Stylish hipster men on Instagram are celebrating the holidays in the most unusual fashion. They're putting colored glitters on their beards, mustaches and even their eyebrows to denote a magical and festive look.

Photos of #glitterbeards have been on the social sharing site for over a month, but it has been gaining steam of late due to the coming holidays, according to SomeECards. Despite its rising popularity, some regard glittered beards as an impractical way to express style and spread the yuletide cheer as the glitter may find its way into the guy's clothes, food and drinks, or onto others if he tries to kiss someone under the mistletoe.

Glitter is also not easy to remove and may require at least 20 showers to do so, according to Metro. It's the same problem for women styling their hair roots with glitter, as previously reported on HNGN. Nevertheless, Instagram netizens continue to have fun with both styles.

No one is exactly sure how this whole glitter beard started, according to iDigital Times. Below are some samples of men with glitter beards:
