There’s a new hair trend that takes inspiration from old school sweets

Sherbet hair, anyone?

There is a new colourful hair trend that is taking over Instagram. It involves hairdressers taking inspiration from their favourite childhood sweet, or sometimes just sweets in general, to create a new hair colour or style.

They’ve explored anything from sherbet to Fruit Salad sweets and even managed to create hair that resembles the candy necklaces and bracelets we all loved to wear.

Some of these are quite bright, but others have subtle hues that are just stunning.
