The year 2022 has brought new trends to the hairstyle scene again! The catwalks in Paris, New York, Milan and London showed us this last autumn and we counted: Get ready for a total of 10 new hair trends that have it all!
We have the right hairstyle for every type
In addition to natural waves and the short bob, low ponytails and buns in combination with a precisely styled middle parting, with and without bangs, are on the rise this year. In general, we say goodbye to the side parting and hello to the middle parting, because it was present at all fashion houses on all catwalks in the world. WhichHaircuts are currently popularand what else you can expect in terms of hairstyles this year, we will briefly and concisely list them here. Have fun reading and trying out!
The Jawline Bob
The bob haircut is probably one of those trends that will never go out of style. In 2022, war will definitely be announced for the classic bob, because it has to make room for the short bob or the jaw line bob. The English wordJaw linemeans nothing else lower jaw and that is exactly what defines itLength of the new bob trend! This hairstyle trend skilfully flatters the jawline and is therefore particularly suitable for women who have a tapered face shape. Whether sleek or tousled with gentle waves or with or without bangs, the Jaw Line Bob will dominate heads in 2022!
Outgrown Pony
Last year the magic word was – pony! And the trend is never ending, on the contrary, it is getting longer and longer. If you already have bangs and haven't trimmed them in a while, then you're now right on trend. Numerous models demonstrated it on the big catwalks last fall at Chanel, Hermès and Versace, among others: The new fringe trend must definitely cover the eyebrows and can even touch the eyelashes slightly, then it will be exactly the right length. No matter whether long and sleek, long and wavy or in combination with a short bob - with the extra-length bangs you are always on trend!
Curtain Bangs
The curtain bangs pony trend has been with us since last year and won't let us go in 2022 either. What translates as “curtain bangs” is nothing other than a classic fringe that is parted in the middle and plays around the forehead on both sides. Just like a window with the curtain open. The great news: Curtain bangs are the perfect addition to any hairstyle and suit absolutely everyone! Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin have already mastered it. So what are you waiting for? Book your hairdressing appointment todayPlanityand get your new favorite pony.
PS: Women with particularly long hair can combine the curtain bangs with a blow-dry hairstyle à la 70s (see further down in the article). Wow effect guaranteed!
Der Pixie-Cut
This classic short hairstyle is by far the hairstyle that shows off the face best! This year we can embrace freedom and comfort when it comes to hairstyles, which is why you'll still see the pixie cut (short and cute at the same time) on every street corner. But before you attempt this rather radical cut, be sure to seek advice from your trusted hairdresser. There are really countless different variations of the pixie and you should choose exactly the shape that best suits your face shape.
Lop – Der Long Pixie
Attention women with narrow or oval face shapes! In 2022 we welcome the lop, a form of pixie cut that we just introduced to you. With a long pixie, the top hair in particular stays a little longer, while the hair underneath is often cut shorter. The bangs can also be a little longer (up to chin length) and are almost reminiscent of the bob. In short, the new trend cut is a mix of bob and pixie and shines with its countless cutting and styling options.
Accent Braids
Do you like playful, feminine looks? Then this new trend is just right for you because it gives you the perfect “bohemian feeling”! As the English name suggests, these are small braids (on one or both sides) that are braided into the hair that is actually open and give your mane a playful touch. It's entirely up to you whether you want to braid one, two or more braids and whether you prefer them narrower or wider. You can get creative with this trend! To everyone who wears a middle part: If your hair is long enough, it's best to braid the first two strands that would otherwise fall over your face into narrow braids that frame your face. We saw this trend particularly frequently on the catwalks last year.
Neck hairstyle + middle parting
In spring and summer, high ponytails are over; from now on, the evergreen hairstyle is worn low on the neck. And this is best done in combination with a middle parting in a sleek look. On hot days, the trend can also be worn as a bun, because you don't risk getting sweaty and at the same time you are perfectly styled. No matter whether you like it relaxed and playful or tidy and strict. You can either tie the braid at the nape of your neck very loosely (possibly using a scarf as an accessory) or very tightly by first attaching the hair from the parting to the top of the head with wet-look styling cream (so that no hairs are left sticking out). and then tie the braid together with a tight elastic at the nape of the neck.
Gentle waves
In 2022 we will say goodbye to tidy waves and curls and welcome soft waves. Anyone whose hair is naturally blessed with a light wavy structure scores points here. This trend is not about the waves falling particularly beautifully and orderly, but on the contrary: naturalness is the key to the new dream mane. To create this “fresh from the beach look” you don’t need heat and you can safely leave your flat iron and curling iron in the closet. Simply braid your slightly damp hair loosely into one or more braids and let it dry overnight. This look is particularly popular at the moment in combination with the short and long bob. It's not just the models on the catwalks who have shown us how it's done, numerous stars have already adapted this trend. So why not you too?
The Wolf Cut
One hairstyle is currently making particularly big headlines, both on the world's major catwalks and on social media, and Billie Eilish is considered the inventor of this new hair trend. The wolf cut combines two hairstyles that have caused controversy in the past and combines it into a modern, grungy-cool look with a retro factor. The new cut was created from the shag cut and the classic mullet from the 1980s - let someone say again that the mullet was the faux pas of 20th century hairstyles! For the modern version, we simply combine the best of the two haircuts: the long hair at the nape of the neck, the number 1 identifying feature of the mullet, and the layered, frayed layers of the shaggy cut. Et voilà – the birth of the Wolf Cut. The advantage in contrast to its role models: You can wear this cut just as well with short hair as with XXL lengths! And another plus: The hairstyle is easy to care for, as all you need to do is wrap the wet hair in strands around your fingers and then let it air dry. You only need to be careful with hair that is too fine and thin, as you run the risk of losing volume due to the heavily layered hair. +75% searches on Pinterest and over 130 million views on Tik Tok for the hashtag #wolfcut provide proof of the success of the new trend. If you don't dare, you don't win, right?
Föhnfrisur in the 70s
And since we've just taken the mullet out of the mothbox, let's move on to the iconic blow-dry hairstyle of the 70s à la Farah Fawcett. You might think that this trend repeats itself every 20 years, because Cindy Crawford also adapted this hairstyle in the famous 1990s: curtain bangs, flowing curls and an XXL volume. This look guarantees you a retro touch that is feminine and seductive at the same time. And the best thing: you can be creative and give the retro hit your own personal touch. This styling is best suited for medium to long hair and it is always advisable to have your hair lightly styled by a professional. The trend is therefore particularly suitable for those who are blessed with thick hair, but even thinner hair can be helped by working a volume mousse into the hair before styling.
Here's how to do it: Detangle your hair with a comb immediately after showering and then apply a heat protectant before drying your hair. Blow dry your hair upside down for maximum volume and a loose roots. Now use a large diameter round brush on the slightly pre-dried hair and twist the lengths outwards. At the end of the blow-drying process, use the cold air function to fix the hairstyle. Your Back to the 70s look is ready! Would you rather leave the styling to the professionals? No problem, your trusted hairdresser will be happy to advise you.

FAQ
Which hairstyle is trending in 2022?

Especially short and medium-length hair, also in combination with layers, give the hair more volume and bounce and automatically make you look more vital and younger.

A pony is particularly suitable for hiding the first signs of aging skillfully and without surgical intervention. It's not for nothing that they say “bangs before botox” in English.
