Year after year, more and more strange trends appear in the world. 2015 was no exception. Ear stitching for weight loss, fingernails, selfie sticks, huge lips, a beard decorated with artificial or natural colors - all these and many other unusual new trends have a lot of fans.
Introducing you the most unusual trends of 2015.
7. Ear stapling
You may have heard about stomach stitching, known in medical circles as gastric banding. This is yesterday. A new and less invasive method of losing weight is gaining popularity. Ear stapling involves placing the brace on the inner cartilage of the ear. For two months, the brace remains in place and all this time affects certain points, allowing you to suppress appetite. A kind of western version of acupuncture.
There is no scientific basis for the benefits of ear stitching for weight loss. But there are cases of ear infections. Four Texas patients who installed ear braces complained of pain in their jaw, which prevented them from chewing normally. Well, also a peculiar way to lose weight, however, we recommend that you look at the best diets of our time.
6. Diet with coffee and butter
Such an unusual dietary idea came up with entrepreneur Dave Asprey when he traveled to Nepal in search of an unusual means of losing weight. There he was offered tea with butter, milk and salt, after a long day of trekking. The drink gave Esprey strength, and he tried to create something similar, with coffee.
Esprey built his own “bulletproof” cafe (bulletproof coffee) in Silicon Valley. They serve "bulletproof coffee" (a mixture of coffee, butter and SCT oils, 460 calories), which, supposedly, will help everyone to lose weight, increase energy and mental performance. Perhaps if you add a piece of cake to such a diet, your mood will also improve. Until the "losing weight" does not stand on the scales.
The coffee and oil trend has already gone beyond Silicon Valley and has spread throughout America.
5. Flower beard
Do you have a beard? I will say yes to you! Do you have flowers in your beard? Well, I don’t even know what to say. This strange fashion trend, which originated in 2014 and is still popular in 2015, leaves a double impression. Either to admire the creativity and diligence with which hipsters decorate their vegetation, or to say "you have something ridiculous stuck in your hair."
4. Nail bubbles
Funny and unusual trend of 2015. It looks like spherical multi-colored growths on the nails. Such a manicure is performed by applying multiple layers of gel. It seems as if a tiny hump has grown on the fingers, and in everyday life it is not too practical. But fashion requires sacrifice.
3. Giant mohawk
This trend, which was supposed to die many years ago, returned in 2015 as the Jurassic Park. All that the owner of such an mohawk is focused on is to keep his head directly under the weight of his hair.
2. Selfie Stick
Some people consider such an accessory stupid, but, in addition to the main purpose, a selfie stick has many other uses: you can use it as a back comb, you can fight off a pack of dogs or throw it to your dog instead of a regular stick, you can use it instead of a cane, knock the heat out of the carpets, arrange a selfie battle on sticks with a friend. Just an indispensable thing in the household. And LG has released a selfie smartphone V10, the review of which we conducted the other day.
1. Huge lips
There is nothing wrong with naturally large lips. But it is not good if a woman seeks to enlarge her lips to hypertrophied sizes with the help of a vacuum tube or injections. A strange trend has appeared this year - teenage girls inject silicon on their lips to mimic Kylie Jenner's mouth. This is the most dangerous and stupid fashion trend of all included in the rating.
