Have you ever tried to recreate this look with an entire can of hairspray and an entire package of bobbi pins and it still fell flat? Don't feel bad. It's very deceiving. It looks like they're just using their own hair, but really they've probably got something stuck up in there. In the industry, this called a Rat.
To make one I started with a bunch of hair. You can use a cheap clip-in or extensions-- no one is going to see it. I happened to have this hair from when I chopped my own off a few months ago. Yes I saved it, and no, I had no idea what I was going to use it for at the time. To make this hair really go the extra mile, spray it with hairspray and tease the snot out of it. The other thing you'll need is a hair net.
So stuff the hair into the hair net, tie the ends in a knot and voila-- you have your very own Rat :) Place it on the crown of your head and secure it with bobbi pins. You can tease and spray your own hair surrounding the rat and smooth it into place all around.
