The United Strand x Higgsfield AI give everyone a scare!

The United Strand gave everyone a Halloween-style scare!

Frank, aka The United Strand, is famous for his big hair and for one big challenge: it doesn’t get cut until Manchester United win five games in a row. So when he appeared completely bald, his followers took it hard. He had given up on the challenge.

The scare

Or so it looked. In his video, Frank teamed up with Higgsfield AI to pull off a prank straight out of Halloween, making it seem like he had shaved everything off. It gave everybody a real fright.

Meet Higgsfield AI

The tool behind the trick is a visual-first AI platform focused on image and video generation for creators, marketers and teams who want faster, more cinematic visual output. Higgsfield is a San Francisco-based generative AI company that builds professional video and image creation tools. That made it a natural fit for a creator who wanted a prank that looked completely real. 

Behind the trick

Then came the reveal. Frank showed exactly how it was done and just how seamless and detailed the AI is. He took us through its features and how much you can change and adjust your hairstyle with a click of the mouse. We watched him scroll through a whole range of styles and try them on, each one looking smoother than the last. It’s the kind of tool that makes you wonder how many of your favourite creators have already used it without you noticing.

The hair lives on

The challenge is still on and the hair is still there. In the meantime, Frank gave us a scare worth remembering.
