We have found the grown-up (not to mention way more chic and fashionable) equivalent of the disco hair beads of the 70s. Yes, we have stumbled upon hair piercing and we are hooked. Whether we are spending hours drooling over Jessy and Taiba’s Instagram feed on Keash Braids or simply pinning hair piercing hairstyles on our Pinterest stack for #KillerHairGoals, we couldn’t be more excited about the punky accents, the spunky studs, the sporty spikes, the charming coils and the edgy embellishments. Whether worn on braids, curls or simple everyday hair, these hair piercing hairstyles are changing the way the game’s played- and for that, we are glad. Unlike body piercings, this pain-free, hassle-free trend is catching on like wildfire and why wouldn’t it- when Aguilera has given it a thumbs-up and Rita Ora is sparkling with pearls and rings in her ringlets! If you are thinking of getting in on the alt look, the time is now or never. Get going with the coolest hair piercing hairstyles and make your humble hairdos a thing of beauty and therefore, a joy forever:
