Just when you thought unicorn hair would top the charts in terms of the most interesting, height-defying hairstyle, in swoops the Christmas tree hair trend, blowing minds everywhere.

The self-explanatory look, according to the Daily Mail, is created when "people style their hair into an upside-down cone shape, mimicking a Christmas tree before decorating their strands with ornaments."

OK, but how does this 'do defy gravity? "A video by What's Trending said the style was achieved by placing an empty water bottle or cone on top of your head as a guide," states the Daily Mail article. "The hair was then smoothed up over the top of the bottle or cone and held in place with a hair elastic and hair spray."

I'm guessing they're all using the strongest-hold hairspray ever invented, because I can't even get my top knot to stay in place, and these festive mane magicians are balancing a star atop their 'style. 🤔

Some people are even taking their look to the next level, dyeing their hair green and adding lights to really replicate a tree. Don't believe me? Keep scrolling.
