Synthetic wig trends for 2022

If you’re getting ready to wig it out, here is a forecast of the lengths, cuts and colours making a splash this year.

We often think of trends as phases that come and go, lingering only for a few moments before we move onto something new. However, the year is 2022, and if you find something that sticks – then stick with it!

When it comes to choosing a wig, many of us see it as an important investment that helps us express our personal style and protect our natural locks. If you’re having trouble picking the right one (who can blame you, there are so many options in today’s world!) here are the latest trends in the realm of synthetic wigs to help you decide.

Shear Muse Shayna

Dark roots

Heavily contrasted roots were all the rage during lockdown – perhaps involuntarily, as many of us couldn’t bear to bleach our own hair while the salons were closed. However, the wig world has followed suit, transforming the trend into something very deliberate and chic. Shear Muse Shayna is the perfect style for this look.

Instant Fashion Wig Cara
Instant Fashion Wig Cara, £14.99

Sculpted pixie

A slightly lengthier take on the well-trodden pixie cut, this style is sculpted around the wearer’s features to create a face-framing effect. Bonus points for the deep burgundy shade – it’s a modern take on Kelly Rowland’s iconic ‘Dilemma’ music video styling. Nail the look with the Instant Fashion Wig Cara.

Big Beautiful Hair Lace Front 3C Whirly Wig

Big curls

Whether you’re transitioning on your natural hair journey, or you just need some volume in your life, curly hair wigs can really elavate your hair look. The Big Beautiful Hair range is ideal for curly girls who want more choice when it comes to curl patterns. Want a looser pattern with just as much volume as a 4c hairdo? Try the Lace Front 3C Whirly Wig.
