- 4
Put on the long black wig, ensuring the middle part is aligned, and shake it out to create a messy texture.

Optional: Use a skin-safe pen or temporary tattoo marker to write 'O-Z-Z-Y' across the knuckles of your left hand.
Makeup & hair
Apply dark black eyeliner heavily around your upper and lower eyelids, smudging it with your fingertip for a worn-in "guyliner" look. Wear a long, messy, center-parted black wig, using a bit of hair wax or texturizing spray to give it a wild, unwashed rockstar volume.
