If you view every holiday party as an excuse to wear your sparkliest clothing, then you're definitely going to love the newest beauty trend blowing up on Instagram. Following close on the heels of glitter roots, rainbow glitter hair has officially arrived — and it's just as magical (and messy) as you'd expect.

According to Refinery29, the sparkly beauty trend has been getting some major traction lately thanks to Nine Zero One Salon stylist Nikki Lee, who demonstrated how to create a rainbow glitter fishtail braid for Beauty Coach TV earlier this week. But based on a quick scroll through Instagram, it's safe to say this trend has been a long time coming.

All you need to achieve the look is some Major Moonshine Glitter Gel, created by world-renowned Ramirez Tran Salon colorist Daniel Moon, and you'll be ready to sparkle your way into the new year. You're also welcome to try the trend with good old-fashioned craft glitter, but you can probably guess how that will turn out.

Whether you go for something subtle or bold, this look is guaranteed to turn heads. Check out just a few of all the glittery possibilities below!
