18 most bizarre beauty trends of 2018

Beauty world is always buzzing with new trends, but 2018 saw some very weird trends taking over. From nose hair extensions (yes, you read that right!) to bull sperm conditioner, women across the world indulged in a lot of experiments. While you might have heard of some for sure, we have curated a list of 18 craziest beauty fads of the year, 2018. Here's a look at them!

Girls love to obsess over their hair and a bunch of girls on Instagram made a new hairstyle very popular this year and believe it or not, it's called 'flower vase hair'. The style takes its inspiration from one of Beyonce's magazine cover shoots that had her flaunting her floral headwear which looked like a flower vase. And, since the cover went viral, girls across the world started trying out the trend which involves a bunch of flowers inserted in hair in an aesthetic way that makes the head look similar to a flower vase.

So apparently, now you don't need to look for a corkscrew to open your favourite bottle of wine because you can do the honours with your nails, weird? Well, it is! All you need to do is paint your nails with acrylic nail paint and shape them in a pointed fashion. Then, take a small piece of plastic straw and position it under the tip of the nails and leave it to dry. Now, finish off with some nail glitter and build a spiral around the plastic straw.

The trend that started in Mexico involves the masseur use the nopal paddies of a cactus plant to relieve the tired muscles of the person receiving the massage. Well, before you jump to a conclusion - the cactus is definitely de-seeded before the massage begins. It apparently removes toxins from the body.

If you love mayonnaise in your sandwich, you are going to find it hard to digest the fact that now can actually apply some of that sandwich spread on your face. Since mayo is rich in eggs and oils, it is the perfect natural skin hydrator. No only does it improve the texture of the skin, but also preserves skin's moisture.

Women love to play with fire, don't they? And, now they are trying out fire facials! Chinese beauty salons are using open flames to regenerate cells for a young look. It only takes a towel soaked in alcohol to be put over the face and set to fire.

An Instagrammer tried sticking eyelashes to her nostrils and rest is history. Would you dare to try this trend?

We don't even know why it's a trend, but it is one. It's just about painting your brows in a way that they look like a man's tool.

Believe it or not, some cosmetic giants have started using bull sperm in hair conditioners because of its ability to soften the hair. Eeww, but true.

Glitter peel-off masks are trending because they leave the skin soft, thanks to the glycerine and charcoal present in them.

An Instagrammer used fancy gold chain and stuck them over/below her eyes with some glue. It was risque but so cool.

Remember Avatar? Well, this one comes close. Apparently, anime make-up is a thing!

Anything that catches attention becomes cool. Well, some Instagrammers are painting their faces with cool graffiti and it is a trend.
