While we may be just getting adjusted to seeing 2016 when we glance at the calendar, it looks like the latest in hair innovations is taking its cues from the future. For sci fi fans who simply can’t bear to strut the city streets with everyday brunette locks, avant-garde glow in the dark tresses may be the coolest new hair trend to try.

According to Seventeen, this new hair look can be achieved by using specially created black light sensitive hair dye. As a result, your tresses will then appear to glow in the dark, offering a vibrant and funky aesthetic.

Although corporate gals may want to avoid the look of brilliant green, violet and blue locks, we can certainly see this trend making waves among the creative set. On Instagram, a number of hairstyling lovers have showcased their newly crafted glowing strands. From soft woven braids to playful cropped ‘dos, glow in the dark hair colours can be adapted for any length or style. If you’re itching for hair inspiration and a rebellious colour makeover for the new year, take a peek at the following glow in the dark transformations.
