Having decided to create myself a headpiece using the "Claytex method", I'm now on the lookout for a good wig to sew into it.

I'm looking for realistic-looking and cheap wigs, and preferably ones that look like Klingon hair. My price-range is limited, however, so cheapness comes first. Has anyone found a really good Klingon-looking wig for not-that-much money?

Any other suggestions on making a headpiece or finding a wig would be appreciated as well!

When a show of teeth doesn't work, bite deeply.

     I haven't seen this method before...  Looks interesting.  If that works it can save a lot of time and effort over the 3 to 5 step head casts.  Good information thre about altering and sewing in the wig...  I still need to do that with mine.   Please let us all know how it goes.

     As far as wigs go...  There is fortunately very little specific about Klingon hair other than being big and poofy.  Just about any basic black or brown long-haired cheap costume wigs(don't finch from buying 'female' wigs) will probably work just fine for a first costume where the goal is to make a passible klingon look to get you started while leaving refining your look for future projects.   With a bit of conditioning to poof them up, generic natural colored longhair female costume wigs look quite normal on a Klingon male.  I would definately start with your local costume shop where you can usually find something that will work well for $15-$20.

looks like a worth-while method...
Might try that with my to-be-forehead/headpiece...
