10 Gorgeous Hair Color Trends for 2022

With the pandemic stressing everyone out, a hair color switch-up is exactly the change you need. 2022 is all about the low maintenance and undone look — get those roots ready now, so that when everything goes back to normal, you can wow your friends and family with your new, fabulous looks. Here are the hottest hair color trends for 2022.

1. Face Framing Streaks or “Money Piece”

This is a great look if you don’t want to commit to a full-headed dye job, or want to experiment with a bright and daring color. It’s essentially a pop of highlights that start at the part line in the front. Consider a two-toned streak like Bella Hadid tried out with her reddish-orange streaks. 90s colors are making a comeback with this look! It’s trendy and low maintenance, and allows you to integrate a new look more seamlessly.

2. Brown Balayage

Are you a brunette but feel like your color is falling a little flat recently? Consider brown balayage, which adds plenty of sun-kissed dimension but isn’t too drastic of a decision. Ask your colorist (or do your research) about varying shades of brown strategically placed throughout your strands.

3. Winterizing

What exactly is winterizing? It’s not a single color. Instead, it’s a subtle tweak to your current shades with an extra sense of va-va-voom. We’re talking a richer, warmer and more dimensional version of your 2020 look. This might mean ribbons of deeper blond or brain shades, or adding a gloss to make color look richer. For both blondes and brunettes, gold and amber tones are perfect to play with.

4. Almond edges

Perfect for ushering in warm weather, soft nut tones with a warm essence are going to be all over the place in spring and summer this year. From cashews to walnuts and almonds, these mild tones can be integrated into brown and blond hair, turning intense and deep shades into lighter, more gentle tones.
