ST:TOS Uhura hairdo help

[rickrickrick]

Hi, folks.

Anyone have any hi-res screencaps of Lt. Uhura that show off her hairdo?

My wife hopes to be Uhura for Halloween, and I just recently noticed the weird thing going on just above her bangs. Need better source material to try to figure it out.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

That's probably clipped on, same as Rand's. Rand had some crazy hairdos looking like somebody weaved a wicker chairback out of her hair.

Uhura had several different hairstyles.. where they have the 'curled' part of the bouffant in the front often looked like a puffy 'handlebar-moustache' sort of look to me..and the bangs were not usually blunt cut, but 'fringy'..& all the movie styles were different too..
Like I tell anyone wanting to do a certain hard-to style hairdo, if you don't know how to style hair, find a good hairdresser, get their advice for a wig, show them photos and pay them to style the wig on the person wearing it. It's usually not that expensive, & you'll have better results going with a pro. Some old show pix:

Bumperoo.

Thanks to those who have responded.

My wife is capable of doing the do, I would just like better reference material for her.

Anyone with higher res, larger images? Uhura DID sport several styles, but the most iconic one was that bouffanty thing with the curls over the bangs.

Many thanks!

In your browser, highlight the second image you posted. You'll see that the curls over the bangs are a different shade than the rest of her hair. It's clipped on.
