Just a month into the new year, we have been inundated with ‘new hair, new me’ reveals all over our Instagram feeds. A-listers including, Miley Cyrus, Hailey Bieber, Lily Collins, and Dua Lipa have been giving us the ultimate hair envy with their foolproof approaches to ‘the perfect cut’. If you too feel like switching it up but you’re not quite sure how, we have found five hair trends that are everywhere right now, from sun-kissed manes to blow out bangs, these are the styles that are blowing up!
Hair Frosting
In 2022 we’re saying goodbye to balayage and hello to hair frosting, keeping it natural every step of the way. The freehand technique, which is proving popular among celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie, uses bleach to lighten individual strands of hair, leaving the darker base colour natural. This creates a contrast between the light and dark, giving the hair a sun-kissed feel which is more subtle in appearance than its sister style, balayage.
Shorter Than Short
When it comes to bobs, anything goes – long or short, take your pick! While long lengths used to be the cut of choice, in recent years we have seen beauty icons chop off their locks in favour of the chic, much shorter style. If a super short crop seems daunting, then there are many different styles to experiment with. Take the trendy ‘lob’ for example which has been sported by supermodel after supermodel as of late.

Tousled Tresses
When it comes to styling your hair, nothing beats those tousled waves that sway from side to side in the most effortless of ways. Often natural, or easy to create, the tousled hairstyle is one of the simplest to maintain, not to mention it looks amazing too! A little finishing cream or a spritz of texturising spray and you’re good to go.
Stamp It Up
The playful hair stamp trend, which is resurfacing from its early 2000s heyday, takes crazy cut-out shapes, and stamps them onto the hair using vibrant, stand-out shades of colour to create patterns and prints. Bringing their own hair to life, stars like Dua Lipa and Rihanna have hopped on the wild trend to give their tresses a twist!
70s-Inspired Bangs
Possibly the most sought-after hair trend of the moment is big, blow out style, 70s-inspired bangs. Featuring long, layered lengths and a choppy trim at the front, this feathered style is sure to add drama to any look, basic or not.
