Glasgow-based hair stylist Fallon Carberry (of the amazing BLOW Finnieston salon) is always impressing us with new looks; most recently, she's been experimenting with the glitter fade, an ingenious way to [cover up roots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gray-escape-hair-brow-mascara) and have a little fun in the process.

A few creative bloggers on Tumblr have been using glitter to conceal, or rather, improve [dark under-eye circles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparklestik-eye-crayon). Carberry's latest look follows the same logic, using glitter to revamp "weary winter locks" in between dye jobs.

The accompanying photographs show that, no matter if you're rocking a sassy up-do or screen siren curls, glitter will make an awesome addition to your look. If you're into [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-shine-gloss-mask), grab some glitter and turn your head into an arts and crafts project!
