Among the important features of an Amy Winehouse Costume would be the hair. You will need a long black wig for this purpose. There must be a fair amount of thickness. For something between $50-70 you should be able to get your hands on one. Before dressing like any celebrity, it would do much good to take a good look of a fair number of their pictures in different attires and hairstyles. What you must have observed is that Amy Winehouse keeps a large hive of hair on the top of her head and lets the rest of her hair hang down.

To imitate this black beehive hairdo, you will need to take the front half of your wig and fold or roll it backward to make a bun-like shape. After you have done this, use a pin to hold the hair in position. A greater portion of hair should be left free on the back. One side of the wig must be randomly selected and the hair on that side needs to be cut short. Curl this hair using a hair curler preferably so as to create bangs. If you please, you may always wear a head band.
