It's official - 2017 is the year of epic hair.
With everything from kirby grip hair art, and rainbow hair extensions making a return to the runway, to celebs dying their hair every pastel colour under the sun, there's never been a better time to embrace those experimental festival hair vibes.
The latest trend taking over our Instagram feeds? Spray on rainbow hair stenciling.
We'll be honest, this isn't exactly a new trick - it's been doing the rounds for a while now, but the latest batch has taken things up a notch, with the most intricately precise patterns and shapes that are more hair art than anything else.

Want to give it a go? The good thing is that you don't need to be the next Picasso to get it right.
It's simply a case of resting a stencil against your hair and applying a coloured hair spray over the top to leave behind your chosen pattern.
We'd imagine things get messy pretty quickly, so maybe give this one a go in the shower so if (ok, when) you paint outside the lines, you can easily wash any mess down the plughole. Genius.
