2022 hair novelty: hair frosting
In beauty, there are two types of profiles: women who have already let themselves be tempted by numerous and varied colors and those who prefer the natural, but who bring light into their hair while following trends year after year. Whatever the group to which you belong, know that for some years the hairstyle trend is no longer full colors, but rather partial colorations. Shading, gradients, as well as wicks and sweeping always have the wind in their sails but are somewhat updated. In 2022, a hair novelty is appearing: hair frosting. Get to know this technique by reading this article!
Discover hair frosting
In the '90s, frosted tips was the trend to wear absolutely. As fashion is an eternal new beginning, the hair frosting is inspired by this technique, but has been modified to be more in tune with the times. Over the years, hair trends have become increasingly discreet and subtle. In 2022, women who adopt hair frosting will be perfectly in the trend, while being elegant and original.
To better understand this trend, “hair frosting” literally means “frosting/frosting of the hair”. Nothing to do with the cold, don’t worry! To adopt this technique, simply perform a sweep by bleaching each strand in order to bring light to the whole hair. What’s the difference with classic highlights? Know that the hair frosting is supposed to give a more melted and subtle result than a usual sweep. We will now see the notable differences between these two methods.
Notable differences between hair frosting and scanning
You will have understood that hair frosting and sweeping are based on the same technique, and therefore the same base of work. The barber will use a soft wick cap and pull each of your strands through the hole designed for this purpose using a hook. Your strands will then be discoloured with a brush from the root to the tip. Then let the bleach act so that the highlights are very marked relative to your hair base.
The hair frosting is therefore a very light blond/white, almost polar. But the wicks are much finer than in a conventional sweep. The goal is to obtain an ultra-natural result. It is often the brown or brown women who want to lighten their hair and opt for this technique. The contrast is then very pronounced: the technique lies in melting the light strands in a dark hair. It is a blond fleece sweep on a brown base, but much better worked so as not to have a transition effect between the two tones.
As the strands are very thin, the hair frosting gives this icy effect like a very trendy pepper and salt mane right now. But it is quite possible to achieve the same technique with a wider cap or hole in order to create larger size strands and give an original zebra effect to the hair. This effect will be accentuated by the wearing of braids, as we have seen on some TV or song celebrities.
The result is less faded and therefore less elegant, but may match the most original of us. The advantage of this technique and that one can find an option that fits perfectly with our personal style. It’s up to you to think about how you look the most and what you occasionally want. On short, mid-long or long hair, anything is possible with hair frosting!
What are the possible shades with hair frosting?
The revisited frosted wicks are possible to make with different shades and pigments. Once the discoloration is done, it is possible to patinate the hair in order to obtain a gradient of shades less clear with its natural color. This will allow for example to warm your hair style in winter by displaying chocolate or golden highlights. Pastel and coloured shades have been very trendy for a few months and are particularly appealing to young girls. It is then possible to make your hair frosting unique by coloring the highlights in pink, purple, green or blue if desired.
For those who want to go step by step, it is also possible to opt for this technique only around the face in order to reproduce the trend of hair contouring which is also a sensation in 2022. As for the hairstyle to adopt, the hair frosting will be sublimated by a wavy more or less pronounced or by a smoothing worked liquid hair style. It is thus perfectly suitable for all women, whatever their age and style. The hair frosting is thus about to dethrone the classic sweep during this year 2022. It remains to be seen whether it will continue over time, seasons and trends. But whatever the case may be, we don’t know: to hold on, the hair frosting will have to undergo some modifications and updating in the coming months. The goal is to bring together as many women as possible and for as long as possible!
Now you know all about this 2022 hair novelty called hair frosting. Each year, a trendy coloration is awarded for its success. Let’s wait a few months to see if this technique persists and wins the great discoloration prize of the year 2022! In the meantime, hairdressers will have to deal with clients' requests and adaptations of the different techniques between classic and new.
