# Long False Eyelashes Famed Japanese Blogger Sets Her Own Style By Eva Rubenov | Published 2006-11-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-false-eyelashes-famed-japanese-blogger-sets-her-own-style References: [boingboing.net](http://www.boingboing.net/2006/11/29/geisha_asobi_makes_l.html) & [wtbw.net](http://wtbw.net/geisha/) Japanese blogger Geisha Asobi has used her own hair to create long false eyelashes. Will this become the next freaky trend in counter culture couture? I can imagine these eyelashes make it difficult to blink... **Implications** - Although it's hard to look at, Geisha Asobi definitely earns points for originality with this unusual approach to eyelash innovation. I doubt that this unusual idea will catch on in a widespread and mainstream way. It would be impractical to keep your hair like this on a daily basis, and it would certainly make dating a little bit more difficult. To be honest these hair-lashes really look more scary than anything else. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hair-lash Hybrid:** The creation of long false eyelashes using hair opens up opportunities for unconventional beauty trends. - **Counter Culture Couture:** Geisha Asobi's unique eyelash innovation sparks potential for avant-garde fashion trends. - **Unconventional Blinking:** The use of hair as false eyelashes presents disruptive potential for redefining eye makeup rituals. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The beauty industry can explore new product lines and techniques inspired by Geisha Asobi's hair-lash hybrid. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion industry can embrace counter culture couture trends influenced by Geisha Asobi's unconventional eyelashes. - **Eyewear and Eye Accessories:** The eyewear industry can explore innovative solutions for creating eyelashes that enhance blinking and eye expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Flexible False Eyelashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-by-velour.md) - [Press-On Lash Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetzi.md) - [Balayage-Inspired False Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balayage-wispies.md) - [Glue-Free Natural-Looking Falsies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impress-falsies.md) - [Edgy 90s-Style False Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-lash-couture-rebel-collection.md) - [MUA-Approved False Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velour-x-cgonzalez.md) - [Vegan False Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-jumbo-lash.md) - [Natural-Looking Self-Stick Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfstick-xtension-strips.md) - [Dynamic CGI Mascara Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybelline-new-york.md)
