Quotes by Akin Konizi, International Creative Director of hob salons says:

If you are brave enough and want to go for the full Amy experience, the best option is to place a hair piece on your head to create the beehive. Buy crepe hair and mould into a ball. Place it in a fine hair net and secure onto the head. Otherwise use your own hair to create a less exaggerated version of it.
