Like every new year, 2022 came with a whole new energy. For many this meant revamping their attitudes, way of life and even playing around with their personal styles. As expected, a specific area we viewed these changes in was our hair!
With all the new styles and ideas trending online, individuals wasted no time trying out what so many were raving about. From micro links to tape-ins, the internet has been going nuts, but there are also a handful of other trending styles that you may have missed.
Thankfully hair extension guru Tamika Gibson offered her expertise to Black Beauty & Hair and gave a little bit of insight on what’s happening in the world of hair so that you can stay in the loop and keep a fresh do!
The top trend in weaves right now are tape ins, micro-links, lace wigs and quick weaves. These trending styles are versatile weaves that can be pulled into high ponytails or half-up half-down styles.
People are going towards more glueless methods if they are wearing it to keep up with a trend. Hair loss wig wearers are still wearing glue methods.
Social media pushes a trend very quickly so the lifetime of a trend is short lived, due to the fact that we can all see the trend worldwide at the same time in REAL TIME. So, people are ready for what’s next almost immediately. Style is usually brought back around with a little twist.
Tape-ins are really trending right now. It’s not a new technique but it is new to so many people. When people see things they have never seen before they are very open to the new experience. Since Covid good quality materials are hard to find, some people are showing a lot of revamping of old wigs. Revamping is great (and sustainable) and with the proper care a wig can last three to five years with no problem.
