A striking mixture of [real human hair and fiber optics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-optical-fiber-technology), it lights up when turned on. Moving and looking just like a real head of hair when not lit up, the Fiber Optic Wig may not seem crazy enough for Lady Gaga. Nevertheless, when turned on, she looks like a mythical mermaid brought to life. The Fiber Optic Wig was created by Frederic Aspiras. Taking about six months to make, it was specifically inspired by the idea of a [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hally-hair-1) princess going to a rave. When plugged into light boards at her concerts, the wig can be controlled by Gaga's lighting designer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fiber Optic Hair:** Incorporating fiber optics into hair for unique and customizable lighting effects presents opportunities for costume design and entertainment. - **LED Hair Accessories:** The use of LED lights in hair accessories offers potential for innovative fashion and beauty products. - **Interactive Hair Designs:** Integrating technology into hairstyles allows for dynamic and interactive design possibilities. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Costume Design:** The integration of fiber optic technology and LED lights in clothing and accessories presents opportunities for innovative fashion and costume design. - **Entertainment and Performance:** The use of fiber optic technology and LED lights in hair and clothing for live performances and events presents opportunities for immersive and interactive experiences. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The incorporation of technology into hair accessories and styling tools presents opportunities for unique beauty products and styling services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glowing Neon Hair Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hally-hair-1.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/im-a-wow.md) - [Virtual Wig Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genai-experience.md) - [Hair Gem Stylers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-pen.md) - [LED Light Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreo-flip.md) - [Gen Z-Inspired Hair Gems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-z-collection.md) - [Glueless Medical Wigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-wig.md) - [Character-Inspired Beauty Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good1.md) - [Intricate Optical Phone Aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-optical-fiber-technology.md)
