Big Volume
It may be 2022, but when it comes to big hair, we're taking our inspiration straight from the '80s—teased, larger-than-life looks as far as the eye can see. The easiest way to embrace big natural hair this year is to pump up the volume on all of your favorite styles.
Hairstyles in the 1980s included the mullet, tall mohawk hairstyles, jheri curls, flattops, and hi-top fades, which became popular styles. Amongst women, large hair-dos, puffed-up styles, permanent waves, and softer cuts typified the decade.
The difference was that the styling tools in the 80s were much less efficient then they are in 2019. Basically they used hand held blow dryers, which used to have very loud motors which made them ear splitting. They also used a lot of hot rollers with the u shaped metal hair clips.
In the early 1980s, Brooke Shields became a dominant force in the fashion trend after becoming a teen model in 1980. She has appeared in numerous magazine covers with different styles of long and big hair making her one of the most influential fashion icons of the early 1980s.
"As we move into 2023, we'll be seeing a bit more of a '70s resurgence," Fekkai says. If you're ready to get groovy with this cut ask your stylist for rounded bangs with rounded corners. "It's similar to a bob cut with the addition of subtle layers added to allow for movement to your hair," Fekkai notes.
Remember when our clients requested “expensive brunettes” for 2022? Fast forward—it's almost summer, so get prepared to brighten up those darker tones with shimmery strands. Copper tones, luxe brunettes, light browns, golden blondes and brondes are all on our trend radar.
Rich Chocolate
Rich is 2023's primary descriptor, and this goes double for brunettes. Those opting to stay in their brown-mane lane would do well to consider crossing fully into the dark side. Roszak recommends subtle, dimensional highlights—more for shine then anything else—and an overall deepening of the hue.
Made popular in the 1960s with the help of prominent figures like Jackie Kennedy and Mary Tyler Moore, the flip hairstyle was one that defined the decade.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, curly, teased bangs were in fashion, often held very big or high in place with copious amounts of hair spray. This style was called "mall bangs".
Loose waves are more younger-looking, while straight hair can be aging. Play around with face-framing layers to give your hair some softness and movement. Layers can also make your hair appear to be more luscious and healthy. Parra recommends asking your stylist for perimeter layers that are cut in a straight line.
Short haircuts are more on trend than ever for 2023 and the number of short hairstyles you can try are endless. If you're wondering which short hair trends are in style for 2023, you're in luck because I've rounded up fresh pics from today's hairstylists of the best short hairstyles and short haircuts.
Yes, the 2000s trend is back. Millennials are even being teased on TikTok for sticking to middle parts at this point. A side part is really flattering on features, and looks great with slicked-back styles and face-framing layers.
Bangs are big in 2022, and there are plenty of bang trends to choose from this year. Bangs are a great way to change up your look and can work for all hair types and face shapes. And, contrary to popular belief, bangs can actually be low maintenance!
Your Favorite '80s Hair Trend Is Back
But amid all the awkwardly bright eyeliner and wild mullets, there was one gem (teased hair!) that's on its way back in style. All over this year's runways, we saw models rocking some seriously voluminous hair.
Curl your hair into ringlets to mimic an 80s perm.
Wait for 3-4 seconds and release the curl. Move to the next 1 in (2.5 cm) section and repeat. Continue making tight ringlets all over your head. Give your hair a little tease and set it with hairspray.
Mötley Crüe is nothing less (and, in fact, a whole lot more) than the biggest, best, most outrageous, most unhinged, most extreme-in-every-sense over-the-top and off-with-their-tops living, rocking, wrecking embodiment of 1980s hair metal itself.
From the Fawcett Flip to curtain bangs, these retro styles are seeing a major revival. From Farrah Fawcett to Beverly Johnson to Cher, the 1970s was the golden age of glam, exuberance, and of course, hair.
For both genders, big hair became popular in the 1980s. The term is also used in the glam, hair metal, goth and alternative cultures and is particularly associated with fashion of the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, or inspired by the period.
