100 Unthinkable Updos

From Mollusk-Themed Hair to Brazen Beehive Lookbooks

A slew of unthinkable updos have come to distinguish some of the fashion world's most critically acclaimed catwalks and publications. The shock value that goes hand in hand with towering displays of green, purple and excessively tousled tresses is one that designers have preferred, leaving lasting impressions upon adoring fans.

Teams of cosmetic artists and hairstylists have showcased their talent via mollusk-themed hair displays and brazen beehive lookbooks. Considerable amounts of gel, spray and pins have been used to pull off these intricate looks, and there seems to be no end to how far this niche can go. The adventurous looks of celebrities like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj have egged on this edgy style culture, continuously sporting bright-hued wigs in front of thousands.
