‘Galaxy Hair’ Trend is Bringing the Cosmic Beauty of the Universe to Hair

galaxy hair

We've seen our fair share of colorful hair styles gaining popularity this year, but the year's not over and it turns out there's still time for new trends to arise. The latest one? Galaxy Hair (aka Space Hair).

It's been a big year for science, particularly space travel, planetary discoveries, and astronomy in general, so it only makes sense that fashion forward experimentalists are taking an astronomically colorful approach to dyeing their hair. Taking inspiration from the cosmos, people are dyeing their hair to mimic the vibrant beauty of the vast universe–including nebulas, the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), and many more intergalactic phenomena.

This style, like past hair trends, isn't exclusively for females either. Men are joining in, dyeing their manes stellar shades of blues, purples, and greens. Check out some of the best renditions of our solar system in the strands of human hair we've come across. For more, you can check out the trending hashtags #galaxyhair and #spacehair.

Using vibrant hair coloring, people are wearing galaxy hair. Would you try this?/h2>
