The Biggest Hair Trends For Spring 2022

The first place we turn to for hair inspiration is almost always the runways, where some of the world's most talented hairstylists create looks we inevitably end up wearing the following season.

Oh, and if you've been battling the middle part comeback, it may be time to give in, as it reigned supreme at more than a few shows. Keep reading for all the other trends that are poised to take over spring 2022.
