'Hair Contouring' and Other Trends That Are Going to Be Huge In 2022

New year, new you...new hair? Well, maybe, that is, if you just had a little bit of inspiration to figure out exactly what to do with your ho-hum locks. Spicing your look up for this year is easier than you think though, and that’s because so many of the biggest hair trends coming out of salons, debuting on the runways, and being spotted on your favorite celebrities and influencers are decidedly mellow, fairly low-maintenance, and all about working with—rather than against—your natural color and texture.

Of course, there’s a little boldness and drama to be had for those who want it (glassy hair and wavy tendrils, I'm looking at you!) and plenty of throwback ideas from iconic hairstyles that defined the late ‘90s and 2000s (hello, Jennifer Aniston).

Four different hair pros weighed in on the hottest color, cut, and styling trends out there right now. They also revealed a few of their hero products for achieving some of these looks at home and spilled the tea on exactly what you should ask your stylist for if you want to be ahead of the curve when it comes to your hair.
