Over the past 2 years, we’ve seen a rise of boho-inspired faux locs and the timeless ponytail in different style variations. What we cannot deny is their versatility and ability to elevate a look.

If you think about it and take a retrospective look over the past two years, you’ll realize that that you’ve seen them on every red carpet and all-over social media with different people experimenting with them in all their glory, and every time we see them, they’ve elevated to brand new heights.

What makes them even more desirable is the fact that they are protective styles as they preserve one’s hair and protect from heat damage and harsh products like relaxers etc.

We’ve seen an assortment of ponytails from braided, fringe buns, half ponies, and Kim Kardashians floor-length 2021 Met Gala pony.

Faux locs have also dominated, with different length variations. The addition of curls, butterfly extensions paired with texture have been all over social media and exceptionally desirable.

However, 2022 will see the inclusion of jewels in these hairstyles for an elevated celestial look that transcends beauty and hair standards.

The incorporation of jewels and gems will bring new life to already existing styles but will update them. From bedazzled headbands, jewel crowns, individually applied rhinestones bedazzled and worded hair clips.
