From squiggly brows to hairy nails, we thought we’d seen it all when it comes to wacky beauty trends but boy were we mistaken.

The new trend to hit social media is nose hair. Yup! You read that right, nostril hair extensions.

According to Viral Thread, initially it began as a satirical trend amongst Instagram users before it went viral. Many people assumed it was real and even started participating in it themselves.

The ‘extensions’ are made from fake eyelashes that’re rolled into the shape of a circle to cover your nostrils.

We suggest you don’t breathe too hard or even sneeze because they might just disappear.

Even though it was meant to be a joke, people on social media are freaking out and this particular trend is getting a lot of attention.

Here are some of the best ones:
