    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Spring is all about new beginnings, which means there's no better time to breathe fresh life into your hair with a trendy new haircut. If you've been too holed up all winter to head into the salon, a chop might be in order. For that, we're seeing all sorts of ultra-flattering lengths that graze those collarbones, hit those shoulders, or frame that chin in just the right way. Let's not forget that a little color refresh could also be in order, and we're more than ready to show the world the lightened version of ourselves with a new spring hair color. From there, you can add bangs, layers, or deep side parts until your heart's content. Everything from tousled texture to super straight sleekness is on the docket, and we're ready to enter the season with fresh spring hair styles on our heads. Here are 30 pretty spring haircuts to freshen up your look in 2022.

Textured Collarbone Cut

If you want to add major curb appeal to your look, go with a collarbone cut, no question. It's ultra-flattering and works well with layers and texture.

This isn't your typical chin bob. Short, choppy layers help create crazy-flattering shape and volume, while curtain bangs are the ultimate finishing touch.

Long Layers

When you're working with tousled texture and flattering multi-dimensional hair color, there's no need to go crazy with your cut. The layers will do the talking. Keep your layers long to ensure there's volume and movement to make the most of your mane.

Girly Shag

You get all the bangs and layers of a classic rocker shag without the heavy eyeliner and torn band tee. Ask for slightly wispy fringe to make it more wearable.

You don't need to sacrifice any styling potential if you leave one half of your hair longer when opting for a short crop cut.

Something as simple as changing up your hair's usual part can make your length and style look totally fresh. Experiment with a super deep side part and tousled texture for an instant refresh.

If you're not feeling bold enough to get a big chop on all of your hair, go for a set of mini fringe that will highlight your brow and cheekbones.

Face-Framing Shoulder Cut

This might be the most flattering length to come out of the salon.  Keep it largely layerless to make the most of your thickness, and let the face-framing pieces hit all the good spots: temples, cheekbones, jawline, and collarbone.

Longer Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs add beautiful framing and volume around your face. If you ask your stylist for direction on what style could best suit your face, trust them! Stylists are trained to know what will look best on different face shapes and they can offer suggestions that reach the best outcome for your style, Kali Larson, a Tampa Bay, Florida, stylist, says.

Subtle A-Line Length

The blunt lob just got a texture-friendly update that feigns extra volume, thanks to a slightly shortened backside that lets longer pieces in the front frame the face.

Cascading Curls

We love the look of loose beach waves. Subtle face framing in the front and soft layers make for buildable volume while keeping your hair long.

Wispy Curls

Curly Bangs

Curly bangs instantly make every curl type look too cool for school, which is very much the move for spring. Ask for low-maintenance, piecey bangs to keep styling easy.

Flipped Bob

This is another throwback cut that has us all in. Everything about it, from the collarbone-grazing length to the flipped-under ends to the straight, ultra-sleek styling, could convince us to make a pre-spring chop.

Side Bangs

Sideswept Lob

If you want to update your lob for spring, try on a pair of side bangs for size. They're not near as committal as full-on bangs, and they're flattering for all ages.

Frenchie Bangs

French Bangs

If you're looking for that je ne sais quoi, these bangs are a no-brainer. You want something that's not too blunt, but not too wispy.

This cut may look intimidating but what the French bob lacks in length, it makes up for in volume and sheer, effortless style.

Another reason to go short in 2022? No more worrying about how much time is spent on styling—and this no-fuss bob agrees.
