1. Introduction to Ice Spice Hair

the new hair color trend, Ice Spice Hair, appeared on a variety of platforms, including the Grazia UK website and Instagram. The term refers to a hair color with dark roots gradually lightening into a complex blend of ombré colors, and it became popular among fashion bloggers like Liz Uy first, quickly followed by other celebrities and fashion influencers such as Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne, and Rita Ora. Unlike bright, get-up chameleon hair, these Ice Spice tones are characterized by their sophisticated elegance and subtlety. For dark hair to undergo such a transformation requires numerous complex and delicate operations, which makes the emergence of the trend even more surprising.

Celebrity hair designers use their social media channels to declare themselves the creators of this trend. They explained that Ice Spice Hair is a work of art that appears on clients’ hair. The vital force of Ice Spice is its naturalness. The aim is to bring natural hair color back on trend. Unlike traditional bleaching and pigment staining, Ice Spice highlights a certain type of hair naturalness and body. The relationship between the client and hair designer is so exclusive that many hair designers do not even want to reveal their secrets, guiding clients towards their salons on several continents. At the request of their followers, leading celebrity hair designers in England, Germany, Spain, and the United States each added video images and music, documenting the numerous color transformation stages of Ice Spice.

2. Methods for Distinguishing Between Ice Spice hair Wigs and Natural Hair

Ice Spice hair wigs have a transparent ‘skin’ for the lace front, usually made of Swiss lace, a colorless lace that can easily ‘disappear’. This lace has to be concealed by the Ice Spice hair wig wearer. The successful concealment of lace can be seen from hair that looks like it is growing from the wearer’s scalp. Doing a proper job of concealing the lace presents a greater challenge, as compared to normal wigs, which necessarily have visible lace among human hairs, because Ice Spice hair wigs are claimed to have more flexibility due to the size of the lace. The extra-large lace bears a more natural effect. To distinguish between Ice Spice hair wigs and natural hair, the lace must be observed. However, this judgment will be inaccurate if the lace is heavily concealed or when the wearer has arranged their natural hair to cover the lace. Furthermore, since some wearers will partially pull back the front of the wigged hair (including some wearer’s natural hair) to form a tight-braided bun, or a high ponytail, or pigtail surrounded by the wigged hair, it can be difficult to observe the hair at the front hairline.

Increasingly, people from all walks of life are cutting down on expenses and using wigs to achieve iconic looks derived from dyed or bleached hair styles. Wigs are diversified, affordable, and convenient. The shape and levels of hair damage can vary between wigs and natural hair due to different treatment methods.

When compared with human hair, processing wigs reveal more obvious damage. The hair is enhanced through treatments of different procedures including bleaching, lightening, etc. with various chemicals such as ammonia, the improver, or high levels of hydrogen peroxide, forming a cuticle texture which is totally different from that of natural hair. Even though virgin hair is a bit less shiny, the look of a dyed, bleached, or processed hair is obviously different from natural hair. Unfortunately, such a distinction might not be so easy and can be misleading. Due to the different treatments, the natural hair looks better than the wig, showing nude or yarn-like texture longitudinally and shallow grooves spaced with vivid alternating shade.

3. Analyzing Ice Spice’s Hair Appearances

Ice Spice’s unique hairstyle is said to be a custom wig. However, many video posts showing her new hairstyles claim her hair is natural, which confuses many viewers who think her style is done with wigs rather than natural hair. Although a custom wig has been developed, the development of this custom wig began on the basis of Ice Spice’s use of natural hair. In other words, the development of the wig began on the assumption that Ice Spice’s hair at the time was natural hair. Based on this development, other styles worn by the subject are expected to be misinterpreted as being on natural hair. As a result, a very important issue has emerged that may cause such confusion among viewers. Viewers may not be interested in this hair, but the phenomenon of being different from the viewer’s understanding is not limited to this subject, but the phenomenon could have occurred in the case of another subject.

Ice Spice has become a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, and one of the aspects that often draws attention is her hair. Analyzing her hair appearances can provide some interesting insights.

Ice Spice’s hair often showcases a variety of styles and colors. It can range from bold and vibrant shades to more natural-looking tones. Her hairstyles are usually on-trend, with sleek and straight looks or more voluminous and textured styles.

One noticeable feature is the way her hair seems to effortlessly fall into place, giving her a confident and fashionable appearance. The length and cut of her hair also vary, adding to the versatility of her overall look.

It’s clear that Ice Spice is not afraid to experiment with different hair choices, which has undoubtedly contributed to her unique image and style. Her hair has become an integral part of her personal brand, and fans often admire and discuss her various hair transformations.

Furthermore, by observing her hair appearances, we can see how she embraces current fashion trends while also making them her own. It’s a reflection of her individuality and creativity in the world of entertainment.

4. Celebrity Hair Trends and Influences

The eastern European influencer Ice Spice (née Janina; Olite Kisylychne) is notable for various hairstyles in her public appearances, including an ensemble of very long, straight, blue dyed hairstyles. We describe a research output of the Braid study—a scientific investigation underway to confirm what we may assume are natural hair, although in an age of celebrity, beauty, and fashion customization, we struggled to brush and plait to determine if hair is authentic. Although we stop short of revealing the official study results, we believe our investigations from an unusual perspective should be mentioned. Some variables showing cultural and national trend influences have come to light as a result of preliminary evidence review. Moreover, as this might be engaged in design, we believe it is necessary to share some such findings on the international stage. We are thus providing a comprehensive research perspective.

We live in an era where celebrities set aesthetic standards and act as trend makers. Particularly due to the onset of digital media and the smartphone adoption, empowering the common people, we can see an increasing number of common people adopting similar celebrities’ fashions. Contemporary societies provide an environment for such trends to be rapidly diffused, especially through YouTube tutorials that help accustom people to finding wigs as an alternative to obtaining the same aesthetic by changing their own hair. Straight hair is the most popular in the world; just as coins of large denominations tend to have greater purchasing power, especially in countries with unstable economics, so, with thousands of anonymous women imitating the same hairstyle, masses of women prudently buy wigs with straight hair for their alleged influence on popularity and attraction.

5. Conclusion and Future Research Directions

In this paper, we explored a novel fashion hair-color trend, Ice spice hair, by conducting a series of investigations on social media, which we then compared with discussions on the same trend in blogs and news. Our work focused on four specific research questions. After collecting and analyzing posts from three social media and one blog site, as well as news articles about Ice spice hair, the results suggest that the Ice spice hair-color has attracted a great deal of attention and become very popular, but there are potential differences between real and simulated images. As well, while all the bloggers/posts were women, compared with the women’s social media expressions showing their concern with facial features—such as their big eyes, plump face, and narrow chin and mandible—they were also unsatisfied with the short bob hairstyle, hints that women seek to have Ice spice hair to shape their faces, and the influence of knowledgeable endorsements on viewers may influence their intention to accept this color.
