The runways dictate out next style-du-jour, so it's no surprise that as fashion weeks internationally come to a close, we've got hairstyles that are fit for spring 2022. Apart from spring/summer 2022 beauty trends that we can't wait to experiment with, the shows have also given us some major hairstyle inspo that we're definitely taking cues from once the warmer months set in. From middle parts to slicked-back hair, the spring 2022 hair trends have a style for every mood, and ahead, we're listing 'em down. Take notes, and don't forget to try them come spring 2022.
1. Clip-crazy

Spring 2022 hair trends are all about hair accessories, and the first one on our list? Hair clips! No longer for tween-aged girls who needed to put their hair together for school; with the revival of Y2K beauty trends, it's safe to say that hair clips are certified cool, and we've got the looks from Tom Ford and Alice + Olivia to show for it.
2. Middle part mania

A debate that's divided Gen Z-ers and Millennials finally has a verdict — and it's team Gen Z. The runways have declared that the Gen Z-favourite middle part will remain supreme come spring 2022, thanks to the looks spotted at Alberta Ferretti, BOSS and Proenza Schouler.
3. Sleek and chic

Call it a nod to the '90s and early '00s, or claim it as the revival of the flat iron — but straight, sleek hair is back, and it's back with a vengeance. From models at the Sergio Hudson show walking with pin-straight and glossy locks, to Versace's straight hair, you can expect spring 2022 hair trends to be all about straight hair. Time to stock up on a good heat protectant!
4. Easy braids

2021 saw the rise of the braids. We had the bubble braid, the baby bubble braid, the box braids, the dutch braids *catches breath* and more. So, it comes as no surprise that spring 2022 hair trends consist of them too, from Altuzarra's face-framing baby bubble braids, to Studio 189's cute pigtails. We love to see it.
5. Scarves

Easily a huge spring 2022 favourite, wearing headscarves is never a bad idea, and the looks at Anna Sui, Dior, and 'Fendace' are proof! While the style has been around for a couple of years now, we're not exaggerating when we say we love this trend more and more each year. Can it just be spring already?!
