How do you reckon they get the beads to stay in Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow wig?

Question

I want to copy it for Halloween

Answer 1

I just happen to have a huge door size poster on my closet door right in this room !

They are just hollow beads. The hair is braided and so the braiding stops the beads from sliding...and wedged in place.

Plus of course, they have "make up dept" to keep him looking pirate booty good.

I got the scarf from Eggo's when they had a special offer...it was just 1.99 and some boxtops which I had anyway.

Answer 2

My guess would be either small rubber bands the same color as the wig, or glue. Since it wasn't the actor's hair, there's really no danger of damaging the it.

Answer 3

It was all CGI
