Intricate hairstyles are taking the spotlight. ‘Single French Chic’ Braids, Box Braids and knotless braids have become quite popular because 1: they cool & 2: they keep your hair away from your face. For this new trending hairstyle, thick-haired ladies, all you need is a drizzle of Hair Oil and you’re ready to braid.


3. Mane Accessories? Yes Please!

Live A Bang-ing Life

Get ready because you’re about to see a lot of bangs. Bangs are a great way to give your look a major transformation and can be worn in multiple ways. If you’re already rocking a bang, it’s time to get bolder with the trending Straight Across, Heavy Blunt bang. Another style that’s been quite the rage are Side Bangs; A side-swept, slightly longer bangs. The bottleneck, curtain, and asymmetric bangs are others that made the cut.


6. Layering The 90’s Back

7. Bobs Are Here To Stay

Bobs Are Here To Stay

This classic yet chic hairstyle is going nowhere. The Mid-Length and the Alexa-Style Bob are at the forefront and alongside them, the Sliced Bob, Centre Part Bob and the Side Part Bob have made quite an appearance in 2022. So for those ready to stay up to date with the latest hair trends, a Bob cut is the way to go.

This new hairstyle goes out to all the smooth operators. For those of you who like the edgy wet-hair look, it’s about time you slick it all the way back. Because gurl, this is your ticket to Trendy Nation. If you haven’t had the time to wash your hair, all you need is to spray some water and slick your tresses behind with a fine comb.

Colour Up In Au Naturale

More natural coloured hair dyes have been spotted on many celebrities. One-dimensional colours like soft black, subtle chocolate brown hues and warm ginger tints have replaced the famous balayage.

 

10. Natural Texture Fringe

As is the case with curls, the less you manipulate coily and kinky textures, the better—especially when it comes to a lush curtain or cascade of fringe.

We hope your inspiration board is all filled up, but most of all, make sure you enjoy the journey because only Happy Hair Days Are Ahead!
