There is no concrete definition to what beauty is; even across cultures the definition of beauty changes. However 6 crazy trends have popped up in Chinese social media, in attempts to define if you are hot or not! Remember though, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and these trends are a bit crazy).

1. A4 Paper Challenge

This challenge involves holding an A4 paper (portrait, which is about 21 cm in width and 29.7 cm in length), in front of your waist. If your waist disappears and you can only see your hips and torso, you have met the beauty standards of this challenge. What do you think about paper thin waists?

2. Belly Button Challenge

Another challenge emphasizing thin waists but with a twist! If you can reach around behind your back with your arm and touch your belly button, you have the perfect arm length and waist ratio according to this beauty trend. 

3. Clavicle or Collarbone Challenge  

 Try fitting a roll of coins along your collarbone. If you can balance these coins in your collarbone, not only do you have money but you also have a nice, bony structure... 

4. Money Wrist Challenge 

In Asia, slim and slender is the rage. Here is another challenge involving money and beauty. If you can wrap a Chinese paper bill around your wrist, you have a beautiful dainty wrist. 

5. IPhone Knee Challenge

Sorry Samsung users, looks like you have to seize an iphone 6 to complete this challenge. Hold your iphone 6 across your knees lengthwise, if your phone covers your kneecaps then you have accomplished this challenge. 

6. Fingertrap Test

The challenge which led to the creation of all of these insane trends...referred to as the "beauty and ugliness identification method", this challenge involves holding your finger straight against your nose and chin; if your lips do not tough your finger you're beautiful because you have the perfect nose, lips and chin proportions.

Let's talk about...crazy beauty trends

1. Black teeth 
Known in Japan as Ohaguro, it is a custom of dyeing one's teeth black. It was popular in Japan until the Meiji era. Dyeing was mainly done by married women and was beneficial, as it prevented tooth decay.

2. Bagel head
A type of body modification created in Canada and practised in the Japanese underground scene, it is a temporary (6-to 24-hour) swelling distortion of the forehead created by a saline drip and often shaped to resemble a bagel or doughnut.

3. Tattooths
Able to be removed and interchangeable, tattooths are more permanent than a stain on the enamel, but less permanent than an actual tattoo. This is because your dentist can remove the tattoo from the surface of your tooth at any time without damaging the tooth. So, if you no longer want a tattooth or want a different image, you can remove or change your tooth tattoo at your next dental appointment.

4.Toe-Besity Surgery
There is a growing number of patients turning to podiatrists to reshape and make their toes thinner and more attractive. Depending on the complexity of the operation, costs can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.

5. Vajazzle
A form of genital decoration, it is formed by the application of crystal ornaments on the shaved pubic area of a woman. This phenomenon was popularized by actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.
