01. The omnipresent bob

There are numerous variations of a bob, and varying styles corresponding to each one of them. From a statement-making poker-straight cut to a style characterised by bangs, the bob is unbelievably versatile. 2022 is going to witness people elevating their looks with the ultra-chic haircut. We're going to see newer renditions of the style with short and long lengths headlining the look.
02. Glossy blowouts

A lot of us prefer messy, voluminous blowouts (and even hairstyles that are effortless and low-maintenance), but it's safe to say that we'll be gravitating more toward the old-school glossy, glam hair this year.
03. A polished finish

How do you tap into the luxe-looking trend without a glossy blowout? Just get a professional blow-dry for a polished finish. The best part? You don't have to have a specific cut to pull off this finish. It's more of a finish than a full-on hairstyle.
04. Accessories

It's time to perfect our styles with accessories. This year, we're going to see hairbands, bows, barrettes, scarves, and clips bedeck our hair, and level up our glam quotient. Cannot wait!
05. One-dimensional colours

Bid adieu to balayage and ombré, and say hello to one-dimensional hair colours. According to projections, soft black, chocolate brown, and warm ginger are a few colours that are going to be dominating the hair-colour palette in 2022.
