Lady Gaga has recently released a [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k18-extreme-hair-rescue) video to showcase the latest invention by Haus of Gaga, the Fiber Optic Wig. 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.
