Admittedly I got the Roll hair into that position by accident, but it wasn't difficult-- you just push it around actually. I turned it sideways and upsidedown at one point. It made a rather fine narrow mass of piled up curls ala Marie. And it was fun to do. The price is also right-- if you need the color of white powder, others Have inverted black in a paint proggie and added a bit of grey or yellow, depending on how you want it to look. Good luck and I'm sorry the old wigs are no longer available as well since I have Anton's lovely dresses and even for a fairy godmother they come in handy.:)) Emily
