metaphor
metonymy
personification
simile

Answer 1

I think it would be metonymy. Metonymy is the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example suit for business executive, or the track for horse racing. So in this case it would probably be black wires for hair...
