    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.

Blunt Collarbone Cut
Credit: @hairby_chrissy⁠⠀

If last year focused on embracing natural texture and no-fuss hairstyles for obvious reasons—movie nights on the couch were quite the Friday night highlight!—2022 is gearing up to be all that and a little something extra. Ringing in a new year calls for fresh starts of all kinds, making it the perfect time for new hair trends to guide us straight to the salon.

We're taking last year's low-maintenance styling up a notch with statement-making cuts that do all the work and call back to decades past—only the fashionable ones, of course. If you've been wanting to make a chop, there are shaggy layers, blunt fringe, and retro styles just waiting to be shorn. (We're talking modern updates on vintage bobs, bangs, and long cuts, too.)

Here are the trendy haircuts you'll be seeing everywhere this year.

Textured Layers

You can add so much more texture to naturally fine hair using layers, layers, and more layers—focusing midway down the hair to the ends ensures you don't lose too much volume.

Short and Wild Shag

Nothing flatters a head full of curls like a classic shag. It's definitely the cool girl cut of the bunch.

Blunt Collarbone Cut

A lob that hits right at your collarbone is *the* most flattering length. Full stop. That's all we need to say on the matter.

We're taking things back to the Old Hollywood bobs of yesteryear—which means soft ends, flattering curves, and a deep side part.

Instantly make your hair look thicker by leaving the ends blunt and putting textured bend into the body. This one's a keeper.

Wispy Bangs

In case you got distracted by the show-stopping ginger hair color, this cut deserves just as much attention. Curls love a bunch of layering to add to their natural bounce, and wispy bangs refresh absolutely any haircut or length.

Curtain Bangs

Perhaps our favorite trend that's been gaining steam, curtain bangs look super stylish and a little bit retro all at the same time.

The soft, feathered, and fluffy looks of the 1970s are not to be forgotten. This modern long cut gives a nod to the long-haired babes of decades past.

Give your haircut an edgy dose of cool with choppy layers and bangs. It makes a plain lob look so last year.

We wish we could speak our minds as bluntly as these ends. Keeping a cut free from too much layering ensures a super thick bob with tons of style.

Textured Lob

Keeping your haircut mainly one-length (read: not too many layers!) will always make it look enviously thick. This lob cut is roll-out-of-bed ready to go at all times.

This is the definition of letting your hair color do the work. Easy layers and a versatile length mean that you won't be labored down with styling time.

This low-maintenance cut is slightly longer in the front than the back, which elongates and flatters oval and round face shapes to no end.

Fringed Short Curls

Layers can give so much life to curls, and that especially goes for short cuts. Add lots of layers and a voluminous set of bangs, and you're set to steal envious looks everywhere you go.

You thought you'd seen the last of this early-to-mid 2000s cut, hm? When everyone else is going short, why not go long?

This length is not to be ignored. It's short enough to really snatch onto major volume and long enough to make a statement.

Grown-Out Crop

Grown-Out Crop

This might be the most elegant crop cut we've seen all year. Side-swept bangs and flattering layers keep it wearable and long.

Curly girls are taught to be afraid of ending up with a triangle cut (also known as the pyramid cut), but this modern version is changing the tune.

Mini Blunt Bob

Just because you go blunt, it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice texture. This mini bob that grazes the chin has the best of both worlds.

Angled Long Bob

Angles are a great way to refresh any length, especially short cuts that fall above the collarbones. Ask for an A-line cut that's longer in the front, but not stacked in the back.

Flippy Layers

Flippy layers have a nostalgic, early-2000s feel — but that's not the only reason to order them up at the salon. They also make it easier to mock the look of a fresh, bouncy blowout.

Shaggy Shoulder Cut

Give that classic shoulder cut an edgy finish by asking for shag-inspired layers and curtain bangs. It's ideal for those who want extra volume and texture.
