Description I finally figured out a way to make my hair look like Toph's!

Here's how I did it:
Seperate bangs from the back of my hair with the headband
Take a medium sized chunk of hair and hold it vertical
Backcomb
Continue this on all of your hair until it's basically a huge puffy afro
Smooth the hair into a sphere, bobby-pinning as necessary to hold it in place
Spray it with an aerosol gel or regular hairspray (I used an aerosol gel)
Voila, you have Toph hair!

It's pretty messy because I wasn't sure what I was doing, but I'm sure you'd be able to make it look neater with a little more effort or someone to help you. It's hard to see the back of your head! I had to do it all by feel, just like Toph would...xD;;; And if anyone doesn't already know, I am gonna go to the Sakura Con '08 as Toph in her Fire Nation disguise. ^_^

Oh and also, my hair is short, so if you have long hair you're gonna have to modify this or find another way. Even my hair was a little too long to make it look quite right on the bottom. That's why I had so many bobby pins.

I wiiiiiiiiiiish I could figure out how Toph's hair is done with LONG hair. Not because I want to do it with my hair, but because I have no idea where her hair is going and what direction it is happening in when DRAWING it! Any ideas? ;o;

P.S. This looks sooo fab on you!

How long is your hair? I'll need a wig, but I'm not sure about which lenght is better to make Toph's hair like this...

PecanPie In reply to LilacSunshade [2012-01-04 22:38:31 +0000 UTC]

To do it this way, you should have fairly short hair, like at the shoulders or a bit above. But really any length longer than that will work too, you'll just need to do a different way. There are a lot of tutorials out there on how to do it with longer hair, I just did it this way because I wanted to use my actual hair which wasn't long.

I like it.
Toph is one awesome chick!
I like the entire show. I watched the live action....I thought it was okay. My only downfall in it was that it had ZERO comedy, the scenes didn't fit together at all, and the names were pronounced wrong. -_-


Anyways. I like this. Its AWESOME!

Well if your hair is as short as it probably is in the back...you might just have to do it slightly differently. Try just teasing the crap out of your hair, using a bunch of a hairspray, and smoothing it into the right shape.

PecanPie In reply to losertastic124 [2008-09-10 00:52:00 +0000 UTC]

My hair is not very long at all, it ends like at the base of mt neck. If your hair is long an alternative method might work better.

Oooh nice.

I notice something tho... I think Toph herself my taker her hair and bring it over her head so the edges become part of her bangs. O-o

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but what I think you're describing would take longer hair than I have...

do you have to have long hair to do it? :'(

PecanPie In reply to Le-Noodle [2008-02-01 23:33:14 +0000 UTC]

No, I actually have short hair. There's ways to do it with long hair that might be slightly more accurate looking, but it's possible with short hair as well! But if it's too short you wont get enough volume. My hair is just to the back of my neck and layered.
