Instagram WHP Hair Play Project - Best Submissions

Skip navigation!

Begin Slideshow

Every Monday, Instagram collects its favorite photos from the Weekend Hashtag Project to share with its 86.2 million followers. (Needless to say, they have to be pretty damn good.) The latest contest involved one of our favorite topics — hair — so, of course, we got excited.

Insta-users were asked to take pictures featuring creative hairstyles and facial hair, tagging them with the hashtag #WHPhairplay. They're seriously impressive (and super-artsy), and they made us want to run out and take some hair-spiration shots of our own.

We scrolled through the many submissions and picked out the most impressive of the bunch. Click through for some of our favorite art-and-hair hybrids, and prepare to be inspired — or, at the very least, just "ooh" and "aah" a lot.
