Hair trends 2022: what will be the must-have cuts
“Scaling and “shagging”: In my opinion, these will be the macro-trends that will guide the 2022 hairlook ”, he explains Enzo Angileri, Italian hairstylist for thirty years in Hollywood.
«The leitmotif will be essential geometry, understood not as solidity or thickness but as an artful scaling, which gives lightness and movement. Hair that moves freely and really helps to update your look. Enough with trite cuts, short at the back and long at the front », suggests the expert.
A new and more jaunty year, even in the head
“2022 will see the return of either longer or shorter versions, a la David Bowie. The great source of inspiration will be the Rock and roll world, where creativity is taken to extremes and has always expressed itself with high-impact hairlooks which, reinterpreted without losing the objective, work very well », continues Angileri.
“Yes, then, to a decidedly new look that makes you feel light and, above all, easy to wear. Color will also become an important key to having fun and experimenting. Have fun! », Suggests the expert.
“During the change of seasons, people often tend to look for a fresh and dynamic change for their hairlook as well. From shorts to super shorts, the cuts that are dominating the international scene are the most daring and gritty ones, “he confirms Fabrizio Palmieri, Creative Director of TONI & GUY Italy.
«The next few months will be centered on volume, movement and on starting to get involved again, after the last two particular years. Fringes, scaling and accentuated textures, but above all a lot of return to naturalness, to enhance the authentic beauty of one’s hair ».
1. Hair Trends 2022: the new mullet season
Among the main ones hair trends 2022, the mullet occupies an important place. “It is a dynamic and fresh cut, suitable for all types of face”, explains Fabrizio Palmieri.
«It takes inspiration from the music scene of the seventies and eighties, and today many celebrities wear it, like Miley Cyrus, for example. The protagonist of this cut is the texture. Depending on personal taste, the more the games with the scaling will be incisive, the more volume and texture will be obtained to frame the face, softening it. It is beautiful in all its versions and fusions, perfect for expressing a glam-rock style ».
2. The revenge of the pixie, short and with panache
Short yes, but with an all-contemporary appeal: “The pixie is declined in a 2.0 evolution, with less hard perimeters and left to grow naturally to create a grunge and boyish effect”, adds Palmieri.
The actress recently chose him Léa Seydoux, who opted for a casual short with micro fringe, disciplined by a side line and lit by warm reflections. A real header, which gives her a lot.
3. The continuous fascination of the bob
Among the 2022 hair trends, the bob does not lose appeal, which continues to be irresistible, in all its forms.
«The“ power pob ”version will be the most popular, thanks to characters like Shiv Roy, aka Sarah Snok, and Naomi Pierce, played by Annabelle Dexter-Jones, both characters from the TV series Succession, which fueled the trend.
It is about an elegant bob worn above or below the chin, The mix & match between a clean and strong line in contrast with the lower part of the cut, blunt and soft. Perfect combination of character and softness », adds the hairstylist.
4. The “Lop”, the parade helmet
The bob, or helmet if you prefer, continues to please even outside the script requirements. Among the last famous to yield, for example, Jessica Alba. A real revolution, after a life with long hair.
Furthermore, between the pixie cut and the classic bob, a new cut is peeping out: the “Lop”, as American beauty magazines have renamed it. It is about a very short helmet that has its strong point in the scales, ideal for those who dream of a short but do not feel like giving it a definitive cut.
Among the first to yield, the actress Florence Pugh, went from long medium to short.
5. The long seventies
Cut, mind you, is not an obligation, on the contrary: the long still has its fans, and they are very many.
“Known for its versatility, the “luxe-looking hair” returns in the Seventies version, a tribute to Jane Birkin’s style. The scaling is bold and the textures almost “wild”; the styling is natural, with hair free to express its nature. The look is also often complemented by the fringe, a real accessory that returns to the scene in its curtain or even version », concludes Fabrizio Palmieri.
The fringe, not negligible detail, it is also one perfect anti wrinkle ally. What cannot be seen, on the other hand, does not exist, at least in the eyes of the world …
