First seen at the Rick Owens Fall 2016 fashion show, candy floss hair is the latest hairstyle to raise a few eyebrows on social media. This intricate hairdo is inspired by a tasty fun fair treat and creates quite the statement.
Not to be confused with the colorful cotton candy hairstyle, candy floss hair is a dynamic style that features matted bubble tresses that completely covers the head. The creator of the hairstyle -- Owens' hairstylist Duffy -- said this look is achieved with hair pins, hidden top knots and balloons that are used for shape but popped before completion.
While this hairstyle isn't as wearable as this year's previous popular styles, it's the perfect look for any dramatic fashion shows or costume parties.
