Lisa Simpson Costume Question?

Okay, so I plan on being Lisa Simpson this year for Halloween, but am having some trouble.



Now, I have her necklace (I was Wilma Flintstone last year and have a big old rock necklace that would fit perfect), the dress is easy enough, but the hair!!!...how the heck do I do my hair????? I don't want any fake ugly yellow head piece or anything like that (but I would succumb to the yellow head piece if I had to so those ideas are welcome as well)....I want it to flow naturally with my hair. My hair is fairly long, past the shoulders, and I could probably tweak in a cool way, if I actually had a cool idea......lol.



Anybody have any good hair ideas for Lisa? I have thought about making triangle cardboard things, but am thinking that that sounds easier said than done.



Any help would be appreciated.

When I was really Punk back in the day, my hair used to be a liberty spiked mohawk. It looked like this:

All I did was hold up a spike, use a stiff hair spray, blow dry, spray, blow dry, and maybe a third time. It would stay up no problem all day, and even take some punishment. Getting it down was the harder part (it sort of melted off in the shower).



Hopefully, this will help you with the Lisa cut. You have to wear it from side to side, fan the spikes wider, and bend your hair in the middle and let it run down to the top of your neck.

buy a few cans of hair spray and that yellow colored hair spray, flip your head over, start spraying, shape it and you are done!

To get the actuall hair you would need some experience with Latex makeup. What I would do with natural hair is color it bright yellow and maybe wear facepaint to match it to your skin. Then use glue, yes glue to get your hair to go pointy. That is how the punk rockers used to spike their hair back in the eighties. Simple elmers glue and it does wash out with shampoo.
