- Use temporary wash-out hair color spray or clip-in colored hair extensions if you don't want to dye your hair or wear a full wig.
- If you are using color hair spray, apply it outdoors or over a towel to avoid staining your bathroom walls or your costume.
- Slightly distress the t-shirt by making a few small, clean cuts near the collar and hem to match the movie's worn-in look.
