Now that the pandemic is stressing everyone out, changing your hair color is exactly the change you need. 2022 is all about a messy, low-maintenance look – get those roots ready now, so when everything is back to normal, you can wow your friends and family with your fabulous new look. Here are the latest hair color trends for 2022.
1. Stripes that frame the face or “money piece”
This is a great look if you don’t want to commit to a full head dye or if you want to experiment with a bright, bold color. It is essentially an explosion of reflections that begin on the partial front line. Consider a two-tone stripe like the one Bella Hadid tried with her reddish-orange stripes. 90s colors are making a comeback with this look! It’s modern and low-maintenance, allowing you to integrate a new look more seamlessly.
2. Brown Balayage
Are you a brunette but feel like your color is a little dull lately? Consider brown balayage, which adds plenty of sun-kissed dimension but isn’t too drastic a decision. Ask your colorist (or do your research) about the different shades of brown strategically placed throughout your hair.
3. Preparation for winter
What exactly is winterizing? It’s not just one color. Instead, it’s a subtle tweak to your current tones with an extra va-va-voom feel. We’re talking about a richer, warmer, more dimensional version of your 2020 look. This could mean ribboning in deeper blonde or cerebral tones, or adding a shimmer to make the color look richer. For both blondes and brunettes, golden and amber tones are perfect to play with.
4. Almond edges
Perfect for ushering in warm weather, soft nutty tones with a warm scent will be everywhere in spring and summer this year. From cashews to walnuts to almonds, these soft shades can be integrated into brown and blonde hair, turning rich, deep tones into lighter, softer shades.
5. Black diamond
This version of jet black flatters a wide range of skin tones. It is a power move that is glamorous and represents a charismatic sense of authority. Makes hair shiny and healthy: on dark skin it enhances rich tones, while on pale skin it provides an elegant Snow White vibe. The key is to make the black tone as dark and bright as possible.
