From year to year, more and more strange trends appear in the world. 2015 was no exception. Sewing an ear for weight loss, bubble nails, selfie sticks, huge lips, a beard decorated with artificial or natural flowers - all of these and many other unusual new trends have a lot of fans.
Introducing you the most unusual trends of 2015.
7. Ear stitching
You may have heard of gastric stitching, known in medical circles as gastric banding. This is yesterday. A new and less invasive method of losing weight is gaining popularity. Ear stitching involves placing the staple over the inner cartilage of the ear. For two months the brace remains in place and all this time acts on certain points, allowing you to suppress your 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 had ear braces installed complained of jaw pain that prevented them from chewing properly. Well, this is also a peculiar way to lose weight, but we recommend looking the best diets of our time.
6. Diet with coffee and butter
This unusual dietary idea came to entrepreneur Dave Asprey while traveling around Nepal in search of an unusual weight loss product. There he was offered tea with butter, milk and salt after a long day of trekking. The drink gave Asprey strength, and he tried to create something similar, with coffee.
In Silicon Valley, Asprey built his own "bulletproof" coffee shop. They serve "bulletproof coffee" (a mixture of coffee, butter and MCT 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, then your mood will also improve. Until the “losing weight” gets on the scales.
The oil and coffee trend has already gone beyond Silicon Valley and spread throughout America.
5. Flower beard
Do you have a beard? I'll tell you yes! Do you have flowers in your beard? Well, I don't even know what to say. This bizarre fashion trend, which started in 2014 and is still popular in 2015, leaves a double impression. Either admire the creativity and diligence with which hipsters decorate their vegetation, or say "you have something ridiculous stuck in your hair."
4. Bubble nails
Funny and unusual trend of 2015. 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 miniature hump has grown on the fingers, and in everyday life it is not very practical. But fashion requires sacrifice.
3. Giant mohawk
This trend, which should have died years ago, returned in 2015 as Jurassic Park. All that the owner of such a mohawk is focused on is keeping his head right under the weight of his hair.
2. Selfie stick
Some people find such an accessory stupid, but in addition to the main purpose, the 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 ardor out of carpets,Have a selfie stick fight with a friend. Just an irreplaceable thing in the household. And LG has released selfie smartphone V10, which we reviewed 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 using a vacuum tube or injections. An odd trend has emerged this year - teenage girls inject silicon into their lips to mimic Kylie Jenner's mouth. This is the most dangerous and stupid fashion trend of all the ratings.
