It was the gorgeous Leona Lewis' appearance on Sundays final of the X Factor which drew my attention to this current hair trend. It seems that glitter is the new chalk. I'm in love with this trend, I love how it is girly yet so fun and outrageous. This trend spiralled from the idea of covering up those dreaded roots, as girls began to paint their partings with glitter. The trend has now escalated and we are beginning to see many more glitter/shiny based hairstyles such as glitter streaks, full metallic scalps, glitter dip dye and even hair tattoos! I feel that over the festive period this trend will continue to grow more and more popular, glittery hair has to be the ultimate Christmas hairstyle if ever there was one right? Definitely something I plan to try out for my work Christmas party, after all if you can't get away with glittery hair at a Christmas party, when can you get away with it?

Leona Isn't alone, there has been a whole host of celebrities who have sported the moonshine hair trend in some form or another including Beyoncé, Rita Ora, Miley Cyrus (an absolute sucker for this trend) and Kylie Jenner. I really like Kylie's adaptation of this trend, she opted for a gold hair tattoo. The hair tattoo, possibly a lovechild produced from the glitter hair trend and the metallic tattoo trend perhaps, has become a trend in itself. Which could be partially down to a certain hair Queen posting the below picture on her Instagram account.

I couldn't decide on just a few images of the moonshine hair trend to show you, so I thought I would share some of my favourite examples below! One thing that's really great about this trend is that it doesn't rule out brunettes! So many hair trends we've seen in the past have only catered for myself and my fellow blondes such as hair chalk and coloured hair spray. However this trend suits darker hair as well as working for blondes, particularly the hair tattoo, dark hair really makes them pop. My favourite interpretations of the moonshine hair trend have to be the messy, imperfect ones rather than the defined streak of glitter down the parting (in my opinion this has been overdone now). I really like the metallic scalp look which features within the below collage (far right, one from the bottom), however I do feel that this adaptation will probably be one that doesn't translate so well from the catwalk. Where glittery roots are quite easy to produce and relatively wearable (kind of) a metallic golden scalp maybe a little over the top for your average day.

This trend has not only featured on our Instagram feeds but also the catwalk. Ashish has brought the moonshine hair trend to the runway on two occasions, firstly for their S/S15 RTW collection and also their S/S16 RTW collection. Although both catwalks have featured this hair trend, it was executed very differently in each. The 2015 collection was much more metallic strand based and the 2016 collection was predominantly sequin based. Below are images from the Ashish S/S16 RTW collection. The use of the moonshine hair trend within this collection suggests that it will stick around for a while, so is likely to be a trend we will see a lot over over next Summers festival season.
