How do they work? Glowbys fiberoptic hair lights consist of a small barrette which houses two small watch batteries and a light source. The light source lights up a bundle of approximately 60 flexible fiber optics which extend out of the barrette. The light travels down each fiber and only becomes visible at the very end. So wherever the fiber is cut, that is where the star of light will appear.

First attach the Glowbys barrette clip to the hair; the barrette can be hidden under the hair, or worn on top of the hair like a normal barrette. The flexible fibers can then be treated just like strands of hair - loop, bend cut, etc. You can do almost anything with the fibers that you do with hair, with the exception of using a curling iron; high heat will melt the plastic fibers. To maximize brightness, cut the fibers are a 45 deg angle. If the fibers are cut flat, then most of the light will just go straight out the bottom.

Glowbys come in 8 different light colors, so you can match them with your outfit for prom, concerts, dances, or holiday party theme - Halloween, blue/red for 4th of July, green for St Patrick's Day, etc. There's also a mutli-color Glowbys option which cycles through all the colors of the rainbow!
