Viral 'Flowerpot' Hairstyle: The Instagram Trend Inspired by Rihanna and Beyoncé

Instagram is a hotbed for bold beauty trends that push boundaries—from wavy eyebrows and pie-shovel manicures to the infamous Christmas tree brows popularized by beauty YouTuber Taylor R. Her latest creation, the eye-catching "flowerpot" or "flower vase hair," draws inspiration from recent Vogue covers featuring Rihanna and Beyoncé (see below). Towering tens of centimeters above the head, this hairstyle mimics a vase perched atop the skull. In her Instagram video, Taylor R shares the step-by-step process for anyone daring to try it.

A Replicable Look That's Gone Viral

Start by parting your hair into two sections and wrapping it evenly around an empty plastic bottle placed on your head (safer for your neck than glass!). Secure everything with rubber bands to shape the rounded 'vase.' Top it off with a bouquet of flowers, weaving stems into the bands and hair for stability. Voilà! The video has racked up over 115,000 views, sparking recreations galore. Fans call Taylor a 'trendsetter,' 'bold,' and 'creative.' Pro tip: Watch for doorways and tight spaces to protect your masterpiece. Perfect for costume parties!
