Glow-in-the-dark hair has been taking the Internet by storm, with beauty bloggers around the world taking to Instagram to show off their gorgeous tresses in bright neon hues. If you want to recreate the look, you'll need special hair dyes created specifically for the purpose – but meanwhile, we've found some of our favourite looks for major hairstyle inspiration…

Braids and plaits are a huge hair trend, and we love the use of different colours for a bold and unique way of embracing the craze.

If you're planning to hit festivals this year, this is a great way to make a statement – choose one bright shade for a bold look that works both day and night.

Not a look for the faint-hearted, the look comes in neon shades for the daytime, getting its glow-in-the-dark look when placed under a blacklight.

We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw this gorgeous style created by mixing different colours – it's taken the ombré trend to a whole new level.

If you want a slightly softer take on the craze, try pastel pink shades – these firmly remain a favourite in the world of beauty so it's an ideal way of rocking two trends at the same time.

Although glow-in-the-dark dyes have been available in recent months, the trend has recently started taking over Instagram with beauty addicts everywhere flaunting their incredible styles.

Even the simplest of hairstyles such as a ponytail are instantly turned into rave-worthy looks – and we love this dip dyed effect with different shades for ultimate wow factor.

Many bloggers have been pairing the look with neon make-up for an eye-catching finish - although we wouldn't recommend trying this style for a day at the office!

A dip dye unlike any we've ever seen – we love how this trend works no matter what look you're after.
