Egyptian conceptual photographer Ahmad El-Abi started a new photo series called Stuffed Hair. He simply fills his locks with [colorful, quirky and fun objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets) and takes pictures.

The items he sticks in his hair include [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-in-red) pieces, bubbles, matches, lollipops and drinking straws. The possibilities are endless with these [silly imaginative photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji). The energy in these images are reminiscent of the silly things we used to do to our hair when we were kids. Ahmad said the bubbles shot was the most challenging as it was difficult to do it without the popping the bubbles but somehow he managed to.

It just goes to show that sometimes art inspiration can come from the weirdest places like hair. We don't always have to be inspired by whats conventionally beautiful. Find beauty in the quirkiness of life.
