If you can’t grow your own [facial hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-kits) to this extent or your locks lack the texture necessary for dreads, artist Nifer Fahrion’s creations are just the remedy. The fun accessories are made from 100% merino wool and available on the NifNaks website. Moustachios start at $25 for the dainty ‘Chaplin’ and go up to $47 for the more elaborate ‘Edwardian’ or ‘Zeppelin’ models. Fahrion’s [dreadlocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-renatural) are crafted in a rainbow of colours and can be bought individually for $2.50 each or, for $150, you’ll get a 60-strand full-on hippie do. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Felted Hair Accessories:** The trend of unique and handmade hair accessories presents an opportunity for small businesses to create personalized accessories. - **Prosthetic Moustachios:** The trend of fun and quirky prosthetic moustachios presents an opportunity for costume and party accessory manufacturers. - **Wool Dreadlocks:** The trend of brightly colored and textured wool dreadlocks presents an opportunity for hair extension companies to provide unique and customizable options for their customers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has the opportunity to incorporate felted hair accessories and make them a staple of runway fashion. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic companies can promote wool dreadlocks as an alternative to traditional synthetic hair extensions and create quality products to maintain them. - **Party Supplies:** The trend of prosthetic moustachios can be capitalized by party supply companies to provide fun and customizable options for party-goers and costume enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Hair-Made Prosthetic Nipples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosthetic-nipples.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Real Hair-Packed Voodoo Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steveo.md) - [Charming Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove.md) - [Striking Artisan Cheese Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection.md) - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Body Hair-Centric Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-kits.md) - [Premium Hyper-Realistic Wigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-renatural.md)
