The props department of The Next Generation also stole your sisters hair thingy.

Geordi LaForge’s Visor sitting on a table in the sickbay of the Enterprise-D. In high definition, it is very clear that it is a plastic hair crimp painted silver and decorated.

I wasn’t even all that young, but my friends and I still did it with those hair things. Which makes sense.

The art staff assigned to Star Trek: The Next Generation spent three months working on possible designs for the VISOR. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (3rd ed., p. 21)) After several test models of the device were produced, Scenic Artist Michael Okuda brought a plastic banana clip – which generally fits over a girl’s or woman’s head – into the production, one day, having discovered it could be used to represent the VISOR.
