Marie Antoinette Movie Costumes
Question: How do i get big hair? (see detials)?
I have thick hair but it just lays limp its maybe 2 inches past the shoulder. I’m going to a costume party as Marie Antoinette an i want to know how to do my hair like hers in the movie.
Answer: This is close to how THEY did it-- Use some Poly Fil (pillow stuffing), make a tight ball with it and bobby-pin it onto your head. Brush your hair evenly over the "pillow" and spray it REALLY well, then pin it in place. Pull the ends of your hair into a tight bun on top of the pillow, and pin into place. If you have a hard time getting it to stay up, apply a spiking pomade to it first, then blow-dry it till it's really stiff. Tie a bright-colored ribbon around the base of the bun, and stud your hair with artificial baby's breath, rhinestones, etc, to finish the look. If you want, you could even use a pale pink or blue temprary dye spray, and tint your hair with it, as this was also fashionable at the time. Rim your hairline with tiny pincurls, held in place with more bobby pins, and you'll look like an Imperial Goddess!
