “swells”: that’s why it plays with unraveling on the perimeters and in depth pto give the right structure, light and space to the features »he adds D’Amato. The same goes for the long ones: “You scale from the ear down, both on the levels and in the layers: if the hair is heavy, it recovers air“.
Capelli 2022, a color reset
«Before proceeding with new tones and reflections, sometimes we suggest a sort of cleaning of the previous one” explains Davide Avellino, Master Colorist at the Blanche salon in Milan. “This is because the root, natural, takes the right color, while the lengths tend to react differently, often darkening“.
What is meant by reset? ” A kind of delicate pickling, which does not bleach the hair but only removes residues of old colors or deposits in the most porous parts. In this way, strikethroughs are eliminated and the performance of the new is prepared in the best possible way. It does not stress the hair because we add ai decapage Wella the restructuring Olaplex“.
Now, we can reason. “Armocromia is a truth to be taken into account. Even under changes, you should always to indulge one’s own chromatic identity. The women with “warm” complexions they shine with golden, red, caramelized nuances. The cold oneswith ash, gray or blue reflections in every shade ».
For those who want to darken
Who said that you have to lighten up in spring? Between the coolest nuance of the moment there is indeed the brown, to which Billie Eilish, Karlie Kloss, Hailey Bieber also converted. “It is reassuring: it gives intensity with elegance »continues D’Amato.
And it’s also tactical: “It tends to give the illusion of greater mass and fullness to thin hair“. In any casea blond or a discoloration does not darken by improvising.
“One is needed color filling step in which they are reintroduced part of the hot pigments, copper, red or gold. Then the final nuance is perfected, in a single session. Darken do it yourself makes you risk greenish reflections or mud»Warns Avellino. The chicest brown? The “Chocolate cake”, chocolate cake color, variegated with caramel or coffee, depending on the color tone of the complexion.
For those who want to lighten
On the blondes (and the reds, very popular this season) the goal is to turn the light back on. Let it be with the “Face framing”, which illuminates the hair especially in the front around the face, frame effect, or to the whole hair.
«The most natural yields occur with “baby lights” bleaching techniques, ie with very thin and diffused freehand locks all over the crown. In our salons, the service is called LumilightsHe adds Francesca Noli of Toni & Guy Milano Monti.
Or just “polish”
Any color can however regain brilliance with a glossing service. “They are used clear toners without pigment, polishes such as top coat on manicure. They give away a mirrored finish which makes the hair look glossy, therefore healthy “he concludes Avellino di Blanche.
The fringe, the accessory of SS 2022
Last option for one little hair revolution 2022 (without touching the lengths?). The fringe.
«Yes to whoever has spacious forehead, harmonious nose and profile, not too thin hair. Full bangs are a boom of the moment, but best to start with a open curtain model, which can be pinned to the sides, in view of the heat»Concludes D’Amato.
Is called “bottleneck fringe“, And less demanding because it is not horizontal so it does not “cut” the face. It fades gently, accompanying the summer. And to change, whatever it is.
