These face-framing braids give a '70s and '90s throwback vibe & the best part is, that they can be done with any hair texture and length – whether your hair is blonde or brunette, short or long, straight, wavy or curly. With celebs like Bella Hadid, Margot Robbie, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Beiber and more flaunting these braided tendrils, baby braids are all set to remain one of the hottest hair trends of 2022.

7. The Farrah Fawcett Look
Nothing screams '70s more than some bouncy Farrah Fawcett curls.

To get the lush voluminous curls, you can either go for a curling wand like the INH Insert XL Curls Here Oval Wand or hot rollers.
Don't forget to apply a heat protectant before using any hot tools on your hair!

8. Bathrobe Curls
Bathrobe curls have become viral on TikTok as the most popular heatless curling technique. If you're in a time crunch and searching for a lazy way to get curls, bathrobe curls can be your savior! Plus, no hot tools are involved, so no worrying about hair damage. Just use your bathrobe belt to wrap small sections of hair. Set them aside for a few hours, then remove the belt. Voila, your loose wavy, or full bouncy curls are ready!
Pro tip: Make sure your hair is damp before wrapping it up. This will result in a better curl definition (you can thank us later).
