   The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022
   
   
   THE COZIEST WINTER NAIL COLORS FOR JANUARY 2022
   
   The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh
   by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most
   commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going
   into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy
   winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little
   courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie
   Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From
   new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll
   have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to
   try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

   16 KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS SOUTHERN DESIGNERS PREDICT WILL BE EVERYWHERE IN
   2022
   
   There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including
   how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating
   the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics
   and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized
   spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box
   stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain
   issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room
   in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the
   South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022
   and beyond.

hair colors for women over 50

Credit: @chrisjones_hair

Try as we might, we can't outrun time—and that's okay. What we can do, however,
is even the playing field with an arsenal of tricks to age gracefully. We apply
those retinol serums and hyaluronic acid creams and we depuff until there's no
other product left to use. But one of the biggest mistakes we can make as we get
older is neglecting something else entirely: our hair. Don't worry: There are
products for that, too. No amount anti-aging skin-care sorcery is going to
deliver if we're aging ourselves with dull blondes or harshly darkened strands.
By adding warmth and softness back into your locks and always choosing your most
flattering color, you're able to make your hair work for you—and even take some
years off your face instantly. That youthful glow is just a few strokes of hair
color away.

We'd never say to stray from whichever cut and color is calling your name, but
we reckon these particularly timeless shades were pulled straight from the
fountain of youth. Read on to discover the best hair color for women over 50,
and get ready to feel fresher, brighter, and even more fabulously like
yourself.

Dirty Blonde

If Jennifer Aniston can rock this beachy blonde hue after she turns 50 (and we
all know she does), that's the only proof we need. The shade, a brown-blonde
with flecks of gold, is warm and bright, which will bring out those same
qualities in the face.

DARK MOCHA

Fringed Medium Cut

Take a deep dive into dark chocolate. For olive and tan skin tones, rich mocha
brown breathes major life back into hair strands. The richness of the color,
especially when some subtle touches of caramel are added to the ends, makes a
statement.

Go bold or go home? This bright shade brings out those baby blues something
fierce, and the trendy asymmetrical cut makes it even cooler.

CHAMPAGNE BLONDE

Champagne Blonde

Credit: @chrisgreenehair

This color is smooth as butter and not your basic platinum. The warmer,
yellow-based blonde conjures up the Goldilocks-inspired tones in your natural
hair for a brighter complexion overall. Aging causes us to lose fullness and fat
in our facial features, but this hue adds that softness right back in.

SUN-KISSED STRANDS

Sun-Kissed Strands

Blondes don't have all the fun. Enhance your rich chocolate brown with golden
strokes that hit just where the sun would lighten your hair as a child. Framing
the face will pull attention away from any complexion concerns.

Forget the full root-to-tip highlights and instead embrace a more
multi-dimensional look by asking for lighter, brighter "money pieces," which are
the front strands of hair that frame your face.

You might think that this trendy hair color technique belongs to the youngsters,
but it can actually give a healthy youthful glow when framing the face and
lightening the ends in a super subtle fashion. Ask for a shade just one lighter
than your base.

HIGHLIGHT AND LOWLIGHT GINGER

What hair color could take you back to your childhood better than this girlish
ginger red? Not to mention, it will cure any dullness you're feeling with your
usual hair color. Be sure to ask your stylist which red shade will flatter your
skin tone best.

Somewhere right between warm and cool, this neutral blonde melts into your
complexion for a more effortless look compared to going fully bright blonde.
This client originally sported brown-black strands, and this shade freshened up
her entire complexion.

TOFFEE BABYLIGHTS

Toffee Babylights

Slightly more tawny than typical caramel, toffee will add so much dimension to
warm brown hair and warmer skin tones. The result? An almost metallic-looking
finish that feels low maintenance.

PLATINUM BLONDE WITH LOWLIGHTS

If your natural hair color veers more into cool tones, ask for accompanying cool
blonde around the face and towards the ends to give some complexity without
creating major upkeep.

HONEY BLONDE

Honey Blonde

Credit: @chrisgreenehair

We think of Julia Roberts as the ultimate muse for giving brown hair some honey
blonde lovin'. As we mature, our skin and hair might lose some of its natural
radiance. Get it back with golden honey balayage highlights that give your
complexion a jolt of sunlight and your hair more shine and dimension.
