fright-wigs
Wild costume hairpieces
Fright-wigs are wigs designed to look wild, disheveled, or alarming—typically standing on end or sticking out in all directions.
They're costume pieces for Halloween, theater, or comedy, meant to suggest madness, shock, or monstrousness.
The term also describes actual hair that looks similarly chaotic: She woke up with her hair in fright-wig mode.
