2016 Already Has a Signature Weird Hair Trend: Glow-in-the-Dark Rainbow Locks

2016, you’re off to a radiant start.

Just last week we checked out the gold-leaf hair trend, and before that we were all about hair tattoos, glitter roots, and even the dude-friendly trend of glitter beards.

Now things are getting a little more luminous on the hair front thanks to hair-obsessives discovering Manic Panic’s glow-in-the-dark hair dye. It’s been around, but this is the first time we’re seeing it mashed up with the can’t-stop-won’t-stop rainbow hair trend, which has hit the full spectrum of colors from pastel streaks to dreamy “betta fish hair” to ultradramatic “sand art hair.”

These days, if you want to make your Lisa Frank-esque rainbow mane glow (or just enjoy the shock factor of those who do!), you most definitely can.

The poster children for this trend are longtime rainbow-haired Megan McCay, who Instagrams at RainbowMegz, and pro makeup artist Mishele DiMaria, who Instagrams at MisheleDiMariaDesigns. Check out some of their snapshots (plus many more!) … and then decide if a few streaks of “Electric Banana” or “Siren’s Song” are what your locks need next.
