Music icon Alicia Keys knows a good trend when she sees one. She's been the reigning queen of no makeup for almost a year now, and her latest hairstyle just earned her another honorific. Meet the new queen of neon hair, everyone.
The singer debuted box braids with fluorescent orange, yellow, and pink woven into them on her social media platforms, and I'm living for the summer look. Do you think she took inspiration from highlighter highlights? Or perhaps neon rainbow hair? Maybe she took the juicy route with Starburst hair? No matter what, she looks damn good. The contrast of her fresh face and her vibrant braids works so well. Somehow the bright shades are helping her skin glow even more than usual. (I didn't think that was humanly possible for her.)

Now that Keys has neon hair, it's safe to say that neon hair is officially one of the biggest beauty trends of the summer. As soon as temperatures started rising, Lite Brite-like shades started flooding our feeds. Kylie Jenner slipped on a lime green wig for Coachella. Neon peach hair became a thing. Jellyfish hair went viral. Wig goddess Blac Chyna gave the unicorn hair trend a spin with a neon touch. The list goes on. Of all of these, Keys's box braids are currently holding the top spot as my favorite.
