If last year focused on embracing natural texture and no-fuss hairstyles for obvious reasons (movie nights on the couch were quite the Friday night highlight!), 2022 is gearing up to be all that and a little something extra. Ringing in a new year calls for fresh starts of all kinds, making it the perfect time for new hair trends to guide us straight to the salon.
We’re taking last year’s low-maintenance styling up a notch with statement-making cuts that do all the work and call back to decades past — only the fashionable ones, of course. If you’ve been wanting to make a chop, there are shaggy layers, blunt fringe, and retro styles just waiting to be shorn. (We’re talking modern updates on vintage bobs, bangs, and long cuts, too.)
Here are the trendy haircuts you’ll be seeing everywhere this year.
From our partners:
1 – Textured Layers
You can add so much more texture to naturally fine hair using layers, layers, and more layers—focusing midway down the hair to the ends ensures you don’t lose too much volume.
2 – Short and Wild Shag
3 – Blunt Collarbone Cut
A lob that hits right at your collarbone is *the* most flattering length. Full stop. That’s all we need to say on the matter.
4 – Soft Curved Bob
We’re taking things back to the Old Hollywood bobs of yesteryear—which means soft ends, flattering curves, and a deep side part.
5 – Mia Wallace Bob
This Pulp Fiction cut is iconic in its own right. Now it’s your turn to make a statement.
6 – Blunt Textured Cut
Instantly make your hair look thicker by leaving the ends blunt and putting textured bend into the body. This one’s a keeper.
7 – Wispy Bangs
In case you got distracted by the show-stopping ginger hair color, this cut deserves just as much attention. Curls love a bunch of layering to add to their natural bounce, and wispy bangs refresh absolutely any haircut or length.
8 – Curtain Bangs
Perhaps our favorite trend that’s been gaining steam, curtain bangs look super stylish and a little bit retro all at the same time.
9 – Sharp Shoulder Cut
This style could cut glass with just one look, and it makes any classic bob or lob look modern and on-trend.
10 – 1970s Long Cut
The soft, feathered, and fluffy looks of the 1970s are not to be forgotten. This modern long cut gives a nod to the long-haired babes of decades past.
11 – Choppy Layers
Give your haircut an edgy dose of cool with choppy layers and bangs. It makes a plain lob look so last year.
12 – Blunt Chin Bob
We wish we could speak our minds as bluntly as these ends. Keeping a cut free from too much layering ensures a super thick bob with tons of style.
13 – Textured Fringe Bob
A take on a classic shag, this short bob by stylist Chris Jones plays up all the texture with layers and thick curtain bangs.
14 – Cropped Bangs
Baby bangs are here to stay. It’s the perfect accessory to a loud long cut of curls.
15 – Textured Lob
Keeping your haircut mainly one-length (read: not too many layers!) will always make it look enviously thick. This lob cut is roll-out-of-bed ready to go at all times.
16 – Layered Mid-Length Cut
This is the definition of letting your hair color do the work. Easy layers and a versatile length mean that you won’t be labored down with styling time.
17 – Trim Pixie
When you’re ready to take the ultimate plunge, call this boyish pixie á la Mia Farrow up. It’ll do the job.
18 – Soft A-Line Bob
This low-maintenance cut is slightly longer in the front than the back, which elongates and flatters oval and round face shapes to no end.
19 – Fringed Short Curls
Layers can give so much life to curls, and that especially goes for short cuts. Add lots of layers and a voluminous set of bangs, and you’re set to steal envious looks everywhere you go.
20 – Long and Layered Cut
