This was arguably the most popular hairstyle spotted on celebs this year. Perhaps due to its simplicity, versatility, and protective nature. We often spotted this hairstyle on celebs aiming for a relaxed look and something familiar to cozy up with. This year, vocal powerhouse Alica Keys scored a major moment with this one by gracing her cornrows with embellishments.

From Birkin bangs to braided ones, it was normal to see celebrities adopt the big bang hair trend every day. Bangs have their place on the top celebrity hair trends because they command a unique flair and also suit any face shape. If you’re looking to switch up your look for something that’s both sultry and edgy, bangs are the best bet.

Blacks, brunettes, and blondes have always been mainstays, but this year, celebs dared to go with a pop. We can attest that it’s a color-crazy season, and cool celebs are going hard with bold hair colors, while some are infusing touches of vivid hues into the darker shades. Certainly, no color is off-limits.

The Bailey sisters, Chloe and Halle, had locs on lockdown and have done so for years now. The versatility of this hairdo makes it easy to style whichever way you choose. Whether you pile them into a knot as an updo or let them fall free, locs remain a winning look for a girl with some sauce.

This minimal hairstyle can be dressed up or down for any occasion. They’re the best gym ally that can also effortlessly rock the red carpet. Plus, every face shape and hair texture has a ponytail style to complement it. There’s no reason you shouldn’t add it to your to-do list.

Most girls have experienced the two-toned magic and know first-hand what it does for your confidence. Two-toned hair went from a trend to a lifestyle, little wonder the celebs are stylishly on board. The sharp color contrast makes it hard to miss, and it’s little wonder why they are one of 2022’s hottest celebrity hair trends.

The bone-straight hair had everyone in a chokehold this year, and celebrities weren’t left out of the craze. The shiny texture and imposing strands have luxury smothered all over the hair. This hairstyle is a great option for ladies with oval and heart-shaped faces.

Razor-sharp cuts of the 90s usually feature asymmetric ends and layers. Like every trend that has made its way back, hairstylists manage to put a modern touch on the nostalgic hairstyle. Whether you opt for sharp pixies or shoulder-grazing styles, you’ll find a style great for you and your face shape. The 90s are back baby, and we’re loving it!

Rather than putting together a regular updo, elevate the style with braids for a trendy touch. If all the updo isn’t braided, it would need strategic combing and decent amounts of products to keep it in place.

A post shared by Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapinkettsmith)

While not all of these celebs went completely bald, the hair is still low enough to feel and almost see the scalp. This no-hair style is ironically one of the celebrity hair trends popping off. Imagine being able to shower with water caressing your scalp and still maintaining beauty. Bliss!

This is one of the maximalist 90s trends celebrities continuously have the hots for. The more the hair clip, the bolder the statement.
