This beauty trend took over the internet showing ladies curling their hair with water bottles. To do the trick, cut a hole is the bottle and feed a strand of hair through. Point a blow dryer into the bottle and pull the strand out to reveal a perfect curl.
Or at least, that’s what it’s supposed to do. Unfortunately, not everyone got those results, which is perhaps why the trend went viral.
9. Fishtail Brows

This brow trend swept across social media after one user decided to use photoshop to turn the first part of her brow upside down. Soon after, many beauty bloggers figured out how to do it IRL, and thus fishtail brows became a thing. By employing brow filler and concealer, these bloggers were able to turn themselves into mermaids.
8. Halo Brows

Speaking of weird brows, check out this trend called “Halo Brows” . Started by the same girl who did Fishtail brows, halo brows are just as weird. Tons of people took to social media to post their own versions of this bizarre trend, but these halos aren’t very angelic.
7. Yellow Blush

This trend took over instagram replacing pinkie blush with neon yellow. And even though this is a wild idea… some people were actually able to pull it off. The look gives a more editorial look for photos, but I’m not gonna be trying this one myself any time soon.
6. Corkscrew Nails

Nail art is always a big trend on social media, but these nails are…interesting. This trend turns your nails into swirly cork screws and it looks cool…
But is it functional??
These acrylic nails are shaped and dried, and when they’re done, you’re ready to not be able to hold anything for a while. Can you imagine trying to type or text?
Now this next nail trend is much more functional but just as weird.
5. Ulrasound Nails

Expecting mom have now started having their baby’s ultrasounds painted on their nails, and even though this is kind of bizarre, you have to hand it to thee nail artists… Just look at how intricate these details are!
And you know those moms would be mad if you messed that up.

4. Fish Scale Hair

This hair style is so intense. First, the bottom of your hair is shaved to look like fish scales…then the hair artist paints is silver and.. voila! you have fish scales on your head…yay!! But you don’t have to be limited to silver…you can also use fun rainbow colors, and be a rainbow fish!
3. Rainbow Part

Check out this part, that uses all the wonderful colors of the rainbow, and I”m not gonna lie this is actually pretty cool. This trend doesn’t turn your whole head into a rainbow, just your roots. The process is pretty extensive, but the results are very mermaid chic..
But if these colors are too bright for you, there’s a spinoff of the trend…
2. Watercolor Hair

These softer colors are much more subtle, and are giving more an an icy mermaid unicorn vibe.
And finally, number 1…
1. Painted Teeth

Having pearly whites is so last year. This trend is employing tooth polish to change the color of your teeth to match your outfit or makeup. (But honestly, this happens to me every time I drink Kool-Aid or Gatorade, and I don’t think anybody thinks its cute.)
