Popular Hairstyles For Women in 2022

1. The Blunt Bob Hairstyle

The blunt bob has been super popular for some time now, and it’s easy to see why. Being one of the biggest hairstyle trends for 2022, the bob hairstyle is flattering, easy to maintain and it projects a sense of feminine self-confidence.
The bob hairstyle trend looks likely to carry on in 2022, but I think it’s much better to move away from the sharp angles towards a gentler, more textured take on the style.
Only imagine wearing the classic blunt bob but softened, with a hint of texture at the ends. It’s a subtle detail that adds a more interesting air to a strong hairstyle that isn’t about to disappear from the list of popular hairstyles in 2022.

2. Natural Textured Hair

As I already mentioned in the Best Fall Hair Colors 2020 article, the natural hair look will be forever trending.

In a world full of hair extensions, extravagant dye colors and thousands of look changes, a short period of natural look is just welcome. Spend some time rediscovering yourself and let your natural beauty spark.

After such a period, you’ll rock again better than ever with an awesome hairstyle transformation.

3. Beach waves

In 2022 it’s time to take advantage of your hair’s natural wavy texture! Either way, if you’ve got straight locks, hurry up to a hair products shop and get a beach waves hairstyle for your next event. A product that I’ve tested and worked just perfect for my hair was the Moroccanoil texture beach waves mousse.

As it is one of the most elegant hairstyles for 2022, you’ll be a presence to remember with this easy to do and comfy hairstyle!

4. Shag Hairstyle

2022 is set to be the year of the shag! Why? Because it is one of the most adored medium length hairstyles in 2022!

We are of course referring to the shag, a layered 70s hairstyle with messy bangs and plenty of rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The shag has been enjoying something of a renaissance, with fresh modernized touches.

The modern shag tends to differentiate itself from the classic 70s look by incorporating more texture, which adds life and face-flattering softness to a fun, retro hairstyle.

5. Braids Hairstyle

We’ve heard it so many times: braids are an easy way to forget about hair styling for months!

Braided hairstyles are the best way to explore your creativity, and they are one of the most popular hairstyles of 2022. There are many interesting hair braiding techniques, and all of them have a single purpose: to make every stunning woman be unique.

Besides that, you can experiment with highlights, natural or curly texture, shapes, etc.

So, are you ready to give it a try? Beyonce already did, and she looks pretty awesome!

6. Pixie Hairstyle

“Shorter than we’ve seen the pixie cut in the past, this look has less movement overall and provides a freshness for the new year.” – Michael Sparks, hairstylist and co-owner of Tabb & Sparks Salon.

2022’s take on pixie cuts are either super short or just a bit longer than normal. This short length hairstyle feels very modern for the new decade.

7. Afro Hairstyle

Here’s just a stylish hairstyle trend idea for curly hair lovers: afro hairstyle. This 2022 hairstyle will add volume and effect to your look with just a few professional hair products and a pretty simple technique. Here’s a tutorial about how to get afro curls:

8. The Classic Ponytail

One of the most popular hairstyles for women in 2022 will be ponytails. Even if you choose to keep your hair low at the nape of your neck, or high with a black hair band around, you’ll look stunning and elegant with both choices.

9. Curly Bangs Hairstyle

The curly bangs hairstyle will give you an innocent barbie doll look you’ll adore during the warm season in 2022.

10. Hair Layers

Layered cuts give a unique volume effect to your hair. Well, if you need a fresh haircut but you feel totally uninspired in this period, I’d recommend you to go for a modern layered cut. It’s one of the best hairstyle trends in 2022 after all.

11. Face Framing Tendrils

The face framing tendrils are the most glamorous hairstyle trend in 2022. Even if you choose to wear them combined with a ponytail hairstyle or a glittery headband, you’ll rock. Little tip: gel or hairspray your face framing tendrils so they’ll be pointy enough to complete your cat-eye or voluminous lips.

12. Voluminous Hairstyle

If you’ve got thin hair, it can be hard work trying to give it some volume and keep it looking good after you leave the house each morning. The good news is that there are some tips to keep it the way you want.

It only depends on the length (not longer than your shoulders level), on the hair products you’re using and on the habits you have regarding your hair care routine. Good luck with maintaining the perfect voluminous hair style in 2022! 

13. Euphoria Hair

If your hair isn’t covered in pearls or some kind of shimmery baubles in 2022, chances are you’re not very updated with the latest hair trends.

Whether decorating larger hair accessories or dotting the hair delicately all on their own, hair jewelries are a lovely touch and we’re happy to list them as the cutest hairstyle trends in 2022.

Pinned pearls dotted through the hair lend a very romantic touch to glamorous retro hairstyles. Just be sure to remove all your hair glitz carefully (don’t toss them away or let them go down the drain).

14. Straight or side bangs

Bangs are a hairstyle that you’ll see everywhere in 2022. Looking both natural and elegant, you can cut your bangs in many styles, adjusting it to your face features. This year, you can both go for a long, side bang style, or a straight, perfectly contoured one.

15. Center Part Hairstyle

This is a universal truth: the best hair part is the one that fits you best. Anyway, there are some trends regarding it. In 2022, the center part hairstyle is having its glory moment, with all the celebrities adopting it at the begining of this year. Well, if you don’t feel ready for a new haircut from the 2022 trending list, you can simply switch your hair part and you’re already in style.

16. Long Lenght Hair

With so many shags and pixies in style last year, now it’s time for the total opposite: the long, Rapunzel hair is back in style in 2022.
