5 Styles You Should Try Out This Spring!


Are you feeling tired of that same old hairstyle you probably had since who knows how long? Whether it’s been a couple of months or years, you are probably looking for a change. You have grown a lot, and your hair has too, which is probably why you feel now is the time to express yourself in a whole new way. Have no idea where to start? Moler Beauty Academy is all about keeping up with the trends, so that our students can keep up with the latest styles to feel more confident in their beauty industry education. Read more to find out the 5 styles you should try out this spring! 

A 70’s Comeback

Spring may be the season of the Pisces, but it’s also the season of the octopus. Well, when we say octopus, we really mean the octopus haircut. In 2021, we were all about those trendy mullets and shag haircuts, but this year with spring approaching we are seeing more of the octopus cut. The 70’s are back, which means choppy layers and a lot more texture are in! If you are all about that 70’s trend and looking for a funky fresh style that will make your friends say “groovy baby,” then we have the perfect styles for you.

The Trendy Octopus 

With a more top-heavy style and choppy, visible layers spread out to the bottom, almost looking like octopus tentacles, that is how this take on the shag got its quirky name. We know you have most likely seen this trendy style all over TikTok and are probably feeling bold enough to try it out yourself!

Business in the Front, Party in the Back

Have you always wondered what that ‘business in the front, party in the back’ style could look like for you? We know it’s a bold new look, but so many people are experimenting with a variety of different versions. We have a few you may want to look into when finding the right style for you: 

The Mixie – Think mullet and pixie had a baby. A mixie is cut to be longer in the back, like a mullet with a shorter front, like a pixie. The length of the style is no longer than your shoulders and typically involves bangs to meet with your temple.

Shullet – Also known as the “wolf cut” on TikTok, shag meets mullet with this funky do. This is the perfect style for finer hair types, as it is known for adding a whole lot of texture to your hair. 

Curly Mullet – With mullets and natural hairstyles going strong this year, your naturally curly hair will fit in perfectly with this year’s 70’s trend. A curly version of the mullet will make your style stand out even more!

Bold Bob 

The bob is always there to make a statement. This cut has become one of the more popular spring looks with its professional and easy to maintain hairstyle. This feminine look is expected to appear more this year with more textured versions and creative styles.

  • Keeping It All Natural

With the 70’s trend on the rise, embracing your natural color, curls, and waves is what this trend is all about. The past few years, you have probably seen a variety of bold colors, but in 2022 we are seeing a variety of styles meant to enhance your natural beauty.

Natural Color 

Lately, we see so many celebrities going back to their roots. This year means we will be seeing a lot more auburn, icy blonde, and midnight brunette. If you fall in the category of a natural blonde, brunette, or redhead, now is the time to enhance those colors with highlights and ombre styles. Winter time was always the most popular time to go darker, but this spring we are seeing a variety of brunette shades more than ever!

If you are looking for a bolder color this spring, vivid highlights of pinks, blues, or reds may be more for you. Hot pink and copper are this year’s trending colors that you may want to look into as well. Still stuck on a hair color? Take our hair color quiz, to help you decide which color to attempt this spring!

Embrace Those Curls

The laid back look is a huge popularity these days, and those with wavy and curly hair are probably looking forward to avoiding heat to do the job. Let your hair be free! With the 70’s style trending, we are seeing more of the ‘3D curls’. This natural style looks best with shine or gloss. Keep your curls soft and hydrated with your favorite hair products!

  • Go Out With Some Bangs

We have seen bangs throughout the years, and now we are seeing more styles of curtain bangs, wispy bangs, and bold fringe styles taking over TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. If you are new to the bang look, we highly recommend wispy bangs as a less blunt style and more natural approach. This hairstyle is great for lengthening the face and great for those with thinner hair.

  • Layers, Layers, and More Layers

This year you can’t go wrong with having too many layers! With the popularity of shags and mullets, experimenting with different layers can be something fun to try. Layered hair can also give your hair a lot more volume. If you are looking to stand out, try textured layers. Textured layers look great in short or long hair, making it easier to maintain. If you are looking to add more layers to your life, Moler Beauty Academy offers numerous services on a walk-in basis. All services provided by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.

  • A Glossy Finish

The shiny look seems to never go out of style, as it makes your hair appear healthier and more classy. This is a big reason why so many are going with the more natural look, to prevent damage from dying hair and using heat. Taking care of your hair is the best approach for maintaining that healthy, glossy look.
