By Brittany Johnson, licensed hairstylist & senior content manager for Mayvenn

2022 brings fresh perspectives, newfound hopefulness, and style trends that make what was once a throwback-inspired look, new again! From dressing up the versatility of protective styles to easy DIY options, check out top wigs and extensions looks that are showing no signs of slowing down in the new year.

Trend 1 – Versatile Human Hair Clip-Ins (Before & After)

Product Pick: Mayvenn 20” 220G 1B Soft Black Yaki Straight Clip-Ins

One of the major benefits of human hair clip-ins is that you can style and customize them to bring a ton of versatility to your natural hair. These Yaki Straight Clip-Ins can truly do it all! Clip-Ins are extremely easy to DIY at home, and can even be styled before they’re installed. Wear them naturally smooth for a pressed-out look or wand curl and set them to turn up the texture, like in this transformation.

Trend 2 – The Evolution of Ponytails

Ponytails have been around for decades, whether it’s the original drawstring version or a sleek style created from your favorite bundle set. To recreate this luxurious Body Wave look, use our Brazilian Body Wave bundles in 28” and attach the bundles to your natural hair after it’s been slicked and styled back. Play up your hairline as much as you’d like, add an accessory or two, and you’re good to go!

Trend 3 – Naturally-Inspired Protective Styles

Product Pick: Mayvenn Peruvian Kinky Straight 22” , 22” , 22” (as seen on @medinaimani_)

The beauty of natural hair continues to reign supreme, and protective styles that enhance it are more popular than ever. Recreate this look by using Kinky Straight bundles that blend seamlessly with the texture of a natural blowout. This leave-out install style is low on maintenance but high on impact.

Trend 4 – Accessorized Headband Wigs

Product Pick: Mayvenn 30” Straight Headband Wig

This isn’t your old school headband wig! Use fun accessories to play up your headband and dress it up or down. Use beads and gems for holiday parties like this Straight look, or throw on one of our five complimentary headbands in your favorite neutral hues for an everyday grab and go.

Trend 5 – The Classic Middle-Part

Product Pick: Mayvenn Brazilian Straight 16”, 18”, 20” (as seen on @andria.daily)

Middle parts are timeless and complement a variety of face shapes and hair types. Tucking a middle part style behind your ears not only shows off your beautiful features, it also limits the amount of necessary styling time! Recreate this classic look with Straight bundles in one of the most popular length combinations: 16”, 18”, 20”.

Trend 6 – Up Close & Personal with HD Wigs

Product Pick: Mayvenn Loose Wave 4×4 HD Lace Closure Wig in 22” (as seen on @lachelleofficial)

Transparency is great for relationships, but even better for hairlines. HD Lace wigs come complete with thinner lace material, meaning that it’s easier to blend your hairline and create a completely customized look. Play up Loose Wave’s texture with your stylist or at home by creating beachy waves with a big barrel curling iron or wand. Don’t forget the heat protectant!
