Halloween might be over, but the holiday celebrations have yet to peak and along with the festive mood of the season, there's a new hair trend that's taking over the internet. Women are posting photos of their hair with glitter and it's not just a sprinkle of sparkle - the glitter is artistically laid on the hair roots.
Called "glitter roots," the style was recently spotted on "Pretty Little Liars" actress Lucy Hale's Instagram account, according to Hello Giggles. But while the actress' photo was not of herself, it was enough to have others following the stylish trend.
The hairstyle is easy to do, according to Seventeen. Simply mix your choice of glitter with any hair gel and style away.
"The glitter hair roots trend is something I've seen emerging for a couple years now and I think it's super cute and edgy when done right," said hair stylist Karen Wiggins via Today. She suggested using an old foundation brush to work the glitter properly on to the hair.
The look works to hide roots when the hair dye is growing out and it's best presented with a funky hairstyle like buns or pigtails, according to Pop Sugar. However, there are some drawbacks to having glittery roots as glitter is hard to remove, even with one or two shampoos. It could also get on your clothes and pillows.
"The fad is fun and has its purpose, but don't expect to walk into a morning business meeting and be taken seriously," said celebrity stylist Julia Dalton-Brush in the Today report.
