Hazmat says:
To justify buying a kimono that I wanted - I decided to be a geisha for halloween.

I started with a bunch of double ended black and red steamed dreads (and some swirled dreads), and I used the left over black hair to make fringe. I made a big fall with most of the dreads and added in the red tubing. then I braided some of ther dreads in my hair ( I figured that it would be better to secure the fall with- but the fall wasn't that heavy- so I really didn't need it) - the whole thing took about an hour to put in, and 4 hours to make the fall.

My hair is blonde, so I had to make sure none poked out.

Ed's note - Hazmat's sketch of this planned costume is here, which I included 'cos I think it's great!
