# Weaponized Grooming Accessories The Gun Comb Will Force Your Hair into Submission By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-11-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gun-comb References: [geekalerts](http://www.geekalerts.com/gun-comb/) Everyone knows a bad hair day can be quite threatening -- ruining moods, attracting ridicule -- so why not scare it into submission with a gun comb? Shaped like the actual weapon, the gun comb comes with a 10 cm-long handle with the gun's barrel reaching 21 centimeters. Unfortunately, there is no actual trigger to this lethal weapon accessory but hopefully, the hair will feel a little threatened with the lethal weapon staring it in the face. The gun's handle is great for blow drying hair as well. Arched at a 90-degree angle, the hand can maneuver the comb, easily aiming it away from the actual head of the dryer, making it simpler to control and direct heat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Weaponized Accessories:** There is an opportunity to explore the integration of traditional items with harmful design patterns. - **Novelty Combs:** Companies can create new and exciting designs for hair combs to target the younger demographic. - **Functional Weapon Replicas:** Opportunities for creating unique products that can be both functional and weapon replicas for those interested in tactical style. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Grooming:** The beauty industry can create hair combs as a product that integrates functionality to attract consumers looking for novelty items. - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory designers can explore the potential of integrating weapons into clothing accessories such as belts and earrings. - **Tactical Gear:** An opportunity for the tactical gear industry to create unique designs that combine the aesthetic of weapon replicas with function for a more niche audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Flyaway Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/styling-taming-wand.md) - [Ultra-Fast Hair Shaving Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groomie-baldiepro-head-shaver.md) - [Smart Hair Grooming Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-hair-grooming-device.md) - [Scalp Massage Combs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scalp-massage-comb.md) - [High-End Dog Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-groom-tool-brush.md) - [Wax-Free Flyaway Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel-hair-taming-wand.md) - [Hilarious Backside Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dude-wipes-2.md) - [Salon Stylist Sprayer Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-sprayer.md) - [Redefining Blowout Hair Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-glossi.md)
