5 Haircut Trends In 2022

1. New-gen Shag

From the late ’70s to 2019, when we had a glimpse of it, shags have been on the radar for quite some time now. However, shags are far different from what it was then, which is evident as we keep seeing them everywhere. This shows that 2022 will be a year where we will begin to see different variations of shags, especially cool razored fringes with a touch of the ’70s. Whether with curled or straight hair, new-gen shags have evolved and will be a dominant haircut in 2022.

2. The Big Chop

With everything that happened in 2021 and the long wait for 2022, change is inevitable, and one of the signs of change will be the chop. While some of us would love to go long, many would love to embrace change, slicing off all the hair and going short. While “The Big Chop” generally means taking out most of your hair, it would mean different things to different people with many short hairstyles coming to play. While the traditional pixie seems popular for lower haircuts, 2022 will feature longer hair on top of hair shaped at the sides, which will be great.

3. Sleek High Ponytail

Almost everyone, with ponytails, got their hair all messy sitting at home across the year. In the season of high expectations and setting standards, 2022 will feature the end of low ponytails and the emergence of sleek and high ponytails – sort of like the Kim Kardashian and Jenifer Lopez outlook we all love. With the need for fancier perspectives and something a lot more different than the usual, the high ponytail fits the bill. All it takes is a little restructuring, a nice hairspray, and a toothbrush for easy treatment of flyaways.

4. The Season of Layers

With many people getting used to natural textures and looking to change their style without chopping most of their hair off, layering seems to be a good fit. It is easy to wear and maintain, and with shorter layers around the face and shorter layers all over, layers will be a haircut trend to look out for in 2022. 

5. The Modern Shag

The modern shag was Tailor Swift’s haircut for the entirety of 2021, and this is a trend set to enter the new year with other following. With many layering fans out there looking for a change, the modern shag is a haircut trend that will help make a cool outlook. It is also a good following for those who love to embrace natural hair textures.

Bottom Line

If you want to embrace change in 2022, irrespective of your personality and what you are looking to achieve, your hairstyle is a good place to start because it can go a long way in making sure that people perceive us the right way. Yes, you should always be yourself, not living based on what people think, but you should always try as much as possible to look your best, especially in the new year. So if you are looking for some of the best haircut trends that will dominate 2022, this is a good place to start.
