Hair Trends for Summer 2022

As we approach the warmer weather, many people decide to adjust their hairstyle so they'll stay cooler.  For many, they look for an easy to care for hairstyle while others want something new.  Every year, every season, there are trends for the lastest and summer 2022 is no exception.  

For the most part, women prefer easy to care for styles.  Ones that are wash and wear, low maintenance, so they can spend their time enjoying the season,  When the term low maintenance is used, it refers to getting a style that works with your hair and takes into account the local climate.

Curly bobs are back this summer. This cut allows you to look cool while you stay cool. In addition, a curly bob works well with someone who has type 3 or 4 hair.  It goes with any outfit but if you match it up with dark sunglasses, and firey lipstick, you'll look fantastic.

If you prefer having a bit of length, look at having your hair done in round layers.  This particular haircut give a more voluminous silhouette but with less hair towards the bottom.  Furthermore, the layers soften the shape while opening it up to having better volume and body.  This is the perfect cut for recreating the 90's look.

On the other hand, for those who like short hair, try for a pixie.  It is short and quite easy to care for.  It gives a lightweight breezy look and is excellent if you have extremely damaged hair and since it doesn't require a ton of tools to look good, it means your hair can get a rest from chemicals, extensions, etc.

Another cut for those who want a slightly longer cut, check out the collarbone length cut referred to as a lob. Due to it's length, it can be worn loose or pulled back into a pony tail or bun. For those with fine or straight hair, try making the lob blunt or asymmetrical.  On the other hand, the ends can be razor cut to add texture to curly or wavy hair.

The shag haircut is back with a modern twist.  It is cut longer so wearers show more of an attitude, adds shape,  and it works for most types of hair.  It is not recommended for super fine or extremely straight hair because the shag requires the hair to be layered and neither type of hair works well if a lot is removed.  It also has some sort of bangs associated with it.  

For bangs, the most popular ones are side bangs that provide a sweep or the birkin bangs which are from the 1960's and still popular.  Either choice makes a statement to the world.  Finally are faux locs that can be pined in so you don't have to have your hair matted.  They come in a variety of colors, can be worn in an updo, partially up, or totally down.

You have a lot of choices available this summer.  Choose something you are comfortable with and enjoy.  Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear. Have a great day.
