# Artificial Human Hair Brushes These Obscure Brushes are Inspired by Dearbhaile Heaney's Work By Helge Simon | Published 2018-05-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artificial-human-hair-brush References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1360670735/hair-affairs-a-tool-for-whimsical-minds?ref=6x3dih) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/complicatedneeds/) This series of artificial human hair brushes is a perfectly weird hipster gift that may actually be used to create art, or simply to add exhilaration and playfulness to any room when utilized as a wall decor element. As a statement against any impoverished views of what it means to be human, the tools celebrate the absurdity and the complexity of people's emotional needs. They intelligently humor their owners, while promoting generosity towards people’s different quirks, follies and cravings. This is because ultimately, people, like these brushes, are rather strange. With this, these obscure artificial human hair brushes inspire those who come into contact with them to embrace their eccentric side and enjoy a peculiar relationship with hair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artificial Human Hair Brushes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new possibilities for using artificial human hair brushes in the beauty and fashion industries, such as creating unique hairstyles or designing avant-garde fashion accessories. - **Weird Hipster Gifts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the growing demand for niche and unconventional gifts by creating a line of weird, hipster-inspired products that cater to unique and unconventional tastes. - **Celebrating Human Quirks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products and services that embrace and celebrate the diversity of human quirks, creating a market for inclusive and accepting experiences that promote self-expression. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce artificial human hair brushes as a unique tool for hairstylists and salon professionals to create innovative and out-of-the-box hairstyles. - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to incorporate artificial human hair brushes in avant-garde fashion shows, creating unexpected hair accessories and enhancing the overall artistic vision. - **Gift Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Cater to the growing demand for unconventional and niche gifts by creating a range of weird hipster products, including artificial human hair brushes, that appeal to the unique tastes of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Specifically Designed Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bonne-brosse.md) - [Wellness-Promoting Brush Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwind-brush.md) - [Calligraphic Beauty Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-beckham-beauty-brushes.md) - [Quirky Toilet Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-toilet-brush.md) - [3D-Printed Makeup Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futura-avant-lab.md) - [Customizable Detangling Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detangling-brushes.md) - [Artisan Plant Care Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-brush.md) - [Hyper-Feminine Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-brush-goody-x-loveshackfancy.md)
