THE FINAL - The Hair

I began with the hair as it would be the most time consuming element of the design:



Plaiting Jumbo Braid Coloured Hair from Brixton market.


Seeing what pink hair-wrapped horns would look like.



Sewing in neon pink hair to the front of the wig so I could create a pommodore roll at the front without a wig hairline.


Trying on one of the wigs with the horns. I decided once the wig was dressed they were too much so I ditched them to use in a future project.


Creating a structure by sewing in a piece of pipe lagging once I had sewn two of these pink wigs together.



Sectioning the hair and backcombing the roots


Attaching toy stuffing in a hair net to create shape and volume and using bukram as a cap to pin into


Spraying it pink to disguise it in case the hair doesn't cover it all


Dressing the hair up over the structure and padding


Trying feather placement


Still looking a bit messy - needs more securing


Creating the pomodore roll at the front


Decided to leave some hair down at the back


Adding further decoration


Placing the real Flamingo feathers at the front



Testing the placement of the resin Flamingo skull I will pin on once the wig is fitted to make sure it is central
