Slider,

Another means of detecting minute vibration movement in the hair might be a CD pickup. The optics are designed to focus at close proximity to a CD and have both IR laser light source and photocell pickup.

I have played with a fiber optic pair of filaments with a light source on one strand and a photo diode on the other. I received variations of reflected light from an exposed earphone diaphram and displayed it on an oscilloscope to entertain the kids.
