She was known not only for her phenomenal voice and excellent songs, but also for her very characteristic appearance. The singer always appeared with a strong cat eye and an incredible bun that reminded some of a beehive and others of an alien cocoon. Amy’s hairdresser created this hairstyle by accident and as a joke. “Come on, let’s make a caricature of you,” he said, checking out the different options.
Amy Winehouse’s hairstyle was created by accident and as a joke
Alex Folden styled Amy Winehouse’s hair especially for the “Back to Black” video. At that time, the singer was still experimenting with different hairstyles, and Folden, a bit irritated with the subsequent corrections, finally offered her to make a “caricature” of her.
Just for fun, I put her hair in a bun and added a pack of artificial hair. This hairstyle was never going to be this big. I told her I would make a caricature of her – I took two packs of light, artificial hair, pinned them and sewed them with a mesh, made something that we later called “fur balls”. I said, Please go and show yourself to them. I was making fun of myself, but when she came out of the trailer everyone said: “Yes, that’s it!” they said – he recalled in an interview with “Sunday People”.
Amy Winehouse’s hairstyle was not only distinctive, but also, as it turns out, very practical. The singer took advantage of the fact that her hair is very… capacious. Folden even compared it to a black hole, absorbing everything Amy put into it.
She once couldn’t find her phone for three days. She scratched her head and it turned out that it was in her hair – that’s where she hid it.
Amy also used a wig – not every bun volume she wanted could be achieved with extensions. One of the many wigs she wore will soon be auctioned in London. The price of the wig seen in the music video for “You know I’m no good” is estimated at 15,000 to 30,000 pounds – i.e. PLN 80,000-150,000.
